I spent my Samhain doing something frightening, but not at all pagan...
I spent my day trying to convince the Stanislaus County Fire Marshall not to shut down ERPS's operations out at the Rocket Ranch. We succeeded, I think. The new Fire Marshall has a science background, a laid back attitude, and a strong, personal relationship with reality.
We also showed him the things he most wanted to see -- willingness, even eagerness to cooperate; a sober, serious approach to safety; and respect for his position and knowledge. I like firefighters, and have utmost respect for the work they do. People who go into harm's way to save the lives of complete strangers are very cool

Alright, I've been coming to this journal for like 2 months now, and it's the same entry from Halloween. Please tell me what the heck Samhain is.

Samhain is the old Celtic New Year, falls on the same day as Halloween, and is popular with most pagans as a major holiday. As for why no updates, two reasons: first, I have been insanely busy. Second, I got a livejournal, as rocketgeek. My RL friends all seem to have them, so I finally joined the bandwagon.
