Phase II


This week I met with partners Steve Pruitt and Jim Merritt who may end up being the builders for my Phase II house addition. Steve did some work on Miller's condo after Ivan. Steve, Jim and I went to the Nasello job site so they could see a DAC-ART project in progress.

Today Ted Dial (Mr. DAC-ART) is coming over to the Jerry Nasello job site to give instruction to the crew there and Steve and Jim are going to meet w/ Ted and Mark , Jerry's builder, too.

Momma and Daddy need some help getting organized about this upcoming move. Jim Beck , the interior decorator is getting the decor of the new place organized, but the house they are leaving has about 3 X the sq footage of the new place, plus there is a ton of stuff there that Harry has brought from the Wilderwood Ln house and put in the guesthouse and garage that I have to pack into a U-Haul and get down here to go thru. A lot of the boxes are Miller's and were in storage in an airplane hanger and his old bedroom. The rest is pretty much the entire contents of the Wilderwood Ln house, as best I can tell.

I am glad that Steve and Jim are going to be available today to meet w/ Ted and see DAC-ART being installed today as this will move me closer to a start date on the additional house space I need.

I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past.

This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
