Abigail's notebookTuesday. Orbit.

The Ring Station's got a rule, and the people who still live here will tell you it at the airlock. You say sorry before you touch a console. It started when he came home. So everybody goes around saying it, "Sorry, sorry," patting at the machinery. I watched a Marl technician apologize to a light switch. It's very funny. I wrote this down in the airlock because it's very funny.
