Gunshy from yesterday's commute, I'll be working remotely today.

Seems reasonable. Two hours will do that to a person.

I'll be home tomorrow too. Starting on Friday, I've got four commute days in a row.

Ouch. I certainly don't miss the commute, and mine was never over 25 minutes in the morning.

I never didn't have a fun commute day, so suck it up snowflakes.

Sheesh. You'd think it was Tuesday.

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 18, the 262nd day of 2024.
There are 104 days left in the year.



Today in history:

In 1961, United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold (dahg HAWM’-ahr-shoold) was killed in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).

There used to be an elementary school in the area named after him. I always thought it was mean to make little kids try to learn that name.

What a coinkidink...I'm DAG too....my initials anyway.

At least a school named after you would be easier to pronounce.

Looks like tomorrow morning, I'll be hitting the links. Friday morning I've got kind of an odd split schedule happening, as I have to take the oldest to get paperwork filled out at her new job. She's finally got her first one, she'll be slinging burgers for the golden arches.

She could be President some day.

Indeed. Gotta start somewhere.

Indeed!  She is now in the company of 12.5% of the US population.

There are U.N. buildings and plazas all over the east side of Manhattan named for him. I generally just say, Dag.

Which includes both of her parents.

I may join you, virtually.

Here's our coinkydink of the day, even though they didn't show up on the list - Christina Chong and Babs Olusanmokun, who both star in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, share a birthday today.

It'll be either Friday or Saturday. If one is better for you, let me know and we'll make it that day.

The solution was going to be my third guess, but then I thought I'd try something else first. That'll learn me.
