touche, I was trapped by Jon and Joe.
Good seeing you in any case and glad you had a good week.

Cleared IRDO and will be heading to Afghanistan tomorrow via Kuwait.
It is actually happening! I am getting much more anxious!
I will probably be dark for about a week. Not sure about the internet situation in transit or once I get there.

Godspeed, Lynn

That sounds like the title of your autobiography Steve!
Good seeing you as well. It was an awesome week. And you got a taste for it as well!

Lynn: Stay safe!
Everyone else: Did everyone (in the US at least) start their July 4 weekend early? Sheesh...
Nothing in here since ~5:30am and that from someone I think is on the other side of the Atlantic...

That'd be very early indeed. The July 4th weekend is next weekend.

Just so the rest of you can feel jealous, I got a hug from Gail and a handshake from Rodney last week 🙂I can't top that recently but I still have the piece of rebar that Rodney presented to me back in 2011.
Steve - you only got a handshake because of the desk you were sitting behind! 😀
Hope SQL in The City went well. I hear the last seassion with Gail, Grant and yourself was the highlight.
Jeff you sure it was me? I remember having to looking up what one was as it was slightly lost in translation. Actually you came up in conversation at the Southampton Relay event. One of the speakers mentioned Numbers table, and pointed a couple of folks to your article here on SSC!
Cheers,
Rodders...
Sorry. Different Rodney.
Thanks for the referral on the Tally Table article. 🙂

My July 4 holiday will begin in a little more than 2 hours - my employer is in the automotive manufacturing business and the infamous "shutdown" is nearly upon us.

Sorry, I haven't heard about a "shutdown". Is this something in the news lately or a long-time yearly thing?

We were just laughing about that as we were coming back from lunch. Literally half of our parking lot is empty. We always expect the people with doors to be gone on Friday afternoons but it seems that half of the place is gone today.

This is standard practice in the US - the week of July 4 and the week of Christmas are typically no production.

True enough. I expected next week to be dismally empty but it seems like it started on Wednesday of this week already. Oh well, not like I don't have plenty to do.
