Dear So and So

[Pax]

Wow! Here that landlord would be in court so fast their head would spin. University town with huge renter protections, just to keep stuff like that from happening, what a jerk!

Thanks Catrin and Pax. She posted it last night - but at least not the bikes and the map is about a block away (not that someone couldn't easily find it - but it's not a straight line to the house). Our housing laws are a mess here - so no help there. It would all be over before I could even get it in front of a magistrate. We would be out today except that our closing got delayed until Monday because either the plumber failed to call the city for an inspection or the city dragged its heels (had to remove a bunch of defective plumbing joints in the new house). So - they have yet to sheetrock and paint. Crossing our fingers all goes smoothly from here out.

Sorry to be so negative here lately - I need to make more of an effort to post the good stuff too!

Ugh, Blueberry...sorry that your delayed closing has resulted in even more bad juju! I know you can't get out of that place fast enough.

Hopefully this will all soon be a distant memory, and you'll be enjoying rides in "the OC" very soon. SUCH a great place to ride!

[OakLeaf]

Oh man Blueberry. Hoping you can close on Monday and get moved ASAP!

Dear seed companies,

I KNOW what the mature plant is supposed to look like, that's why I planted your seeds! How about decorating your seed packets with pictures of the cotyledons and first leaves so I know which ones aren't weeds???

Can't think of any weeds (around here, at least) that you can see the cotyledons on when they sprout.

Here, it's pretty much everything except the grasses and dandelions. Not that there isn't plenty of those, but there are all kinds of other weeds too that do sprout with their cotyledons first. At least I can recognize hairy galinsoga by now, gah, awful stuff!
