Wow…nothing like flood damage in the office to start a Monday morning. Fortunately people were in over the weekend & caught it.
Ooh, neat! Server problems too! (Not flood-related.)

I slowed down and tried to move into the next lane — around the car that was pacing me — so that I didn’t end up getting plowed into by the giant truck behind me. (It takes a long time for those things to stop!)
