Gonna start saving up for some of these svelte puppies, with claimed 980g. They're also $60, though. I haven't spent that much on a tyre since the mid-90s.

So if you have a rock star intern, you have to kind of campaign them and pull out all the stops to make their application really reflect that. I wrote one of his three letters of reference. You need to know what to say and I've been in the game long enough that I pretty much know what to say.
That said, isn't this a lousy system that requires the usage of special code words? Not just picking on veterinary medicine--it's this way in a number of fields.

So...
I get a phone call from one of my cohorts today. He is on-site looking at some structural steel that I designed. His claim is that the layout is incorrect. The fabricator wants us to take a look at it. I tell my drafter we are taking a trip, get the drawings and we will depart after lunch. Upon our arrival, we are greeted with indifference. We are pointed in the general direction of the steel and out host disappears. We spend some time looking at the fabricated steel and can't figure out what the issue is. I call back t the office and get no help. So, we start nosing around. We discover that some gusset plates are in the wrong location, some base plates are the wrong size and we start making notes. We walk over to some other sections, look at each other and realize the same thing at the same time. All of this steel was fabricated to the wrong drawings. It was all fabricated to a previous issue of the drawings. Sorry, not much we can do. We tell the fabricator we are at a loss and tell him we will be back in the morning to check the rest of the steel.

Just kidding folks.

I know one NY guy who moved to Okiehoma and then married a Jerzey girl. She loves it there too.

An acquaintance of mine has encountered a pretty strong OCD conundrum in a urinal where I assume he works. Turn it over or leave it be?

Baby girl generously let us get about 3 hours of sleep last night. Extra espresso for me this morning.

Lol. Just logged in to Flickr and found that the photo of my wife and girl got picked up on Explore, which is Flickr's daily best kind of deal. So the photo that my wife didn't want "all over fb" has had thousands of views, shares and favorites overnight. Oops.
