Tuesday
As mentioned in last night’s post, today was ‘s birthday.

To celebrate, she took the day off and slept in. I, on the other hand, went to an interview. It went well and I should hear back this week… but I’m still keeping my options open. If nothing else, this would be a good part-time gig.

We went out to lunch and ran into one of the technicians from the REC. He took the day off because he has many, MANY hours of leave to use before he retires. 1400, to be exact. Use ’em or lose ’em. So, he’s using them like He told us a little about some of the growth that they are expecting.

We came home for a bit and then went back out to see Collateral. A good movie, it was a definite departure for both Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. I may have to look for this on DVD, when it’s released. (Speaking of releases: Aladdin comes out on 05 Oct 04. Hoo-AH!) We dropped in on for an impromptu post-movie visit.

  • I don’t care how effective they are in arid climates: Swamp coolers of of the devil. Especially when the weather turns cool/cold. Why? Because they basically leave a giant, gaping hole in your roof through which the cold air can invade your home.

    Unless you stuff padding and pillows in the vent.

    Whose brainskid was this idea?! “We’ll keep the cold out with… pads! Yes! Pads! And pillows! Too right!” *boggle* That’s… great. But air can still get around those, through the louvers and… once again… INTO THE HOUSE!!!

    *sigh*

    I have an idea to effectively seal the Ark of the Covenant in an underground temple seal the vent. Solidly. And in a manner that’s easily removable, when necessary. All I need to do is to visit the local Home Depot or Lowes…

Before my brain completely wraps its way around the thoughts of a trip to the local home improvement store, I should call it a night.

Namaste.
