Days are getting busier at work, which isn't great for evenings at home. They get full of little things and before you know it the whole day is gone and you are still wondering where the nearest DMV is (if you want to pull your hair out, try using PennDOT's website to locate one!) or exactly how the escrows on your mortgage are split or when you are ever going to be able to register to vote between 8:30 and 4:30 Tuesday thru Friday.
Other news. I got another long visit from my boss today, with another person stopping by mid-meeting to give me data. I'm busy at work and getting things done, but that is two priceless coincidences. We also talked about industrial wastelands in PA; I think the burning-underground-coal-seam in Centralia is on our list for a fall weekend. Nothing says 'fall colors' quite like a town that has been totally flattened because their garbage-burning literally lit the mountain on fire.
As of 9pm this evening, quarters are back to being worth $0.25. We took our last (barring disaster) trip to the laundromat; the last time clean clothes required quarters. It feels so good.
