Hahaha no I definitely meant 100% but now I’m laughing too.

Septic engineer is here this morning digging here and there and talking about newfangled systems they use now. He's cool. I told him my dad was born up here over 100 years ago and doing things right was important to me. He's clearly and environmental kind of guy so we'll work together well. You can't replace or move or anything to the systems without an engineering study in the Adirondack park.

I have to say, the video of Josh Hawley running away, and the internet's meme-ifying of it, is making me smile this morning.

I haven't seen them yet, but the notion of how pissed the former occupant must have been seeing his speech outtakes makes me smile. I really hope we see indictments sooner rather than later.

Well, DH made a deal on the apartment for the next year so we can put aside the boat and/or house purchase project for a while. The market is just too nuts. Anyway, this is the place. (listing from when it was for sale at some point in time) It is just a block from the beach on A1A, 5th floor with huge balconies, like plenty of room to work and eat outdoors. Glad to have this off the list for a bit, and happy to get poor Brendon out of his brother's spare room. It would be fine if it was just the guys being all bachelor pad zone, but SIL has a serious cleaning phobia thing going on that is pretty stressful. So linky - [link]

That seemed pretty devastating given the current GOP base.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad y'all have a place to live, Laura! And time to find the right boat or house or whatever.

Yay having a place to live Laura!

I have to go look up this video of him running away. I did see someone post a pic of a mug from him and said it needs a lid for when you’re running.

Also, apparently my dad lost his hearing yesterday??? My mother emailed us (my siblings and my dad’s) to say he’s suddenly gone deaf. He already only had one working ear (the other he lost the hearing in decades ago) and only has one eye. And then he woke up and now can’t hear at all??? They’re trying steroids but yikes. His remaining eye isn’t so great either!!

Oh, that sounds rough on your dad, meara! I'm sorry he has to deal with that.

Oh dear, meara. I hope they are able to resolve it. What a surprise.
