Saw that one coming...
Actually, there's no way they'd come to help me. I haven't had some major health scare or family tragedy. Besides, the townhome association would be pissed.

I took a drive by the house I saw on the Internet... didn't live up to my expectations, woulda needed work, and the neighborhood didn't seem as good as the one I'm presently in.
At least I now have time to get everything that needs to be completed done in reasonable time. First up: re-wallpapering the downstairs bathroom.

Didn´t you know? Ty and co. don´t get good enough ratings if the family they help lost their house to a tornado, fire, explosion, quake or the Underground Raccon Army Fraction. At least one of the kids has to be physically disabled or a tard, but not deformed... the network only want cute kids on TV. It helps if you or the missus have lost the job in a unfair way.
Or what the fuck, call Ty and tell him there is a bottle of Jack and a free car ride in it for him.
The kids slept in for a change, but I forgot the housekeeper was coming over this morning so I had to wake up anyway

Just finished watching one of the best documentaries I´ve seen in years. It was about the Chernobyl-accident.
The official death-toll is around 4000 people. The inofficial report to the central comitee estimated a total cancerdeath to 40 000. But governments and the nuclear lobbyists in Europe thought that number would be bad PR so hence 4000.
So far no offical data over the 130 000 civilians and 500 000 military personel has been released. Most of the soldiers were reservist who dug tunnels underneath the reactor, took down houses and other structures and hunted animals to stop contanimation.
The harshest part was the one about the Bio-robots, the personel who cleaned up the debris from the roof. They had improvised anticontaminationsuits so they looked like the sandpeople in Star Wars. Lead-foil strapped to a simple suit and a visor. They worked in 45 second shifts using shovels to throw graphite debris from the roof. In the afternoons they couldn´t move their hands due to muscle blocks from the radiation. On the roof the dose was between 7000 to 12000 Röntgen per hour, it will kill you fast if you don´t have protection and are exposed to it for over a few minutes. If you are protected you will probably live for months or years before the cancer or nerve detoriation kills you. Unless you inhaled some dust by mistake, then you´d cough blood in a couple of hours.
They were asked why they went to clear up the mess and the answer they repeated was "Someone had to do it." About 20% of the workforce are dead today, they died in their 30s to 50s. And those still alive have their pensions reduced and are to weak to work. They recived a 100 rubel bonus after the clean up (around 100 dollars then) and a diploma (kinda like kindergarten)
Tough shit my friends, though shit.

Nah, we gave up on the igloo keeper, because when they swept, they wiped the walls away

POTSHOT APOCRYPHA
Good morning everybody!
What a day I've been having so far. Our IT guy is out for the week, and so I'm having to field all his calls. I was asked to look at a printer and a computer that weren't working. In both instances it involved a highly technical process of moving the power switch from off to on.
