Bonk!
Athenais just pointed me to the Mutts comic store. Shtuff, indeed!
My only regret is the squirrels don't have their own t-shirt.
Currently my tasks involve swapping hard drives, conjuring laptops (I was just told that it was a surprise I only had four loaners to give. That's double what we had before, and that's not enough?), and avoiding the heat.
I figured out why I find the heat so interesting. Portland's weather is somewhat monotonous, so this is a chance for some variety. Still not going to the Brewfest.
