alas, C's illness was not food induced. i got to #66 last night before things started to go hideously wrong. no vile details will be listed here, except to say that i'm still working to keep down water :(

Controlled Demolition

i'm absorbing a lot of daytime tv. fortunately my favorite show on the History Channel, Modern Marvels, ran in a bloc, followed by a two-hour show called "Wrecking Ball" hosted by Alice Cooper. it includes a long feature on Controlled Demolition International. i've loved seeing the Loizeaux family destroying buildings over the years - generation three is all women, and they've been in charge of spectacular high-visibility events and are the pick for jobs in dense urban settings.
