My wife, Jessica, is home and in bed. The folks at the ER were not able to give us any firm answers but they performed a CT scan on her chest with an iodine IV (don't know the name). This test showed no clot and the doctor ruled that out completely.

So, we will wait for the results of the blood work that they ran. She is just worn out mentally and physically and that probably contributed to her blood pressure. That and the fact that the family physician hinted that she might be pregnant (the test came back negative).

It's amazing how stressful it is to be told that "you need to go to the ER now!".

There's tons of good Portuguese in the Ironbound. I went to one of them a few years ago, and I'm drawing a blank on the name too. There's lots of good Spanish too. That's one thing that Newark definitely has going for it. My complaining about New Jersey is more based on governance than anything.

Do transcon crews ever do an immediate turn (well, after a 1:40 layover) back to EWR?

Glad Jessica is ok, Hartmann. That's good news.

In other news, the cascade of :rolleyes: never seems to stop. I made a unilateral decision today to change our LAN configuration here in the office. We have three bonded T1 circuits for data and VoIP that terminate into a Cisco box. Our provider's web interface to make these changes since they don't release Cisco passwords to dirty end users like me caused the router to bork and completely wipe our config. Four hours and three techs later I finally got our servers, phones, and the rest of the local network back online.

The kicker: I'm not in IT. :rolleyes:

It's time to go home and spend time with the wife. Night, Box.

New Jersey's unique style of poor governance leads to a craphole status that makes the craphole status inescapable no matter how visually stunning something may be. Atlantic City is a prime example of that. There are redeeming features to the city with the recent development, but ignorance on the part of the business community and corruption in government will ultimately destroy whatever good could come from Atlantic City. Thanks for the good wishes. ^

Jersey Gardens is more of a craphole than both EWR and much of the area surrounding it.

A clip on Comcrap.net says that Jon and Kate (or, maybe more accurately, Kate has ordered Jon) want to be legally separated by July 15th, and that he's going for half of their estimated $10MM that they've built up from the show. Popcorn, please? Courtroom 1. Thanks. :cool:

That's a bold statement but I defer to the judgment of those more proximal to EWR.
