Rough couple of days at the office. Reassign folks to other facilities, provide Public Health services up and running within a couple of days, building abatement...Continuity of Operations Plan implemented...
Squeeze greatest hits to the hard drive...That is all.
So, yesterday, I watched a documentary on Linda Ronstadt. I remember seeing her in concert in '77 and in San Diego. She wore a cub scout outfit and was great. Today, I listened to her stuff...
Caturday.....Ham, the orange cat sits on a messy computer desk for a visit and a scritch.
On Thursday, I'll provide radiological fundamentals to the very nice social services folks. We have an exercise in June, that will require their sheltering activities blended with a nuclear power station casualty response. I am sure all will be well.
