Crabby Like Lucy

John and I went to Home Depot yesterday afternoon in search of a fan.

Apparently nobody told the local Home Depot staff about that thing called Indian Summer, where people still need fans.

Just a sellin' heaters now, despite the fact that home depot dot com said it was in stock at the store we chose to visit.

Stocking heaters in Daly City, when the temperature outside was 68 when we got there.

No problem! They didn't get our business as a result of their inability to grok regional weather patterns. Tah Dah!

Last night at game three of Angels at Boston, this third very VERY crucial game was almost handed to the Sox when The Three Stooges watched the ball bounce between em all in the field in the bottom of the 5th.

I don't mind if the Angels lose a game if they do their best, but trying to hand it to them like this isn't something I'm too fond of.

Luckily, Jered Weaver wove his magic, and the Angels won a squeaker, 5-4 in twelve innings.

Meh.

Finally, I find a sad piece of news on the Cinema Insomnia website, and that is that CI is no longer on KTEH, replaced by repeats of programs from earlier in the day.

Thanks to Ken Patterson for bringing the show to the station.

Saturday nights aren't gonna be the same.

I'll be okay; I will go lean on Schroeder's piano while he plays for a while.

A couple of years ago, the local Orchard Supply had a run on fans during the late Summer. We had a heat wave. They were completely out of every single fan. Many customers were coming in and pestering them about when they would re-stock. About a week to 10 days later, they had a big re-stock. By that time, the weather had cooled to the low 70s and stayed there for the rest of the warm season. They were stuck with a big stock that didn't move at all. I think I bought a fan out of sympathy.

Since that incident, I have an extra fan or two around the house in case one conks out or we have a heat wave. ---- Living in a small apartment, I can understand why you don't have the luxury of stocking extras of things. ---- I assume you were able to find something to move air around?
