For that matter, so am I! I've been saying for years that they were overbuilding and overselling housing. Makes you wonder how much the experts really know, no? Why is it you always seem to post "I just got back from the Tri-Cities" rather than "I'll be in the Tri-Cities for the next few days"? Holy Cow, you’re alive! For that matter, so am I!

Re: mom: There was a trench dug out to the door. Re: Krunk: Someone on MetaFilter recommended OneNote, but I thought TiddlyWiki would be easier for going back and forth from my desktop to my notebook (which I do a lot since I travel to the Tri-Cities about 5 days a month). Nothing to install; just a <1 MB file to Gmail to myself. And yeah, that master bedroom door is oddly placed. 'Course, it's hard to put it anywhere else without making things weirder (like, you could put the two smaller bedrooms over there, but that'd be even less convenient). Re: Chuk: Yeah, something I discovered about the Kindle is that it tends to screw up tables. And John Hodgman loves him some tables. Vancouver's crazy. Re: Logan: This from the guy that chugs Mountain Dew with his hotdogs? :P Re: Tim: Aw, thanks! Re: Amy: I think it's bursting in the Tri-Cities too. Kennewick and Richland are offering grants to new home buyers (matching their down payments sometimes) and there's a lot of newer homes near Rd. 100 being sold. And interest rates have been around 5.3-5.5%, so that's good. I'll post a Kindle pic shortly. :) Wow, I’m getting lazy.

Should we have red wine or white wine tonight? Neither! Tooth decay! I like how the fanciest meal is topped with Coca Cola. Should we have red wine or white wine tonight? Neither! Tooth decay!
