When they 1st brought it up for town vote they said that all dwellings in the 1st section worked on would receive FREE hookup to the system so all those people voted yes.

Current dollars the hookup to the system will be between 5 and 10 thousand dollars.

Whole project will take 30 years. I THINK my area is in about 5-7 years. Hookup will probably be a minimum of $15k

Also 1 worker died in a trench collapse a few weeks ago. They didn't use the braces to prevent collapses.
We had that happen maybe a year ago. The company that won the low bid didn't use any braces, trench collapsed and a guy died. Company didn't even shut down the project for a full day, they were back working less than 24 hours later.

You'll be moved in with Glen by that time.

Edit: I also have a useful story of a former student who got caught in an academic integrity violation (not my class, I was simply adjudicating the situation). It was a repeat offense - he lost his international student visa after falling out of good academic standing and was subsequently deported - and this was back in the pre-"frozen water" era we currently inhabit. This gets their attention.
Pre-frozen water era, eh? You mean when Glen voted for Dewey???

Missing my company holiday party. Everyone gets each other a $5 gift. I got everyone $5 scratch offs. I was only able to get 4 Elf ones though. Some got Monopoly and others got Lucky 13. I hope someone wins big and gets to retire. I dropped them off at the office and the office manager is going to hand them out for me.

Did they find out anything else at the doctors or are they set on stress?

Waiting on some test results. Pretty sure I have an umbilical hernia, but I don't think that would cause me to pass out like I did that night when I terrified T and N.

I am leaving in a few minutes for the show with a stop for lunch on the way. Here's hoping for a good day.

Have good afternoon everyone. I will check in tonight, good bad or ugly.

I'm still looking for 1991 Topps wax if it's cheap. Hope you have a good show.

It doesn't bother me but some people pitch a poop fit about it. If someone wants to buy one to have, someone has to sell it.
