COLD DARK ROOM

Good day all.
We went from sunny and Spring-like, back to overcast, dark, dreary, wet, cold day. A bummer, really. A bit depressing as well.
For those folks out there building tort houses and enclosures, here’s a rather good explanation on the misc grades of plywood. And why some cost so much!

Not only terrible, but a nightmare.That was terrible!
I hope the area and the people are recovering OK.
Yes, thanks Lyn. But it's taking a real lot of time. Moreover, it was obviously the very poor who were effected, making things twice as hard. This is always expected when one does not have much money.
Plus, I'm negotiating for a "sound" wall. That would be a cement wall 6' tall across the front of my property. Since my driveway won't be on the front, it would be a nice barrier. then my 6' redwood privacy fences down each side of the property would meet the sound wall and I would effectively be fenced in!! Yea! But my side of the street is in the County, not the City, so the City would have to go to the County and apply for a variance. Right now the county says any fence across the front can be no taller than 3'. Thing is, a variance is not free. So I don't know if the City will go for it. If not, then I'm going to negotiate that now my property value has considerably lessened from what it was before the noise level was an issue.
Yeah, that's the way it is now. I don't hear the traffic unless I'm outside trying to talk to someone. We can't hear each other unless we raise our voices.
"eye stuff" scares me. I was a nervous wreck prior to going in for cataract surgery. I can't imagine what it feels like for you. Hope it turns out ok.
3 foot?For all the disruption, the nuisance noise and the potential loss of value to your home ?
That's disgraceful!!!
I hope you do get your 6 foot wall Yvonne that's the least they can do.
Yes always the same - the poor suffer the most and find it harder to pick themselves up.
I hope the government is helping out,
Obviously nest should be nextAt last!
My parcel arrived. I have to teach myself how to use it now.
They've very kindly given me a voucher to save 10$ off my nest Solarmeter product too!
My son and his family took an airline flight from Texas to San Francisco, then rented two cars and drove up to Oregon for the funeral of my daughter-in-law's mother. Afterwards, back in San Francisco, they had time before the flight home (next day) to do sightseeing. They went on a double decker bus for a sightseeing trip around various points of interest in S.F. and to the Golden Gate Bridge.
I was raised in S.F., only moving to Fresno when I got married. And we didn't have sightseeing vehicles back in those days (over 60 years ago). This is of the Haight/Ashbury district (in the olden days this is hippy territory) from the top of a double decker bus:
And this is of the type of tiny car you can rent to drive around the city. It's actually a three wheel motorcycle (two wheels in the front and one in the back) with a car body on it:
The Golden Gate bridge. Just LOOK at the traffic on the bridge:

Ah ok I get it now because for us caroline the ine is said like « in », I think for you the end of caroline would be like saying « line »(like...you know draw a « line » with a pencil) ? haaa! it’s complicated expressing sounds with words!!
They're great pics. I love those little cars I could do with one of those myself just to run around locally.
I don't know if I'd feel safe on the bridge with all that traffic. It must be safe but after the collapse in Italy last year it does make you wonder.
The English language can be very strange!
Yeah well I got mixed up because for us I or y is said like « he » while for english people it’s well you know...
So basicaly I thought carol-lyn was said like « carol inn » yeah like a motel...
That's about right.
That's about right.
Yes I finally got it! There are people named « lyne » too here prononced « L » « in ».

They cared for wildlife also, but advised me it wasn't the best way to handle the situation. I said "but the mantis only had 3 more legs to go...what should I have done?" There was silence, then "please don't fight anymore."

The consequences of my little darling's idiosyncracies...
