That's a fine idea. This one report I need to prepare I'm told takes upwards of 3 hours. It was due last week. After my 6:30 meeting ends, I'm gonna do everything in my power to finish it in an hour. I'll just have to be creative and make shit up as I go along.

And with all that said I'm off to my first meeting and therefore, out of pocket until about 10. Don't miss me too much.

You're right. Sorry. (By the way, this is me procrastinating)

I read something yesterday that Pittsburgh was going to have a tough schedule. I haven't actually seen it yet.

Don't know what this is, but SBC is offering it today:
Lampert 1675 Has Arrived!
We are excited to annouce the arrival of the new Lampert 1675! For today only if you wish to try the Lampert 1675 you can enjoy 15% off plus 5% in reward points.
CODE: LAMPERT = 15% off plus 5% reward points on Lampert 1675!
"Lampert 1675 is an extraordinary creation by Fábrica AGROTABACOS, Nicaragua. This edition was blended by Indiana Ortez, the youngest of the Ortez family, daughter of tobacco industry heavyweight Omar Ortez and a rising star in the cigar industry.
This cigar offers rich, nuanced flavors that constantly evolve throughout the smoking experience.
This cigar blends the slightly citrus taste of a high Peruvian priming (ligero) together with fillers grown, fermented and aged by the ORTEZ family in the Jalapa and Condega valleys. This combination strikes the perfect balance between smooth, sweet and sour flavors that continuously evolve during the smoking experience." - Lampert Cigars
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Nicaragua
FIller: Nicaragua Peru

Today is Wednesday, May 12, the 132nd day of 2021.
There are 233 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlights in History:
On May 12, 1949, the Soviet Union lifted the Berlin Blockade, which the Western powers had succeeded in circumventing with their Berlin Airlift.
On this date:
In 1780, during the Revolutionary War, the besieged city of Charleston, South Carolina, surrendered to British forces.
In 1937, Britain’s King George VI was crowned at Westminster Abbey; his wife, Elizabeth, was crowned as queen consort.
In 1943, during World War II, Axis forces in North Africa surrendered. The two-week Trident Conference, headed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, opened in Washington.
In 1955, Manhattan’s last elevated rail line, the Third Avenue El, ceased operation.
In 1958, the United States and Canada signed an agreement to create the North American Air Defense Command (later the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD).
In 1970, the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Harry A. Blackmun as a Supreme Court justice.
In 1975, the White House announced the new Cambodian government had seized an American merchant ship, the Mayaguez, in international waters. (U.S. Marines gained control of the ship three days after its seizure, not knowing the 39 civilian members of the crew had already been released by Cambodia.)
In 1982, in Fatima, Portugal, security guards overpowered a Spanish priest armed with a bayonet who attacked Pope John Paul II. (In 2008, the pope’s longtime private secretary revealed that the pontiff was slightly wounded in the assault.)
In 1997, Australian Susie Maroney became the first woman to swim from Cuba to Florida, covering the 118-mile distance in 24 1/2 hours.
In 2002, Jimmy Carter arrived in Cuba, becoming the first U.S. president in or out of office to visit since the 1959 revolution that put Fidel Castro in power.
In 2008, a devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake in China’s Sichuan province left more than 87,000 people dead or missing.
In 2009, five Miami men were convicted in a plot to blow up FBI buildings and Chicago’s Sears Tower; one man was acquitted. Suspected Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk (dem-YAHN’-yuk) was deported from the United States to Germany.
-
Ten years ago: CEOs of the five largest oil companies went before the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats challenged the executives to justify tax breaks at a time when people were paying $4 a gallon for gas. A German court convicted retired U.S. autoworker John Demjanjuk of being an accessory to the murder of tens of thousands of Jews as a Nazi death camp guard. (Demjanjuk, who maintained his innocence, died in March 2012 at age 91.)
Five years ago: A divided U.S. Supreme Court blocked the execution of an Alabama inmate so that a lower court could review claims that strokes and dementia had rendered him incompetent to understand his looming death sentence. (A federal appeals court ruled in March 2017 that Vernon Madison was incompetent, and could not be executed.)
One year ago: House Democrats unveiled a coronavirus aid package totaling more than $3 trillion, including nearly $1 trillion for states and cities to avert layoffs and a fresh round of direct cash aid to American households. (The measure won House approval but Senate Republicans and the White House rejected it as too costly.) Dr. Anthony Fauci warned a Senate panel that cities and states could “turn back the clock” and see more COVID-19 deaths and economic damage if they lifted stay-at-home orders too quickly. German photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who shot some of the earliest and most striking images of the Beatles and helped shape their visual style, died at age 81 in her native Hamburg.

Hit or miss here as to who has their info updated, it looked like. Some places haven't changed their websites, but Cleveland Clinic has. Still had to call though, because their website scheduling system requires you to have an account, which I don't have, so it seemed the easier way to go instead of fukkin' with setting up a new account.

I'll just have to be a bit more patient, I guess. My 11 year olds want me to lie and say they're 12 in order to qualify, since they were born in 2009.

Hopefully the phone operators aren't having to use the same web system. Frequently, it is the case that they are.

She had me signed up in no time, since they already have access to their system, instead of having to go through the "new account" set up process.

Trump's out of office and Hugo Chavez is dead. Rodrigo Duterte has been quiet lately. We've still got Boris Johnson and Vladimir Putin, but they've been a bit reticent lately too. Biden hasn't tripped on any stairs in a couple of weeks.
Someone's gotta pick up the Public Buffoonery pace, right? Wait for it...wait for it...
He's ba-aaaack.
