  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Is it Plugged in?

July 17, 2006 | House |

Yup, owning a house is expensive. $95 was the cost of this question. Mike noticed our AC not working, it was humming but the fan wasn’t working, so he called in a tech. The consultation fee itself is $95, with any repairs being extra. Basically we learned that there…
