It was all over the news yesterday that WE’RE KILLING OUR BABIES WITH SHAMPOO! Chemical leach through their precious skin and melt their reproductive organs. It’s the end of the world. It will be just like that movie Children of Men and it’s all due to us and our fascination with… AHHHHH! Take a deep breath. Calm down.

Apparently the fans blew the breaker last night. We were a little drier this morning, but “powerless” to do anything when we got to work…. sigh…
