I got this beautiful piece of furniture recently and I'm absolutely loving it. It's from the 60's. I got it dirt cheap too and could easily sell it for double the price I bought it for, but I'm never selling this one.

what's in it?

Nothing yet, but I'm sure it will be full of stuff very soon.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There is a diver in our pool now for the fourth time trying to find a leak. Fingers crossed he finds it.

How often do you switch up your pattern?

Same. Our yard consists of two big rectangle, so I alternate between mowing the long way and then diagonals in both directions.

I've never braved the diagonals. I'll go either north-south or east-west.

Today I conducted an unintentional experiment when some of the grass got too tall for the low blade setting I usually use. I left a six-inch line unmowed to mark my place, and then raised the blade one notch for everything to the left of that line.

I couldn't really tell a difference between the two cuts afterwards, but still ended up evening it all out.

You guys ever do the outside to inside square?

I tried that once but it got a little overwhelming the closer I got to the center.

[E.H. Ruddock]
