Chemical Spill Near My Office

This is taking place 2 buildings away right now.  The spill occurred at 9:45am – or about 2 1/2 hours ago.  The road into our industrial development is closed to incoming traffic – anybody from here who leaves is stuck.

I took a walk next door to the post office and bought some stamps.  There is a single news chopper hovering overhead, and a news SUV was parked at the post office.  (The post office is probably screwed up as well – nobody can get in or out.)

I’ll update if there’s more news.

UPDATE 12:40pm – The link above has a better story now.  Apparently they’ve opened the road again.

Once in a while, you have to pat yourself on the back for the little things.

1. Spoke to solar panel installer about revised schedule (more info at Smith Electric Company). Re-arranged vacation schedule at work on short notice.
2. Located 14-year-old bug in the billing system that just showed up this month. This was a tricky one.
3. Managed not to annoy wife who got to stay home today when I got up and dressed this morning.
4. Pet cats. Cats happy to see me.
5. Offered advice to another IT group on a joint project.

All in all, a quiet day. Any day without discord is a gift.
