half-time show!

[Mark Cramer]

For those who push dull bits to the limit, and everyone else who derive
vicarious relief and amusement from the suffering of others;

Last night, down in the shop, my brother and I were milling the top of a
multi-tiered pinblock surface with a router and a progressively duller
bit,..  a little too close to a smoke detector head.

This while jazz recording-artists Ron Paley and Greg Gatien were performing
to a sold-out crowd upstairs in the recital hall.

I don't feel like talking about this a whole lot more at the moment, except
to say that "while fanning the air around a "household" smoke detector can
sometimes clear things up enough to shut off the alarm, it doesn't seem to
have the same effect on an "institutional" central-alarm system!"

Btw, Canadians may be the only people on earth who can turn an evacuation
into the -20 degree night air into a social event! :>)
