Re: Sale or possession of electrical weapons; penalties (in La Legion Fantastique) I think we are safe there. They specifically refer to portable devices, and we all know that Robur's little zap gun needs serious block and takle to move.

The stress levels have been very high for me lately. (blog entry) My wife is due any day now, and this will be the first time for both of us. Strangely I find myself worrying more about schools in the East Bay than the delivery, and that won’t be a real concern for years.

Mean stupid Universe (blog entry) And the blows keep coming (See live journal for details). I dropped my cell phone Tuesday a week ago as I was running to the Doctor’s office. I ran back as soon as I realized this, but it was already gone. I have called a dozen times, but no one a... read more

The insurance company totaled my motorcycle and offered me $3300 for it, which is a thousand dollars less than it should be. I am contesting their estimate so they have asked me to submit recent ads for similar motorcycles that are less than 100 miles from my home. I already have two ad... read more

And the blows keep coming (See live journal for details). I dropped my cell phone Tuesday a week ago as I was running to the Doctor’s office. I ran back as soon as I realized this, but it was already gone. I have called a dozen times, but no one answers. Yesterday I learned that a call was made on it after I lost it. Adding one and one gets Bozo-isn’t-trying-to-return-my phone. So I had the phone disabled.
On the outside chance that the person who picked it up did try calling my friends to f... read more

Work on my rental house has hit another delay.

The last one was for two weeks while the shower stall kit I ordered had to be built (I assume) and shipped from the east coast. We needed the kit in hand before we closed up the wall in case we had to add more bracing. Turned out it was a good thing we waited as we ended up having to move the entire shower head and valve assembly to the adjacent wall (its being installed in a corner).

about me
I was born in the northern part of Los Angeles...and there was much rejoicing, but at the time no one offered me a beer. Since then I am, or have been, "Der Leutnant von dem Schwarze Fähnlein -Ret." (commander of the Germans at the Northern Renaissance Pleasure Faire -retired). A pilot with the Southern Renaissance Faire Mariners. The First Mate (for real) on the tall ships Rendezvous, the Bay Lady, Sea Raven, and the Alma. I have crewed on many other tallships as well. I am a Past Master of Pacific-Starr King lodge #136 Free and Accepted Masons of the state of California. I am a homeowner, landlord, Math tutor, Sailing instructor (ASA cert.), and six or seven other things that I can’t recall at the moment.
