Universe save me from snarky women and election boards.....

has risen from 34 to 45 this morning. I have a fire in the fireplace. We have not yet started the furnace this season, but it was damned close this morning.

I acquired a copy of an unfilmed S&H script and have been reading it as a get a moment. I love how they borrowed from other scripts, for the opening to this one is nearly the same as "Little Girl Lost" - the jewelry store, the Yamamoto, the chase into the flower shop - only it's guys from a bus at a bus statoin they're meant to be watching for and while waiting for the bus to arrive, Starsky is after that watch. The bus arrives early, they tear out after, Arnold chases them to the flower shop. Heh.

My best friend's husband got laid off his job - sign of the times. They just bought a house. She works in hotel hospitality - banquets, etc. yeah, not like much of that is happening like it used to (unless you're Lehman Bros, of course.) So they're having a "To alcohol, the cause and solution to all of life's problems.....party" in a couple of weeks. Hell yeah, we're so there.

Me& Thee listers (catalina1227, did you do the age form?), if you signed up for Secret Santa, I'm attempting right now to get the assignments out before my 10am meeting.

Jewish friends who may read this later this afternoon, Yom Tov.

Speaking of, work just went insane and bless D and Y for their holiday, but dang, did the timing suck...can't wait to see them later this afternoon.
