I realized while at BTC this afternoon just how much I miss hearing church bells toll the hours ( Yes, I know it's a recording in Bellevue, but I grew up with several sets of actual bells). Before moving to Factoria, I can't recall not having them within earshot.

I also came to notice that I'm constantly amused by personal mythologies. In no part due to being the target of quite a few. What are some of the mythologies you/your social group(s) engage in/recognize?

Also, allergy season has been MILD this year thus far I'm mostly just slightly congested, not dying. I'm not diabetic (I'd peak at 200ish, and wake in the 80s when I was being realllly careful about sugars.) I might be RIDICULOUSLY pre pre pre diabetic but the numbers, considering what else my body does to everything I put in it, aren't out of range for someone who's led a soda fueled 3 decades and a body that tolerates it well. I got new boots, with the proper height lift, so my hips should realign. I found a guy in Edmonds that's also into the crazy sculpting/casting/molding fun. Halloween should be rad as hell this year.

Work remains awesome, and I'm only a few months behind financially, mostly due to other folk being douches. The roof gets replaced soon, and I'm likely to install a solar hot water preheater on it, and a panel or two for feeding a battery array so I can experiment with lighting my room on LEDs alone. If it works ok, I'll convert the entire upstairs to the system. Joule thieves and other fun to keep it low on the power needings.

So many projects this year. Lawdy. Oh, and our master bedroom is available now, if there are any sane employed people left needing a place.
