h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It'd be good if you get the money so not having to work and study Marv

Mr. Cyde, you're Son of Luna???

Marv, I think it is absolutely fantastic that you are making a jump rather than being pushed, and the $10K makes it even better!

Good luck tomorrow, Professor. Somehow, I'm not worried.

Great news Marv , you'll be a top soon!

We will see if I can do this. I am still very unsure about the future. I do have to wait to get the boot to qualify, and I am not sure if I will qualify, but I will do what I can.

Well, best of luck, Marv. It sounds great.

Thanks, Lil.

*Heads off for a spell of the dreamless.*

Is there any way you can find out if you are entitled to if before you make the descion to leave? it seems worth putting in a few extra weeks work in that hell hole!

Good luck Marv.

Wish me luck for tomorrow too! I'm waiting for 110 sets of results from my Psychology students and about 400 from the General Studies. Then next week I put on my mum hat for Sunshine's set. She's taken 11 exams.

EEk good luck to all of them, this brings back memories for me, not really pleasent ones to be honest. I didn't get the A levels I should have done, but I got in anyway... with the complex of having the worst in my academic year.

It turned out that Manchester Europride will probably be just me and my ex, (in our crowd, there will be a lots of other people), I rang up to ask if she still wanted to come, and we extended it by two days.

Nice we're still friends isn't it.

The way that it works is that I have to continue working till the layoff, otherwise I get no severence or education benifit. I am still here for 4.5 more weeks, regardless of the outcome.

.. think of the food though..

Our fires are getting worse. Here's a webcam of Missoula:

And here's a link to the whole region. Missoula is in the west central portion of the state. It's the city surrounded by fires.

For reference, that white background where the sky and the mountains should be is solid smoke and ash.

FG, how is our mutual friend's asthma doing with it? It looks like she's pretty close to one of them.

I have little to no internet connection tonight. Fingers crossed this goes through.

Very scary, FG. Is there an evacuation plan if it gets too close?

Ahem....one of the Salonistas has a new regular feature in . I won't say who, but I'll be very cranky if no one reads it.

Missoula at night looks pretty normal. I looked for a while, rather bemused by the city-ness of it. I would have to go up to Albuquerque or down to El Paso to find as much city as that in one place!

Over to La Bosquita this evening to haul fallen branches into piles and to watch those hawk moths some more. I was having so much fun that I forgot to come back and log in for the mojovox chat, so I've sent an email to find out what the case is regarding their transporter....

The weather is distinctly cooler today. Bliss!

Salt lake City is hot and muggy...

The upside of Marv learning to be a chef is I won't have to do his dishes like I do now ( Marv doesn't do dishes). The downside is I will have to hear constant criticism of my cooking even more than I do now. I know I'm a lousy cook- largely because i don't enjoy eating enough to justify the time and expense to become a good one !

Marv, I do hope the grant comes through for you.

I am getting really concerned about Amy.

I shall be reading later today

Big for coely, it's still frees strange to be out of that whole school thing.
