A Neurosigntist’s Wanton Disregard for Federal Authority of the Day (Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the JuxtapositionFest 2009)

Protect THIS!

Awesome: This morning, I attended the Pentagon Force Protection Agency’s “Urban Shield” Operational Response test. The test was conducted to improve the operational response of emergency personnel to an outdoor airborne biological attack and to evaluate the effectiveness of various personnel decontamination procedures. Test volunteers were positioned at locations inside and outside of the Pentagon, and a single release of a biological particulate tracer material, referred to as garden powder, occured along a nearby access road. Post-release, volunteers were transported to a decontamination station near the Pentagon Navy Annex, where test volunteers underwent surface sampling to evaluate their exposure to the particulate tracer followed by one of two water-based decontamination protocols. Post-decontamination, volunteers underwent another round of surface sampling to evaluate removal of the particulate tracer.

Awesomer: The event marked a rare opportunity to break one of the forbidden laws of the Pentagon grounds: no photography.

Unacceptable Conversation of the Day

Friday, August 22nd, 2008
John: I can’t wait for our Fantasy Football draft tonight!
Marty: Yeah, I know! Did you get that email Pejman sent today? Something about how “Bun will dominate the league”. You guys are nuts!
John: Um, you know who Bun is, right?
Marty: I never know what you guys are talking about.
John: No, dad, do you really not know who Bun is?
Marty: Nope.
John: You are telling me that you do not know that Brandon is Bun?
Marty: I’ve never heard that before!
John: Dad, we’ve been calling him that since 1992! I’ve written dozens of Journal entries about Bun that you have read and discussed with me.
Marty: I don’t know. I never know what you guys are talking about.
John: Now, you’re just repeating things you said earlier.
Marty: I don’t know…
John: ….
Marty: ….

Unacceptable.
