October 26, 2007War of the Worlds
Last winter, we installed a new hot water heater. Torn between a duplicate of the one I was replacing – that only lasted twenty years – or a new technology, save-the-environment-along-with-the-whales type, I chose the latter.
Mostly, my choice was dictated by it being short and plump, instead of tall and thin [...]

Back in the News
October 12, 2007Yesterday, I took the forks off our spare bike and we shipped them to Daytona to be rebuilt with race springs and valves, as Brett has never been happy with the way our #76 bike’s forks were setup by an unnamed but well known company – they kept cutting the springs off and we need [...]
When the Sheet Hits the Fan
October 8, 2007Nan returned from her latest Chicago business trip with a set of 1000-thread count cotton sheets that she found on sale. Nice white sheets with a 3-inch lace trim at the top.
Setting the stage for our first experience with these new sheets:
(a) Nan had an appointment with her allergist who prescribed a new inhaler so [...]
