With all the usual “dont’ take advice from me I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about anymore than anyone else” caveats: I’m getting a pretty strong feeling that the mortgage scene is about to go tits up again soon. Rates are crazy low (
Sweet pachhahaha! Arlen Spector switches to the democratic party! Didn’t see that coming (I thought he’d make a run for independent). If he wins re-election, that’s 59 senate democrats.

A couple weeks ago I was cleaning out my gutters, and I broke one a little bit, right near the downspout. I’ve got these ghetto plastic (of all things) gutters, and the spot that broke was actually just not built properly. In fact, it was two plastic pieces joined end to end with glue. Previous [...]
Charles posted a link to the Surly Gourmand Seattle food blog. Indeed a good read.
