Time for another update.  Let’s see . . . . The last update included a diatribe about religious fundamentalists trying to deny me my rights; an update on the work we’re doing around the house; the heating system conversion we’re having done; and some “yadda, yadda, yadda”.

This past weekend, we mostly finished the master bedroom’s trim, painted the guest room and added some paints form the Ivy and Wilde collection and laid the new floor in there.  We’re still trying to figure out what trim pieces go where in the MB, because we didn’t mark it as we took it down.  We DID manage to finish the guest room, though, trim included.  The color came out a little different than we expected.  We were going for a light peach kind of color, but wound up with more of a deep pumpkin.  With the bedding, curtains and art work, it works out very well, though.  I’ll have pictures as soon as we finish getting art work up and Jeffrey can take pics. 

WE HAVE CENTRAL HEAT NOW!!  The company we hired to convert us from the ceiling radiant heat finished the work converting us to an electric heat pump and central heat/air on Friday.  The difference is amazing.   They also retrofitted one of the gas fireplaces so we can burn real wood in it, and fixed the other gas fireplace so that it works as intended. 

Jeffrey bought a dart machine.  You know, one of those electronic, quarter-eating machines you use to play darts on in a bar.  He found a great deal on one through Craig’s List from a guy down in Olympia.  I was able to dig up most our darts, and we’ve been getting our game back a little bit at a time.  I’ll post a picture when I can.

Learning a little more about the neighborhood.  Somewhere, someone has horses.  I keep hearing the whinnying, and I’ve seen people riding them up and down the alley.  I guess we’re in a slightly more rural area than I thought.  We’ve also got racoons in the neighborhood, not that I’m surprised considering our proximity to the state park.  I see them in the neighbor’s yard every once in a while, at night.

Perhaps the most thrilling thing for me, though, is that I can hear sea lions (or seals) from my back yard.  I knew we were close to the water (meaning Puget Sound), I didn’t think we were THAT close, though. 

Gawds, I’ve missed being in the Pacific Northwest.

Any commentary I care to share regarding the political situation and the upcoming election will be witheld until after the election, with one exception.

Unless you are willing to vote against your own self-interests, be sure to vote a Democratic ticket this year.  Republicans ruled Congress from 1994 through 2006, and we’ve had a Republican president since 2001.  We’ve seen and experienced what the Republican vision is, since they’ve enacted most of their “wish list”, and it is not healthy for the USA.  Think before you vote, and if all else fails, remember which party is fighting for the little guy.  It sure ain’t the Republicans.  John McCain thinks middle-class includes people making $5 MILLION a year.

Addendum:  I almost forgot.  Washington State is transitioning to mail-in ballots only.  We got ours a week or so ago.  We’re going to be casting our votes tonight and mailing them tomorrow. 

Be sure to vote, if you are eligible.  It’s the most important thing you will do this year.  Maybe this generation.
