Each time I read an entry from his diaries, I feel him standing over me, reciting [...] By Plum Dumb at 2010-02-08 20:22 | assassination | corporate mercenary | jeffersonian patriot | miscellaneous | thomas jefferson | full article | read more | 4 reads
Please Tell Me I Didn't Do ThatDid you ever hit that "send" button and then think, oh crap, oh no, please tell me I didn't just send that? Did you ever do that three times in a ROW?I'm sparing the details, both because what's left of my ego can't handle to have this incident immortalized and because the details are boring. Let's just say that I sent several versions of something that had teeny tiny mistakes in it. Mistakes that were sent to someone very important. Mistakes that I would think "What the hell is wrong with that girl?" if I was on the receiving end. Mistakes that would never exist period if I hadn't been trying to work while still sick and while 2 other people were in my office asking me questions. Mistakes---okay you get it. Updike on AlterShaw points us to this 2004 review of Alter's translation of the Pentateuch by John Updike. A snip: Seventy-one (71%) Support Freedom of ChoiceChecked the polls on Voices.

I shouldn't hurt so muchI shouldn't hurt so much after this weekend's work, especially because my darling wife did more of the work than I did.We worked in the attic all weekend, with the goal of rerouting the air conditioning return ducts so that they work more effectively. At the end of the house that is farthest from the air handler, the pressure is quite low. The electric company ran some tests and said that low output pressure is partly due to lousy return pressure. The returns leak like a sieve, because the tape that holds the joints together is falling apart, and also because the return "ducts" in the walls are just the space between the studs - there is no actual tube or ductwork. It's merely a vertical shaft formed by wood studs sandwiched between sheets of drywall. The Census is coming!Forms for the 2010 United States Census will be delivered in March. It’s important to return your form because being counted means more federal funds for projects and services in your area, and also counts towards Congressional representation.
