Well, laser tag at work still continues to be wonky. Between an electrical surge and the earthquake, enough equipment has been damaged that the system is still temperamental even after two major pieces have been replaced.

More parts are on the way. But as of this morning, it seems to be functioning as it should.

We got this system nine years ago, and it has been dependable until now...and it took power problems and an earthquake to break it. The company has been really good about getting the replacement pieces to us in more than a timely manner.

Well, I intend (intend, mind you) to go to the recycle center and the PO today. Volume Seven of Girl Genius (link at left) was shipped Monday, and it should be there by now.

"The world can be saved by steam!!"

That's STEAM. Not MIST.

Be seeing you.
