The contractors have finally put down the grass seed. Woot!
The below linked story is just one example of the unseen dangers of confined spaces.
Gas leak kills 3 workers at Port Everglades – 05/21/2008 – MiamiHerald.com
It is possible that the folks at Dirty Jobs do test for such hazards, and just don’t include the testing in the aired shows, but it would make me worry less if they showed the testing (or at least let us know that they did).
And for Pete’s sake Mike, wear safety glasses more often!
My usual dinner buddies can’t make it tonight. I’m going to reserve a table for myself, but that table currently has 3 empty chairs. Anybody want to co-reserve? I was going to reserve for 7:45pm so I can get seated and started before the action starts. Email to jacqueline at cordelya dot net, if you please.
Since I didn’t live on site at my house last year, my garden went to the dogs weeds. I started cleaning it up today, but I was wondering about the identity of many of the uninvited residents. So, I went around and took a whole bunch of pictures of the various plants, and posted them to Flickr.
If you’ve been fighting the war against weeds for a while (or not) and you know the names of common mid-atlantic weeds, would you kindly take a look at the photos and see if you can identify any of my weeds?
Having received our tax pre-bate, Dirksharpe and I are registered for Pennsic 37! We’ve done the Pennsic pre-registration shuffle, ~and~ paid our camp fees for our camp!
Hooray for not procrastinating!
My debit card was skimmed recently and then used last night and this morning at two gas stations (one near Philly, the other somewhere in CT). I suspect that it was skimmed at the Privateer Festival two weekends ago (April 19th) when Jason and I ate at a restaurant. That was the last time the card was out of my sight, and I’d been trying to eat at home as much as possible prior to that.
So, if you were at the Privateer Festival, and you ate at a restaurant, keep an eye on your recent transactions for suspect items. If you end up finding some, don’t forget to file police reports – one with the police where you live, and one with Baltimore City Police.
And no worries, I’ve got my checklist and I’m following it!
multitude of hats
seven extra sleepers, and
food left over
As you may remember, this weekend is Open House at my place. We have some last minute items to reveal.
We’ve also heard that there will be taco salad
So far, we’ve only heard from two people about crash space. If you think you’ll need to stay over, please let us know!
Don’t forget your funny hat!
