I know three separate people who have lost everything, and several others who are nervously watching from wherever they evacuated to. We've been through some pretty horrible shit in Houston, but this just horrible to watch from afar. I can only imagine what it like to go through.

The lawtalkers folk who I know are in the area have marked themselves safe on Facebook. I hope they stay so.

Our managing partner parents and an expert witness I use. OTOH, full employment for California insurance attorneys.

In Santa Cruz, there are lots of stories of frustration from people who lost houses four years ago in the CZU fires and who have struggled to rebuild for various reasons. I assume that the insurance does not make most people whole.

eta: Interesting Twitter thread here about rebuilding from fires in Santa Rosa in 2017.

One of the best things about New York

I was standing in a coworkers office looking out the window and there was a modelesque young lady in the building across from us stark naked getting dressed. Absolute 10/10.

Do you outrank him? Suggest switching up offices.

Re: Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!

I am looking for a new job, and am wondering if my resume is not optimized for the technology that many places are using for screening. There are people and services that say they will take care of this for you, but I am skeptical about their application in the specific sort of niche that we all are in. Does anyone have any experience with these services, or any suggestions about what I should be doing?

No need our offices are right next to each other, I just happened to be in hers. I have a better view from mine.

I have worked with her for over 24 years but needless to say it was a little bit uncomfortable.
