I have decided to pass on attending the district fair tonight due to potentially resurgent migraine and just a bit too much heat. Tomorrow will be armband day so I'm crossing my fingers that the chance of rain will counterbalance the potential for increased crowds. But even if not, I'll be able to handle them better with no headache and cooler temperatures.

There's a delay for review. I read that the POTUS or governor can pardon him, but can't stay it. A pardon is unlikely.

I'm not sure if this is an innocent man. I don't really have all the evidence.

What Dana said. Also what Matt said, if I must.

I have to say -- I am a new fan of Thomas Gibson after following his tumblr.

I could write that letter IN A HEARTBEAT.

I would make copies and use it all the time.

Jerk: You're wrong, unqualified, Ima gaslight you, and you're ugly.

Me: Here, this is What Scrappy Said.

Jerk: Oh. My apologies.

Me: Yeah. And you can suck it, too.

Everybody needs a letter like that. To show to jerks, and to ourselves when necessary.

That would be awesome.

Met some MORE prospective neighbors tonight and got the skinny on the house: it's a HUD auction, opening to bids tonight! I've talked to probably 5 or 6 different youngish couples since Saturday, and those are just the ones I meet on my way back from the pool or shopping. I have a good feeling about this.

That starting bid is less than the downpayment for my place. I hope it goes to a great young couple, Sara, who can make it their home for years to come.

Everybody needs a letter like that. To show to jerks, and to ourselves when necessary.

YES, YES WE DO.

t having a bad day, can't close that tag

For the record, Allyson is awesome. I often lament that I can's magically appear where she is and take her out for coffee.

I seriously doubt it will go for that little, given the interest it's seen. Even if it were a shell, that's way too low for this particular neighborhood. I've made a point of telling everyone that the house next door will come on the market after being rehabbed by St. Ambrose. Just so that a) they know it won't stay vacant and b) give them another shot later if they are interested.

Hell, I contacted St. Ambrose and let them know that if any prospective buyers wanted to hear about the neighborhood, I'd be happy to talk to them (and gave them a brief rundown of why I'm in love with it.) Head of development wrote me back and told me if I found came across anyone interested, to point them their way and name me as the referrer.

My realtor is teasing me that I've become a pro-bono realtor. Hell yeah, if it fills up the empties with great people!
