The saga continues

The framing, wiring, blocking and plumbing are all ruffed in. We are now about to finish the drywall & the cabinets are due to begin installing this Wednesday.

new house

I've concluced my neighbor is off the res.

I've never been so enthralled (by such a mediocre candidate) to spend my hard earned money to get my vehicle customized. But then again, I've never wanted to paint my truck like a Louis Vuitton handbag. So maybe it's me.

This man was/is a hero. And Although he lived though moral difficult deeds, he behaved with honer and morality.

New Experiments in Hair

Airline Prices

So, I'm in the Houston airport yesterday eating at Papadieux on my layover, when I end up seated next to this character.

Aside from claiming to be a pediatrician and to having been on Jeopardy in 1968 with Art Flemming he turned out to be a very interesting guy. So, aside from the first two singularities, he also had a package of deli meat, 1/2 pound roast beef, from Von's that he was sneaking from under the table while the waitor wasn't looking.

Now I know that 5.95 for a bowl of gumbo is sick but I've never seen anyone carry warm meat in to a restaurant and start chowing down. Even more amazing was that he asked for condiments in the form of horseradish and two types of mustard to garnish his clandestine meal. He had already eaten the 1/2 pound of cheese before he sat down, presumably on a connecting flight.
