Just in time for Valentines day!
From this article from The Atlantic
Now, though, I realize that if I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life, I’m at the age where I’ll likely need to settle for someone who is settling for me.

What I’ve been up to
The massive bookcase is closing in on final. I don’t think I would choose this design again.
The workshop
The Bookcase – it’s eight feet tall by four feet wide by 11 inches deep.

Sorry for the light blogging (again)
Work has been hectic, and house projects have taken up the remainder of my free time. On another note, the bookshelves near completion.

This is no ordinary Tuesday
My predictions are Obama and Huckabee here in GA. On a related note, I met my first Ron Paul door to door guy on Saturday, he seemed very nice. He gave me a bumper sticker too.
Before I go vote, here are some links that caught my eye:
- Barstool Economics
- Leading denominations by location
- Your tax dollars by at work – Atlanta cop and Duluth cop in shoot out

Lost sleep and mixed blessings

Monday night rapid fire
- A photographer in Seattle wins a lawsuit against police for eighty thousand. His offense? Taking pictures of police doing public work in a public place. I think law enforcement is heading for a meltdown that will leave everyone worse off, which will be the topic of a much longer post as soon as I get time.
- David Friedman with more on the Ron Paul affair, it’s a good examination of self selection and rhetoric.
- David Friedman again with one of the best blog posts I’ve seen on religion in quite a while.

When irony meets the homeless
One of the more annoying things about my fun new area is the increased encounters with the urban outdoorsmen of our community. I was making a late night caffeine run for one my increasingly frequent all-nighters and I came across some guy bumming for money outside the grocery store. He did the usual story, then closed with “I need money for food.”
Naturally he was eating a bag of Cheeto’s at the time, which actually dovetails nicely with my more famous moment involving orange snacks and grocery stores, which you can hear if you see me play at any music venue…

The bookcases come into being
Now all that remains is the finishing, and the mounting to the wall…
It’s huge,
It comes up to withing 4 inches of the ceiling
I did most of the construction in the house…
It gets a bit dusty…
