My News Is The Best News


So our carpenter came Monday, finished the demolition the Wifey and I had started, and then worked in the rain ALL DAY yesterday. You can see he fixed the hole in the house, but also he re-configured our deck. You can kind of see it here, how the thing is cut off at an angel rather than wrapping around the corner of the house. He also essentially re-built the deck, replacing all the deck boards and doubling up the 8x8's on the suspension band, and replacing the railing boards and tops wholesale (which was great as one of the old ones was severely snaggle-toothed).

So this is good news. I guess the elections results are good too, since it looks like the Dems will wrest control of the legislature from the GOP's, which, feh. I can't get all that excited about it yet. We might come back from deficit. Social programs might get fatter. Meh. I never use any of that stuff anyways. Rumsfeld is being replaced. Fug. Bush will just find some other schmuck to tell us everything will be fine, so long as we got our boys and girls out there shoving the Iraqis around. Some years back, Doc Nagel included, as a capper to a series of satiric "articles" on the presidential campaign, a bit entitled "White Guy Wins Election." Had he done the same kind of thing this year, I would have suggetsed he just run the exact same bit as the capper. Cause it's true, doubly so since Pelosi won.
