Neverending Battle of Home Improvements

Often times people display a startling lack of intellectual curiosity. I am as guilty of this as anyone else.
The facts before us:
1)Our hot water heater has serious trouble generating hot water in the winter.
2)The vent in the living room between the sofas blows cold air in the winter.
3)A few, er, mice found their way into our house this spring.

These things are all related, but it took #3 for us to actually tie them together.

A detailed search in the back recesses of our basement where we seldom venture led to a curious discovery. The window back there was missing half the pane of glass. Lest you think we’re incredibly stupid, there was something else in it’s place – the previous owner had set up some venting tube for doing wood working ventilation.

Western Vacation

Our vacation out west photos are now up here.

I may try and turn some of the shots I took into panoramas. If that’s successful, those photos will go up there as well.

High Water Photos

A few weeks ago, I took some photos around Monona Bay of the high water. I put some of the best up here.

Missing Books :(

It came to my attention late last night that we’re missing 2 books from our little library. We have the distinct feeling that we may have loaned them out to someone at sometime, but don’t know who or when.
So here are the books:
London
Russka
both paperback, in the 1000 page range, and by Edward Rutherford.
If you happen to have then, we don’t need them back immediately, but would like to know where they actually are. If no one has them, well then we’ll have to buy new copies.
