My deepest apologies to Kevin on that last post

I now know why Tripod offers me hot pictures of Leah Remini when I hit his klund.tripod page.  All I can say is that Tripod really has a contextual problem.

Poor Poor Mean Mr. Mustard

Not only does Mean Mr. Mustard have to deal with G.W. pretending the RNC is a Sunday service, but then he has to face the fact that his President has also latched onto the Beatles' image and absconded with the cover to Abbey Road.





Poor Poor Mean Mr. Mustard - as if trying to get CDFFL done weren't bad enough.

Speaking of which, Kevin, why does the 2001 CDFFL recap offer me hot pictures of Leah Remini - not that I mind, I'm just not sure what it has to do with CDFFL and Brad Zilge.

Eagan bumper stickers, the evening edition

Nothing – not even at Home Depot – you’d think I’d at least see a G.W. sticker there.  Only thing I saw all day was a “Vote for the Environment” sticker, which I assume indicates some support for Kerry, but maybe it’s just a way of saying “Vote for the Environment, It’s Where Our $1.00 a Gallon Gas Is” – you can’t really say one way or another.

I.M. Handy

That's right, I can create! Doesn't matter that it's as simple as poor man's golf and it doesn't matter that it was more difficult to run four ten foot poles of 3/4" PVC past the auto checkout lane at Home Depot than it was to build the thing and it doesn't matter that I have 50' extra feet of nylon rope and PVC cleaner and glue that I didn't use - I built it. Not only that, I built two, just so I can give my friend Dan one now that he's cleaned half his garage so he can put his dead Porche on one side to work on.

This Morning's Bumper Sticker Count

0 - across the board! I saw the same three Kerry Edwards signs (not including mine) on the way to work, but no bumper stickers whatsoever. No Kerry-Edwards, No W'04. The only thing I can assume is that my company's back lot is apolitical because there are quite a few stickers in the front lot. Actually, Mean Mr. Mustard (http://mmmustard.blogspot.com) lives in the back lot and has a No War in Iraq sticker, so it isn't entirely apolitical, but I know him and avoided walking by his "car" so I didn't have to worry about the logistics of counting him in any capacity.

As part of my daily count, I have decided that I shall also include what percent of W'04 stickers I see are accompanied by a Jesus Fish (in the interest of fairness, I'll include Kerry Edwards stickers next to Jesus Fish as well, but I expect to see far fewer). I could also check how many bumper stickers are accompanied by rainbow stickers as a corollary.

Sometimes Reading Fark is a bad idea

Because you feel compelled to listen to things like this.

Ode to my Road Rash Saved Game

I thought I would teach my daughter to play,

Simpson’s Road Rash on the Playstation today

Eryn punched all the buttons and knobs for fun,

And erased my game so fast I was stunned,

So I’m in search of a cheat, ok…

I smell good

Don’t believe me?  Scratch and sniff. Trust me.  I did learn today, while taking Eryn for a walk to the local slide, that teenage girls think Axe smells “cheap” and teenage boys think it must smell good because it’s “kind of expensive”.  The lesson?  Give your daughter’s boyfriend a bottle of Axe for Christmas so she dumps him.

Kerry/Edwards Bumper Stickers - my new hobby

Number of Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers I saw on the way to work today: 3

Number of Kerry/Edwards lawn signs, including my own: 4

Number of W’04 bumper stickers: 0

Number of W’04 lawn signs: 0

However, on Saturday, when I was returning the wallet to the Eagan middle schooler, the house next to his had a list of the 10 commandments in the yard ordering me to not lust – I think if Eryn hadn’t been in the car, I’d have had to do Jen in front of their house.

Baby Mommas in Eagan

I found a wallet in the middle of the road on Saturday while my Dad and I were biking to Perkin’s for breakfast, and I threw it in my bike bag so I could return it later.  I told Jen that it was some middle school kid’s wallet and the only things in it were a picture of what was possibly his girlfriend, his library card and a water safety certificate with his address on it.  She opened it up to look and noticed that on the back of the picture it was signed “from your baby momma” - I thought it was funny, she thought it was disturbing.

I’d like to register my gripe against Perkin’s while I’m at it.  My Dad can’t eat bread products, so he had the eggs, toast and muffin minus the toast and muffin.  He asked for cottage cheese instead and they said “we don’t have that”.  So I recommended perhaps fruit would work – they said sure, didn’t bring him his muffin or toast and charged him $1.00 for a bowl of crappy fruit no bigger than an apple.  He shorted them on the tip but didn’t mention it until later because he though I would disapprove.  I fully approved of shorting her $1.06 + the % on that amount that would have been the tip for that portion.  Some things just aren’t acceptable.

Eryn likes to dance for pie (at the Lanesboro Pie Shop)

Grandpa, Eryn and Daddy Go for a Walk in Lanesboro

Eryn was all about walking last week.

A short lesson in home repair

If you suspect your water heater is leaking and you own central air, check the drainage tube on the furnace/air unit first, particularly if it runs all the way around the edge of the room and it’s been particularly humid.  We came within a few hours of ordering a new water heater installed, only to find out the tube was plugged, the drainage pan was full, and almost 5 gallons of water a day were pouring out of the furnace and onto the floor.

Been a While

While it might look like I’ve posted recently, I notice it’s been about two weeks.  It’s difficult to post while you’re on vacation – I’m not entirely sure how “professional” bloggers do it – lots of wireless and a laptop, I suppose.  I spent a good chunk of last week helping my Dad shingle his cabin – my lines are good, my knowledge is good, my speed is dirt slow – we got about 7 rows put up after over three days of shingling.  We did have to strip the roof right down to the nails they used for putting up the tar paper (ugh), but it still wasn’t very fast.  I also got a nice cut in my arm from one of the metal strips we used for the valleys – left a mark that looks like a bite.  I sort of wish the Garlough Reading Buddies program was going on so I could tell my kid all about the zombie that took a chomp out of me.

 

After shingling, I had two and a half days at Lanesboro with my inlaws – little biking and some shopping and pie shop visiting.  The best thing to come out of Lanesboro is that Jen and I realized Eryn needs a new nap routine – we had one night that required driving to get her to sleep and then she woke up and had a fit later as well.  So now we’re doing the brush the teeth – read a book – lay down and yell for a while, no real getting up, back down for a little longer scenario – seems to be reaping some rewards as she’s already sleeping longer and not getting up at 3:00 a.m.

 

Next post – some nice pictures of us in Lanesboro.

And the Summaries Are...

You can tell where my preferences lie – even with some of the books falling into the Classical and School categories (stuff I read at school – my Master’s at Hamline), Science Fiction and Fantasy is about 4 to 1 over any other category, although the average rating isn’t as high as some other categories.  It was probably that Harry Turtledove book that dragged it downward.

My Book List

This way the Department of Homeland Security and DOJ don’t have to work quite so hard to figure out what I’ve been up to – sure, I might be lying, but only idiots would lie about having read Camille Paglia and Faith Popcorn – note that the ratings were point in time, I’d definitely give Borges a much higher rating now and The Shipping News a slightly lower rating (Borges is better).
