Update 1215: The drier’s connected, and I don’t smell any gas leaks. That took quite a bit longer than I figured, plus I still need someone skinnier than me to help finish duct-taping the vent ducts together, but it ought to at least work. First load of laundry is just about to hit it. Wish me luck.
Light on the notes today. I’m still trying to get some stuff done around the house, and so far I’m batting .000 on finding a handyman who is available and will actually return my phone calls. Suggestions are still welcome.
- There was a radio Interview with Jim about the One Day in July street party he's been organizing on KFAI. It aired yesterday at 11 AM, but you can still catch it in the KFAI Archives. Just scroll down to “Catalyst” and stream the most recent show. [jim]
- Yesterday, Minnesota’s gun permit law shot down in Ramsey County Court. That means that until something else happens, Minnesota will revert to the old system where local sheriffs have discretion whether to issue a permit or not. Expect another battle in the legislature over this one. There’s more in the PiPress article: Handgun law thrown out.
- Monica ponders the source of the Unwellspring that she sees in the U.K. I find myself wondering if perhaps she saved the world there, maybe one of the handymen I’ve called this week would actually return my call. Yesterday I got all the parts I needed to hook up my drier, and I’m going to attack that after breakfast this morning. If you don’t see a posting tomorrow, maybe I’ll have blown myself up. At least that would make the to-do list shorter….
