A Tiring Day of Ups and Downs

Today has been a day with more ups and downs than a roller coaster. Satisfying on the whole, but am I ever exhausted here at the end of it.

( My day, and welcome to it. )

I'm probably going to shower and collapse into bed before too long, so I can maybe get a decent night of sleep at last. For now, I think I'm just going to enjoy being back in front of my computer for a while.

Stupidity Approaching Darwin Point

From CNN: Feds arrest forestry worker for starting fire

Prosecutors said Terry Barton, a 38-year-old Colorado woman, burned in anger a letter from her estranged husband, in violation of a ban on fires in the tinder-dry Pike National Forest. She apparently thought the fire had been extinguished and left it only to find later that it was spreading, they said.

[...]

At the time the fire began, Barton was under orders to patrol for fires in the Hayman area of the national forest, enforcing a fire ban that had been set in May.

I lack the words to do this justice.
