7am: The Thrill of It
Jul. 18th, 2007 08:18 pm[written this morning, but I got so busy I forgot to post]
I am not up at work this early, but I swapped shifts with a coworker. This means I will be able to leave early. Wahoo!
I thought I would be yanked out of my slumber by my alarm. However, Sascha the cat decided to wake me up by an intense self-grooming session about 12 inches from my ear.
I recommend the sound of moist licking as an alarm sound in the morning. It's a tad disconcerting.
While listening to NPR's Morning Edition, I heard an interesting interview by a woman whose family challenged themselves to live a year without buying anything made in china. You can hear her interview here.
Here's a sad local story about a man was killed by some Russians at a picnic spot near Lake Natoma. Apparently a group of Russians did not approve of Satender Singh's group's conduct and had been harassing the party much of the day. 911 was called, but they couldn't find the picnic spot. And in the view of the caller, the Park employee that was at the gate was not responsive either. I experienced something similar. There appears to be no protocol for these people who work at the Park to address problems in the park. At least that's what it seems like, as their reaction is one of lack of interest.
