I can hear the sellers/designers screaming now as I probably rip out the brand new granite/marble counters they put in. I hate the new stuff.
I love new kitchens, but I also like a balance, especially if it's in a distinctively vintage house. Nothing makes me twitch more than an exquisite vintage house that looks like an industrial loft on the inside. One of the houses we looked at in Seattle is a classic Mid-century Modern (1961, I think) but the kitchen had last been redone in the mid-80s and seriously looked it. That's one I'd love to go into and redo with the new appliances that have the retro exteriors.
Hey, do Muni buses and streetcars take dollar bills?

Hey, do Muni buses and streetcars take dollar bills?
Yes, they do. But you still need to get change inside the stations.
I love new appliances, but I've seen too many "luxury" apartments showing off brand-new kitchens that look like they've been lifted straight out of the IKEA catalog.
Hey, do Muni buses and streetcars take dollar bills?
Oh, it's not a streetcar, it's a METRO. Appaaaaarently.
Damn, megan is not here for me to roll my eyes at her.
Looking at DH's pictures from Vancouver, I think we might have to move there. It's just so damn pretty!
It is! And we've had a pretty great summer and glorious fall, weather wise. When the winter rains come, I'm going to be cranky.
Paul Broun: Pelosi Is A Domestic Enemy Of The Constitution
At a town hall in Commerce, Ga., last week, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a "domestic enem[y] of the Constitution."
"When I was sworn into the Marine Corps, I was sworn to uphold the Constitution against every enemy, foreign and domestic," he said. "We've got a lot of domestic enemies of the Constitution and one of those sits in the speaker's chair of the United States Congress, Nancy Pelosi."
Wouldn't it be cool if our government had a Judicial branch that was independent of the legistlative and Executive branches and that could issue rulings if things were unconstitutional or not?
That's my congressman! I am so proud. He also wants to allow hunters to legally import polar bear trophies: [link]
