Gah! Skydrol!

Can't be worse than organic cutting fluid in CNC machines. If the stuff sits too long bacteria blooms in it. A type of bacteria that is fond of humans. If the stuff touched any king of scratch or cut I'd get a swollen nasty low level infection for a few days.

There didn't seem to be an indication of death from their vantage point.
Hard to imagine something of that scale falling in Manhattan without casualties. Not to mention the operator cab ended up inverted. The operator might have been fast enough to get out but I'd put strong odds on that being the casualty.

Fell asleep in the Bongshed last night. It was Glorious. Moonshine makes you groggy the next day. I need a homemade Bloody Mary. Yep pretty sure of that...

No doubt, if I were there it would probably take a few minutes to sink in, my desk top safety awareness pretty much ends at staples and scissors.

I have worked in a lot of really dangerous places. Most of which happened well before 'safety' became a big thing in the workplace. What kept you in one piece was recognizing unsafe situations well before it happened and avoiding it.

Careful, that sort of drinking can impact your health, try to find some cold pressed sodium free tomato juice.
Libbys in a box will have to do. I am thinking of putting some shrimp in it to make a proper breakfast. Garlic bread is not the same as left over pizza. Holy christ I feel awful.

The street normally has very little traffic which I am sure has something to do with the few people injured. I have been going down that street the last 6 months coming back from PT. They have been installing these massive AC units on the building I saw them on the street the other day biking to work. Did not look like there was any load on the crane though at the time of collapse.

I got Global Entry, PreCheck, and NEXUS approval for the whole family today. (Had to haul them into DIA and we all got processed despite only Mariko having an appointment. Score.)

In other news, the strong beams of the day-star upon the white snow make for quite the blinding walk from the parking garage to the hospital. I spend most of the walk with my eyes closed.

There is an Asian joke in there somewhere.
he could supplement his income on the weekends pretending to be blind by standing in the median of a busy intersection selling pencils...
