I moved my family into a new house this month. First week in the house a block of lights in the kitchen went out and I couldn't find the breaker or GFI outlet that was tripped to fix the problem. I sent a text to a friend across town who didn't even know I had moved, it was a Saturday morning. He goes "where are you? I'll be there in 30 minutes." He had the problem diagnosed in minutes, a fried breaker. We picked up a replacement part better suited to that spot in the panel and had it replaced 20 minutes later. Friends gotta look out for each other.

Home prices increasing is only good for folks who own multiple properties. Renters and single home owners don't benefit from rising home prices.

My dad is one of the best guitarists I've ever known and I'm just starting to play with him after more than 25 years on the instrument. Wish I would have started earlier.

My dad wants me to come over tomorrow and try out Tool riffs on his new Gibson Les Paul with him. I have ascended.
