November 3rd marks the anniversary of the day in 1957 that Laika the dog became the first living creature to orbit the Earth aboard the Soviet satellite Sputnik 2. Now, before anyone gets too misty-eyed, this blogger will point out that Laika was a stray found on the streets of Moscow, which means the Soviets did her the favor of getting her off the streets and giving her a historic role in the space race. Whether Laika herself would have agreed that it was a favor is a matter of some debate. The point, if there is one — and this blogger always tries to have one — is that sometimes the universe launches you into orbit before you are entirely ready, and there is nothing left to do but ride it out and trust the trajectory. Something to think about on a Monday morning. You're welcome.
On to Miller business. BND El Segundo (BND ES) remains in Houston, doing highly skilled and reportedly excellent work on MOS's new restaurant project in Katy. Word among those who have spoken to him is that he is heads-down, hands-busy, and not in any particular hurry to discuss his personal life. This surprises absolutely no one. Meanwhile, the new carpenter at Junkalicious has settled in quietly. No drama to report there, which is either a good sign or a dull one, depending on your disposition. GND #5 has been spotted going about her business at EEFS on Black Avenue with the focused energy of a woman who has decided that keeping busy is the wisest possible policy. This blogger respects that policy. The Risen One (RO) has been notably less visible around town this week, which may simply mean his social calendar has shifted. Or it may mean something else entirely. This blogger declines to speculate. What this blogger will say is that the temperature at Junkalicious remains a few degrees below comfortable, and DT at the water office has reportedly extended her pool deadline by two weeks, citing insufficient data.
When DT extends a deadline, Millerites, pay attention. It means even she doesn't know which way the wind is blowing. And DT always knows which way the wind is blowing. 'Nuff said.
