Ordinarily I wouldn’t post twice in one day, but I thought this was a good opportunity for a daily update and a few acknowledgements.
When I got my mail this morning, it contained a letter from the city, which is never good. My first thought was that they were going to make us do something expensive and destructive concerning our septic system. It turns out they’re demanding we maintain and upgrade our gravel driveway. Trouble is, we don’t have a gravel driveway, nor have we ever had one. In fact, we spent many thousands of dollars just last summer having a new concrete driveway and sidewalk put in. The city maintenance division was actively involved in said driveway project, as they provided the new drainpipe that runs under the head of the drive. Obviously the whole citation thing is an error on someone’s part, but it’s very frustrating that I won’t be able to call until Monday. I’m 99% sure they’ve accidentally identified our neighbor’s driveway as ours, but we’ll see what happens Monday.
On a completely different subject, I’d like to thank everyone who has stumbled across this site and added comments and/or linked to my blog. I keep a close eye on my referral stats (how could I not?!), and have found some very entertaining blogs that way. I’m adding many of them in the “Other Blogs I Like” list on the right. Special thanks to Mark Beck for the suggestion of echinacea supplements for my ongoing respiratory travails. I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.
Thanks also to my friends and family members who are using this blog to keep up with me. It’ll probably make me a much better listener when we get together, since I won’t have anything left to say about myself.
