Oh

Oh, two! Or O2, which we finally have some of. The snow trickle started early this morning, and did bupkus for several hours, the particulates thickened again, to my dismay. But just a little breeze followed, which was enough to scatter the worst of the aerosolized muddy pollution, so that by afternoon, breathing became a recommended activity again.



We got out to Red Iguana for lunch. I'd been getting in a mood, and hot suizas always helps in that regard. When we got home, the maintenance guy came in and drilled holes for the shelves, which we put up with only a moderate amount of swearing and extra holes drilled in the shelves themselves, and only one trip back to Ace Hardware to exchange a misaligned bracket. Much rearrangement and vacuuming and back pain later, and we are settled and sitting next to each other. The table still needs to be finished, and the counter still needs to be cleaned, stuff needs to be donated to the library, but all in all, it is better.


Finished reading The Authoritarians, by Bob Altemeyer. Eye opening and disturbing, he describes research on people who seem to make no sense at all to me. The first chapter is dense, the rest much easier to read.
