I'm astonished that I've a) thought about the Friday post and b) got there before anyone else! Have a jolly good weekend, whatevr you're doing and wherever you're doing it.
I have to work on my car. :( It needs a new alternator.
I may be Green, but at least I'm environmentally friendly.

I don't know. We're about to get dumped on, snow-wise. By the end of the day on Saturday, we could have as much as 12 inches on the ground :(. For this area (southwestern Ohio), that's a lot, especially for March.

Nope, I'm on the east side of Dayton. I work in Kettering (a Dayton suburb) and live in Xenia (famous for its bike paths and for getting torn up by tornados periodically).

I like Kentucky. I've done a couple contracting jobs 'south of the border' as it were, and really liked the area. Lots of nice hills for cycling on. Looks like we're both getting the cruddy weather today, although if I remember the weather map, you're getting it worse than we are. Be safe when you head home today.

Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

That's usually the case with us too, but not today. It's been coming down pretty heavily for the last couple of hours, and doesn't show any signs of letting up. I'm probably going to wimp out and leave early, before the worst of the morons hit their commute.

My first ever job (16 years old in 1982) was programming an Apple IIe to read data from a Nicolette Oscilloscope, graphing it, and pushing it up to a DEC PDP-11 for analysis by the Fortran developers. It was a the prime "internship" for Mead Digital Systems JET progrma (Joint Education and Training) in Vandalia. I drew up on the northern edge of West Chester and my dad worked at MDS until they were bought by Kodak and turned into Diconix. He was one of the senior engineers who got layed off. I've also consulted at Daycon (was there when they moved from downtown to One Prestige Place by Dayton Mall) as well as consutling in Kettering (for The Other Place, a homeless shelter and advocacy group). Oh, and Wright-Patterson is my FAVORITE museum, period.

Go check out RoadID.com, if you haven't already. That's the company I work for (and the website I co-developed and regularly work on). We make wearable ID and safety equipment for endurance athletes. If you don't have one, a Road ID is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment you will ever buy.

The weather report is saying the NW part of Cincy will get it the worst, but we are expecting 6 inches or more of snow in NKY today. My place in Hebron is likely to get more than my office in Ft. Mitchell. Stay in, stay safe, and stay warm! -Rob AKA Draugnar

Oh. My. God. Talk about small worlds. I work for Eastman Kodak Company. In reverse order, our organization has been called: Kodak Versamark, Scitex Digital Printing, Kodak Dayton Operations, Diconix, Mead Digital Systems. I've worked for them since the "Kodak Dayton Operations" days.

Agreed. Very :cool: place to wander around. They run a nice marathon at WPAFB every September.

Hey! I'm a proud owner of one. I bought it last year after I spilled my bike. I was only out for about ten seconds, and I did have ID in my wallet which was in my underseat bag, but it wasn't on my body. I make a point of wearing it when I run outside, especially when I'm by myself. I take my company ID with me (we've got badged doors), but that only has my name on it, no contact information. You folks make a damn nice product. Thanks!
