Construction here continues. They have now almost finished the roof over the patio, and have the garage doors mostly boarded up, and added the entry door in the garage. They also painted the shutters today, but it turned out to be the wrong color, so tomorrow they are going to redo them with the right color (hopefully...) Tomorrow they should install the new front door, and next week they are going to do the windows and get everything finished up. Today they also put a new roof up, but all that banging around on the roof must have knocked a wire loose in the office fan, because now that light either doesn't turn on or flickers... sounds familiar :(. Luckily the problem seems to be isolated to the light kit on the fan, because the fan blades still turn fine, and nothing else on the circuit is having problems (at least, nothing we have noticed). I hope it is easily fixed, and I hope it doesn't cause any problems in the future... Anyway, here are several quotes for you to ponder until next time!
QOTD#1:
A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected: a half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb. can of coffee, and a 1 lb. package of bacon. As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single." The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status. Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?" The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."
QOTD#2:
Nora: Oh, I love sheep! They're so soft.
Christine: That's why they make them into clothing.
QOTD#3
We set up the laptop for his account, and he took it and went home. Less than an hour later, he called. He had changed his access phone number, his primary DNS number, his WINS numbers (which we don't even use), his password, his email server names, and his email address, and had put a password on the laptop that he did not remember.
