Political

I watched the debates. What more is there to say than that’s an hour and a half of my life I can’t get back and I should have been programming or standing on my head or something other than watching Bush declare his failed “No child left behind” program a success and Kerry try to back pedal from many missed Senate meetings/votes.

I think Kerry stood more presidential. I think Bush still comes across comical and shifty.

Progress!

I’ve been working on code all day but slipping in some of the other necessities for sanity. Since I won’t be able to drive the soccer team tonight, the punctured tire had to be fixed. I ahve been unable to locate my rasp or glue for the past week and a half and finally remembered to buy one.

The tire is fixed! (at least the plug is in…we are pressure testing now).

The dryer is further dismantled.

So blurry!

My ability to focus on my work is being severely hampered (laundry pun) by my desire to work on the dryer!

I have decided to spend $25 more on the repair and replace all wheels and belts. Between the new wheels, belts and motor, this dryer should effective perform like a refurb and last several more years.

I need a full afternoon to complete the work plus an hour to go buy parts.

Superman has died

Christopher Reeve Dies

In the last week Reeve had developed a serious systemic infection from a pressure wound, a common complication for people living with paralysis. … then fell into a coma and died Sunday at a hospital surrounded by his family, his publicist said. He was 52.
I was really hoping he’d beat this. I know. Unrealistic. The progress he’d made was incredible. He really was Superman (amz).
