Everyone&#8217;s getting a few more hours, since we&#8217;re one person short, and we&#8217;re taking turns being &#8220;manager&#8221; for the day (taking seniority to the extreme &#8212; whoever on shift has been working the most consecutive days is &#8220;manager&#8221;). It&#8217;s been&#8230;interesting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Prairie and I went out to see the fireworks at Gas Works Park on Tuesday. Nice day relaxing in the sun, then things went all esplodey in the evening. Not a bad day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>We&#8217;re planning a trip down to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2007\/01\/23\/drama-and-disappointment\/\" title=\"Eclecticism: Drama and Disappointment\">Xebeth<\/a> in Vegas in early August.
