Saw one of my sisters while I was there. She got blown up - she and a co-worker got caught in an explosion at work. Burned her face, mostly, Looked mighty rough, but getting better. This happened last Tuesday, and the first I heard of it was today. Living out in the sticks and not sitting on Facebook constantly has it's disadvantages I reckon.

Really? That is horrifying, man :(
I am hoping that she recovers completely and quickly.
She'll be fine. She's ambulatory now, and will likely be released back to work in about a week or so. We're built pretty sturdy around here.
It was mostly flash burns. They were incinerating trash, and someone had thrown a full aerosol can of air freshener into a trash bag. It blew up with a big fireball and some shrapnel, but most of the blast was channeled out through the door of the incinerator.
She spent most of the time talking about the time I blew myself up and burned off my eyebrows, and the time I cut my thumb off and sewed it back on myself. I reckon I must have been an inspiration for her or something, so she's toughing it out, and will be back on the job shortly.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
