My first day back in the office after our vacation. Among the discoveries: there's the department picnic tomorrow afternoon so I guess we're not getting a lot of work done past noon. Also, there's a table outside with free-to-a-good-home bottles of hand sanitizer and ``particle filtering half masks'' that meet some code I don't understand but that don't say N95 on the box. Also, my boss joked about whether I came in last Wednesday, which is how I learned that he had forgotten I had the day off and texted me to find out where I was. I never saw the text, which is how I learned he had our home number, the land-line number, as the one to send me texts. The land line doesn't take texts, but it is otherwise the appropriate way to get in touch with me when I'm at home, as it's audible from the whole house. As a subsidiary discovery, apparently my boss didn't notice all day Monday that I hadn't logged in (remotely) or done any work, which probably won't be of any practical use to me.
In the absence of use, then, or the time to write up more Anthrohio, here's pictures from Cedar Point:
Bird hanging out on the structure leading to a roller coaster's launch platform, vibing. My album cover for the day.
The park's commemorating the 60th anniversary of their railroad with some merchandise, including a Lionel train that costs five hundred bucks plus tax.
Collection of Wild Mouse plush for the new ride.
Our commemorative brick is still there! Do you see it?
The old 1904 World's Fair statuary is still around too, and still looking good.
And at the French Quarter ... there's now two flags upside-down, up from last season's one.
