Where were you when Harry Reid closed the Senate yesterday?

[sasquatch]

Me, I was on my way to work listening to our local AAR affiliate(1530-WCKY) and at about 3:30 pm Ed Shultz came on the air and announced the move made by Reid. I about wrecked my fucking truck from the combination of shock and joy that overwhelmed me in that moment.

1. At the gym.

Biking 16+ miles.

Let me tell you, it made the experience a lot more enjoyable. :)

[sasquatch]

I bet it felt like you were pedaling on air

[deadparrot]

6. Absolutely.

Definitely brought about a second wind. :)

2. I was sitting at my desk listening to CSPAN!

I almost fell off my chair! I was so excited but I couldn't say anything to anyone. I had to wait unitl I saw Mr. CB at home to discuss the event!

readying DU

;-)

[meegbear]

4. Away from the PC in my boss' office ....

had DU open and did a refresh - immediately displayed level 3. I took that as a cue something was up and hit the news sites.

It turned into quite a pleasant endeavor. Our garage hasn't been so clean in a long time.

[sasquatch]

[sasquatch]

16. That's long and teedious work

[halobeam]

25. yeah... it took about five hours.

my arm is killing me, still! Well, I can now say I've done that in my life, and I can also say, NEVER AGAIN.

Once I finished, I checked DU and couldn't believe what was going on in the senate! Happily surprised.

[Demobrat]

15. At work - stuck in a meeting -

completely unable to concentrate and DYING to get in front of a TV. I'm on the west coast. Sometimes the time difference really blows!

[sasquatch]

17. Yeah, doncing on the meeting table would have been taboo

:D

[Child_Of_Isis]

18. I had been watching C-span

but then left the room to do something about 2 minutes before it happened. I stopped to check DU on my way to continue watching the proceedings and all hell had broken loose. Believe it or not, that is how I exist. DU, run to TV, back to DU, back to tele. DU lets me know who I should be watching and when.......DU is the most "on the spot happening place" that EXISTS!!!!!!!!!



I LOVE DU!

[sasquatch]

22. I always look to see what level we're on

If we're on three, break out the old football equipment and fight for space.

[Child_Of_Isis]

[Lydia Leftcoast]

23. Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, I think

I left Kansai International Airport outside of Osaka, Japan at about 4:30AM Central Time (7:30 PM Japan Standard Time), November 1, and didn't see a newspaper or hear a newscast till today.

[FreedomAngel82]

24. I was here at home watching it happen

I was so proud!

[sasquatch]

26. Sounds like you were lucky

[Gregorian]

27. Glued to DU

Hopelessly, like an addict, I flailed between internet and tv. I EVEN watched CNN, again. That's twice in 20 years. I don't think I can do it again. This political excitement isn't good for my health. It's great!

[sasquatch]

28. Yeah, if this keeps up we'll need to start seeing Cheney's doctor

[last_texas_dem]

30. Asleep

My nights and days have gotten reversed lately. But I had left "Headline News" on when I fell asleep earlier and heard about it as soon as I woke up. It was great!

[sasquatch]

31. That's a helluva way to wake up

[madokie]

32. I was trimming the windows in our new computer room.

I'm walking through the front room when I have to take a double take, couldn't believe it.

[trackfan]

33. I was in the Lounge and noticed we were at Level 3

so I looked back at GD and LBN to see what was going on.
