    Floor Vote

    July 28, 2009 - By 

    All in favor of a late lunch break… Motion is carried by unanimous voice vote. Didn’t make as much progress today and after lunch and whingeing will have to stop early to bundle up old carpet and tack strips safely for disposal tomorrow. Ginny I can has iPhone?

    Palin’s farewell as poetry, as performed by the master of the pregnant pause, @WilliamShatner. Shatner Reads Palin As Poetry [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/JCdqRbWYWbU" width="425" height="344" wmode="transparent" /] I was just looking for a good play on “iambic pentameter,” but was reminded of a better, deeper meaning that explains much of Sarah Palin’s behavior, and that of her supporters, Rich Lowry and the Starbursters. All this is probably part of some grand, incoherent plan for 2012, as hinted back in October 2008. Check it out (emphasis added in bold): The Limbic System (Paleomammalian brain). In 1952 MacLean first coined the name “limbic system”…

    Underlayment

    July 27, 2009 - By 

    Yeah, we should have started at the door and we’ll have to piece the last half roll. But we’re done for the day, and on pace for putting down the flooring tomorrow. Which is kind of a first for us. Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Underlayment By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 27 Jul ’09, 5.16pm CDT PST

    Back To Hell | And So It Begins

    July 26, 2009 - By 

    Tomorrow at 9am, the guy comes to install the ceiling fans in the two “guest” bedrooms. Here’s the pictorial story so far: We load up on a thousand dollars’ worth of flooring, the same color and brand of “lock & fold” engineered stuff that finally saved the day on the original Floor Project from Hell. This time, we’ve also bought the pine quarter round, and bought an undercut saw, because last time we learned that the pre-finished quarter round that’s part of the flooring system was made of some kind of densely impenetrable wood that our pneumatic brad nailer couldn’t…

    Back to Hell: Progress Report

    July 26, 2009 - By 

    We cleared out the guest bedroom, as Monday the ceiling fan gets installed, and after that we rip up the horrid blue carpet and start on the floor project. The smallest bedroom has stuff stacked along the walls but the center is clear so a ceiling fan gets installed in there, too. Ginny I can has iPhone?

    Why it’s important that parents of gay children love and accept them just as they are, and why Utah is a deeply strange place: A Gift, from the Homophobic Culture « One Utah When we watch the LDS church claim they aren’t homophobic, and that common ground can be reached, even while they destroy bills that would help reach that ground, we are just watching a big, none too subtle, wink and nod at the culture of hate. When we see the single largest cultural influence in Utah raise money to take rights away from people based on beliefs they…
