Interneted again
My appointment with the Comcast installation guy was to be between 9 and 11. I have just got the internet setup (at a quarter to two). I wasn’t planning on taking today off but what can you do. Sigh. As I’ve never actually had a cable appointment that happened when it was supposed is a sign that Comcast should hire more install techs. They just seem over worked.
On a side note, I read the Communist Manefesto last yesterday (being Labor day and all). Perhaps, I write something about it. Perhaps not.
Anyway, I, and most likely the Scientist, will be posting more often now.
Welcome back.
We had a quiet weekend. Tom & Kathleen stopped in for a few hours today on their way from Vermont to Florida. Travelling in their motor home at 8-10 mpg towing an Escalade. Their carbon footprint is rather high to say the least. Its interesting how you can spend your money when you have significant disposable amounts of income. There son (your cousin) Tom is back in school in a pre-med program and is apparently on tract (grades) to go on to medical school next year.
Jane’s new quarters are under construction. The new floor is in the old garage the bathroom installation is under way. I don’t have a completion date yet.
We went kayaking Monday at Elm Brook. It was actually very nice. Quiet, the few power boats were going slow on electric motors outside the main open water. There was three main routes and we were only able to do one this time.
Tom parked the beast at the mall and we picked them up at lunch. Weird year, the mall was busier today than over the weekend. Another odd occurance is the severe drought they are having in Seattle. Rain fall at 4% of normal in the last 30 days. Seattle? My experience living in the northwest was one two days with out rain is a rare event.

Good for Tommy (though why you’d want to poke around inside of someone is beyond me).
It looks like the scientist’s parents may end up getting an RV (though nothing as big as Tom’s). I’m not a huge fan of the things. I hate driving and like not having to clean up after myself so I prefer to stay in hotels.

I was going to leave a counter-taunt, but I just don’t have the energy. INSTEAD, I reserve the right to taunt you at a later date. Or maybe not. I will probably forget, and then taunt for an unrelated reason, and lose this taunt forever. Or something. What the hell, you missed on a lot of fun in ATL, in fact, SO MUCH fun, that we didn’t have time to docu-blog every 10 minutes. Good Times.

I know I missed much fun. I also missed much fun in Seattle but we were buy a condo and moving so not much could be done about it. You should come up sometime and visit… there wont be as much (any) malt liquor though.
