I am somewhat surprised that there has been no mention of the disaster that is unfolding right now in China. They have received two years worth of rain, in just two days. The worst flooding in the recorded history of China. Entire villages and towns downstream from Beijing have been washed away, due to all the flood gates being opened in order to try to spare Beijing. There is no way to accurately assess the loss of life, but based on the video footage I have seen, it could potentially be in the millions. Water is overflowing the 3 Gorges Dam. The destruction of infrastructure, crops and homes, is absolutely devastating. This is going to have a fatal impact upon China's economy, and will have a ripple effect on economies around the world. There is a virtual media blackout concerning this biblical disaster. I wept as I watched this tragedy destroying the lives and property of so many. We are powerless in the face of Nature's whims. Although the Chinese government has tried to block the release of any video of this horror, there are plenty of them on YouTube. Watch the Water. Pray for the people of China.

Pretty good actually. Lady friend is new to this stuff but has natural ability. With the small hole punch (heavy/precision, basically a laser gun) she is really tight - and this is her second time with it. First time with the same size punch but 3x the speed, she did ok for sure but will need to get used to it.
I told her, I bet as a kid in Vietnam (she escaped ~1985 on a boat) she never would be using a military-grade hole punch.
We cut it slightly short as a storm with c-g lightning was uncomfortably close just to the north, but it was a good day for sure. When we left I turned around and said "LET FREEDOM RING!" to some "hell yeahs" and then "AND GOD BLESS DONALD J TRUMP!!!" which really got a response.
So to answer your second question, very well indeed! A great day.
