Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
While today will be yet another ho-hum day for most people, it's significant to me.
Today, I turned 40.
Crap.....freakin 40. Forty!!! OMG!
My insurance rates are cheaper now.
UPDATE: One of the gifts that my wife and daughter got for me is something that I honestly have been wanting to get since around 1982: all three seasons of the original Star Trek series!!
Boo-Freakin-YAH!!

|| Posted by Tetzman, October 23, 2007 02:28 PM ||Really Mikey...Me too!!! Only I'm 41 (Like you didn't know...)Happy Birthday to my oldest friend (saying oldest is better than saying "longest").
|| Posted by sturgesbob, October 23, 2007 06:59 PM ||Happy Birthday...officially! Strange to see how things have changed so radically since dinner the other night. Glad we got the big celebration in before things went weird.
|| Posted by Da Goddess, October 23, 2007 08:34 PM ||Happy Birthday, Mikey. Trust me when I say, when you're 60, 40 will look good. I'm 61 which makes Tetzman a "young punk".

Getting Hot
Big fun in San Diego:
And that's a record for San Diego: 513,000 people displaced. Over one half of a million people. That is a big-ass number!It's kind of weird here at my house - there is hardly no people out of their houses....no one walking their dogs, no joggers. Granted, I live on sort of a cul-de-sac that doesn't have a lot of traffic even when there aren't fires, but it's still weird.
My daughter's school was cancelled yesterday and today and I just now heard that it's closed for the rest of the week. Needless to say, she's thrilled about it!! (Now maybe I can get her to clean her room.....) UC San Diego was also closed Monday and today; whether or not there will be any classes in the rest of the week will probably be announced this afternoon; I can't see them actually having classes this week since a huge chunk of the students commute from other parts of the county.....too many people might be cut off and it would probably be best if they just said 'screw it' for the week.
We have some friends of ours that had to evacuate their houses up in Poway and their staying with us; the wife and daughter are with us now and the husband was activated along with the rest of his National Guard military police unit to assist with the emergency here in San Diego.
I don't see the fire getting anywhere near us, but we've got a pile of bags and stuff ready to be thrown into the back of my truck and off we'll go if it comes to it.

Aren't you glad I didn't show up too? You'd have been beyond capacity, my friend. Hope your other friends have made it back home. We're back in now and the air has cleared considerably. Ran AC during the day and now don't need to. It's actually pretty nice at the moment.
|| Posted by Da Goddess, October 23, 2007 08:36 PM ||So glad you all didn't have to evacuate! I was worried about the three of you.
|| Posted by caltechgirl, October 23, 2007 10:04 PM ||Checking in...crawling out from under the ash.
Fire within 500 feet of Mom's back door...lots and lots of scary moments with her evacuation. Boss's house also close but safe. Trying to keep everyone safe and sane kept me extremely busy. Today, I am just extremely thankful. All of my duckies are safe and accounted for.
