Bag of Randomness

  • Not only did we get a new air conditioner yesterday, but we also got a new hot water heater.
  • Shouldn’t it be called a cold water heater?
  • Or just water heater?
  • We also had a Grundfos hot water recirculating system put on the water heater.
  • It was like Extreme Makeover Home Edition at GeedingManor yesterday with four AC guys and two plumbers.
  • Oh, and my router went out so I had to get a new one.
  • When it rains, it pours.
  • The two plumbers were brother-in-laws, and so were two of the four AC men.
  • When people come to work on the house, the first thing I do is fill up a big cup of ice cold water and give it to the workers.  I learned that from my mom.
  • When I woke up yesterday morning, I decided to get a breakfast burrito at our local Market Street, where I saw a soccer mom park her Suburban diagonally across two handicap spaces just to walk in and get a breakfast burrito like myself.  I walked around her vehicle just to make sure there wasn’t a handicap or disabled sticker – I couldn’t find one.  I was ticked, and wanted to say something, but I just walked away shaking my head.
  • Later that evening as I drove by that same place, I saw a pushing his Suburban.  WifeGeeding forced me out to help him push, although I would have done it on my own.  Turns out the guy simply ran out of gas.
  • Funny thing, I store my farts in the same type of container.
  • Evidently our church hosted a church from Wasilla, Alaska as I saw this message in one of the rooms in church.
  • But good for Sarah Palin for asking restraint be shown at all the town hall meetings.
  • Everything you wanted to know about mom jeans.
  • Paul Krugman  of the NY Times and a Nobel Prize winner in Economics had an interesting commentary on the town hall mobs that I pretty much agree with.
  • It’s fun follow The Edge from U2 on Twitter.  Recently he posted a picture of a gold Ferrari.
  • Combining old music with new music
  • I’ve been thinking a lot regarding my air conditioner situation.  The last two nights I had to sleep without air conditioning, and then I started to think about my family in Vietnam who sleep every night without air conditioning.

    I too thought of VN when reading about your AC problems. When a westerner enters a store in Hanoi the shop keeper will turn the AC unit on. As soon as they leave they will turn it back off. We went to a three story art gallery. They turned the lights & AC on for the first floor when we entered. When we were ready to upstairs they went ahead of us and turned the lights/ac on there while someone else turned them off on the floor we were leaving.

    They know good customer service, but they also know how to watch their nickles and dimes.
