nuttin' big

After a party like Friday, it's pretty hard to have much to write about, but I'll try. We did have a great picture.

The weekend brought about the same types of interesting people as always appear when the weather gets nice. Somehow, when you think you've seen it all you find that there is always something more. Saturday was our example of just that: after watching a minivan pull up quickly in front of my house and a man call for the "yellow n--- over there" to come to his car. I quickly reacted by trying to memorize everything about his face and the car, then grabbed the phone, primed to call the police. The men ended up talking and a few hours later, a van (maybe the same one, not sure) showed up, parked in front of our place again and began to sell shoes out of the back hatch. Some things you can't make up. This would be one of those things.
The house stuff is coming along well. We had the inspection and so far will request they do a radon mitigation and replace an outlet on the front porch. That's it. I think we can handle that. The j-o-b is still in the works, but I am hopeful it will all come to a very happy ending in the next few weeks.
