IHB the shelves appear to have come out nicely (or nicely
enough to not require another pass). Up they go at the
next opportunity.

I'm extremely happy because after being in Bulgaria for a week, I finally
figured out that I could buy an internet card and connect from my hotel
room for a very reasonable rate (40 plus hours for about $10). I've been
doing email with my cell phone modem at $1.50/minute for only 9.6K, which is
painfully slow when you know how much it's costing you to download spam.
I'm also happy because I'm doing the best singing of my life, and people
here are effusive in their praise.
On the downside, I'm a little tired of Bulgarian restaurant food.

The Bulgarians have excellent white sheep's cheese, all sorts of fruit juices,
and good bread. Maybe the tomatoes are ripe there now. Why eat in
restaurants?

I got the nicest, loving letter today. I still can't believe I've finally
found someone who treats me so well.

OFGS.
Mom has left the area, after an incredibly successful trip here. We didnt'
kill each other, and when things got a bit tense, we would just start
laughing. Mary, you're right - hanging on loosely is the only way to travel.

IHB weekend at home went reasonably well and I got to see my puppy. He's
getting old, poor guy, but he was *so* happy to see me! Also, just three
more days before I get my boy for the weekend. I thought I'd more or less
adjusted to long-distance once-a-month situation, but the past month has
been especially hard to take.

My jaw was hurting like nobody's business this morning. Dr. Fear's office
told me to just come right in, and they saw me almost right away. Sure
enough, it was dry socket ("it was dry sockets"? "they were dry sockets"?
"them sockets were dry"?), but he applied some sort of magical poultice to
my gums and I feel almost normal again. IHB this all took less than an hour,
and was pretty easy and painless.

IHB the first day of my summer class went well, and I really like my teacher.
We're the same age. :-P

Not fair, Sarah. I am older than most of my instructors.

I'll be off GRex for about a week - about to go to Kongsberg to work the
Jazzfestival there!

I found a home for two of my three rescued kittens, one of which is blind.
I still need a home for the third one, but he is the most 'adoptable,'so
I am hopeful.

Found a new ISP that is MUCH cheaper and offers a little more.

All the grief I went through last night was worth the effort,
and I just got my wall marked for the first shelf to go up
(don't have the proper hardware yet or I'd be drilling away).
Also found a neat article which pointed me to an extremely
cool patent: 2,905,113. I like it when I find something
new about Bucky Fuller.

A plywood dome? I think I must be missing something. What is innovative
about it?

Ah. That's the patent that led to the name buckminsterfullerene:
"buckyfalls".

I was just sitting there, talking on the phone to a friend and
staring out the window at the black sky, and an Iridium flare
happens right in front of my eyes. Neato-keen.
Just happened to have everything I needed to get started with
this idea for a model. Unusual when that happens.

I finished my index page for the NOAA radar loop java applets, and it is
fully functional. It was a bit tricky getting the internal URLs to parse
correctly so all the loops would work correctly no matter whether the
page is on my local machine or served from a remote site.

(At the time, 'twas rather innovative. Who would think that a plywood
structure could stand up to a hurricane as well as, or better, than a concrete
structure? And yet, a plywood geodesic dome has, if I recall correctly.)

Even though I had to leave work yesterday (window replacements in our
building), I had a nummy lunch then and found a neat book on Chinese opera.
And the office is providing lunch today.

On the show, Extreme Homes (HGTV), there was a story about a house in
Minnisota that uses a dome to fend off the winds of Winter. Cool
looking place.
