Best Election Blog Post to date

I just found what I consider to be the best election blog post to date. Regardless of your affiliation, you should enjoy this one:

Say Something Nice About the Candidate You Don't Support

The author is spot on. It brightens your day a bit to look on the positive side of someone, even if you do disagree with them.

Conflicted

I don't know if this is a good thing or bad, but Valparaiso is the top headline right now on Fark.

My opponents suturing skills suck!

Did you know that coroners are elected officials? I didn't. I figured that a qualified medical professional would be interviewed and hired. Instead, I'm seeing re-election signs for a coroner. Re-election? Is he worried? What exactly are the campaign offices of a coroner supposed to do? I can see it now:

*sinister voice*Dan Reed says you can trust him as your coroner, but can you really? The truth is Dan Reed prefers butterfly sutures, just like Osama bin Laden. We can't afford a coroner that irresponsible with suturing. This November, vote Eddie Brown for coroner. He will treat his subjects with the care they deserve. He uses a patriotic (whatever the hell is different from a butterfly suture) suture.

I'm Eddie Brown and I approve this message.

Home Ownership with all it's suckitude

A while ago, we noticed the basement seemed a little more damp than usual. Then, water stains started appearing on the baseboards in my office. This is one of those things you just don't want to know. If you investigate, you know it's going to cost some mucho dinero. Finally, though, we felt we had to get to the bottom of it.

In my office is a gorgeous wood shelf that was placed inside an alcove. Well, there WAS a shelf. I had to rip it out piece by piece since that seemed to be the focal point of the water stains. Once that was done, we had someone stop by to give us an estimate. After looking at my demolition work, he thought there might not be a crack in the foundation at all, it might be coming over the top of the wall somehow. Oh how I hoepd he was right. Alas, no. Today's rains showed water emanating from a hole in the middle of the wall. One leak found.

While looking outside, I noticed another crack in the foundation that seemed significant. Its location could not be worse. 1 foot to the left and it's in the unfinished basement. 1 foot to the right and it's accessible by a drop ceiling. Unfortunately, it's right where our ceiling had to be built around an I-Beam. So, more demolition for me as soon as I figure out how to put the computers somewhere functional. I'm not going to live without my computers damnit!

And we're back

Two weeks! That's how long my blog was out of service. At best, I could get blogger to post in one of my feeds, but the main page was never updated. There are a lot of updates to talk about, but I need to earn my paycheck now.

It's apparently easy being me

There are 7,404 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

*sniff* and here I thought I was special.

Depression sets in

The city is awash in depression. The Cubs better pick it up or there is going to be mass suicide.
