Never heard of such things, here in capitalism's armpit.

I have a sore throat and a dribbly nose.

Caterpillar will be 100 years old in 2025. So a couple of years ago, they celebrated by having all the executive offices leave Peoria, and move to Deerfield, Illinois. Because, you know. Gotta share the love.

Don't think so. The parental unit was suffering earlier in the week and I think she's rather kindly (!) now shared it with me.

Get well soon, the both of you.

We got three new busses at work today.

Ooooh, new toys!

Smaller than previous busses around here. After Monday or so, I'll be the last one driving a medium sized shuttle on the everyday.

Not new then, just new to you.

Nope. Or at least, I don't think so...
