Halloween Ear Worm
So, come up to the lab,
And see what's on the slab!
I see you shiver with antici.......pation
But maybe the rain
Isn't really to blame.
So I'll remove the cause.........
But not the symptom!
Happy Halloween Folks!

I know some very interesting people
In the spirit of Halloween, LabRat and Popehat have really good survival tips for victims of a demonic, psychotic, or supernatural serial killer.
Conversely, Stingray has really good tips for the demonic, psychotic, supernatural serial killer. Hey, we're an equal opportunity blog sphere here.
All of these sundry rules remind me to the recent discussions of the Four Rules of firearms. Alan boiled them down to two, and Tam was able to get down to 1:
Update - Just found that Old NFO also has a good list of do's and don'ts for those who want to survive the weekend.

Thou shalt not be stupidFunny - that rule was related to me by an old soldier in 1990, although his version had an obscene adverb to modify stupid. Looks like some truths are timeless and can fit into just about any situation.

Today's Thought
In Vino Veritas does not mean that you need to be drinking in order to be working on Veritas Cluster, Volume Manager, or File System. But it can't hurt.
Early to Bed, Early to Rise, makes... Aw forget it
Got to bed a little late last night, and Irish Woman decided we needed to get up early today because I have a doctor's appointment this morning. Apparently staying up late to play Lego Star Wars isn't a good excuse. Hey, those droid troopers aren't going to lightsaber themselves!
Oh. Sweet. Cthulhu. I'm. Beat. How did I get up at oh my god thirty every morning for 9 years when I was in the military?
On the flip side, there is coffee, which has always been there for me.
I'm gonna go shotgun a mug or two. Y'all have a good morning.

An Eventful Day
Well, it's been a heck of a day. To quote Paul Paulson, the wind blew and the crap flew but we're only here for a day or two.
On the drive to work this morning, the wind was blowing hard enough to push economy cars around like an air hockey puck. The walk to the building at work was also quite breezy.
About 10:30, the alarm sounded and we all trundled down to what we believed was the storm shelter. Looking back, it might be a good idea to confirm with engineering that the bathrooms all the way across the building are the storm shelter. In a real emergency we won't have 15 minutes to walk a block. As we waited for the storm and possible tornado to hit, we were entertained by the conga line of empty cargo containers gliding around on the roller floor. All of the large cargo doors were open, so the wind was able to push them around at will.
I had my radio with me, and the local AM station was transmitting constant updates. Apparently tornadoes either touched down or were close to the ground in several parts of the county.
The storm was pretty powerful as it passed over us, but it was moving very fast. Behind the fast moving gust front was heavy rain but very little wind.
We all trundled back upstairs and got back to work. Irish Woman and I were e-mailing back and forth on our phones and her work did pretty much the same thing as mine.
Our neighborhood lost power. Other than that we didn't take any damage. Overall Louisville seems to have dodged a bullet.
Many thanks to all of the first responders who were out in force to take care of business after the storm passed. The roads were clear by the time I went home this afternoon and our power is back on.
Hopefully this is fall breaking away from that extended Indian summer we've been having the past couple of months.

I think this story speaks for itself.
FWIW, my father served in the 4th Infantry Division's Divisional Artillery in Vietnam.

Thought for the Day
When asked by a co-worker when you plan on having a task finished, "When you can pick your biological father out of a line up" is not an appropriate response.

My Attitude Exactly
I'm getting kind of sick of protests. I'm really sick of speeches and commercials. Can we just vote and get done with all this nonsense?
