Jon Stewart on Net Neutrality

You can't just dump stuff on the internet like it's a big truck. It's a series of tubes. Is it possible to vote someone out of the Senate from a different state? Something we might should look into.

D'ville, but not Cruella

This morning I find myself in D'Iberville, MS. If you read the previous post, you might remember that I knew I was headed to MS, but did not really know where. D'ville right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, just a little west of Biloxi.

Yesterday, Saturday, July 1, was a really long day, but not in the "will this day ever end" way. Here is the run down of the events that transpired:

We were up and at'em at 6am. By 7am we were at Linda's house raisin' the roof. Well, actually first we had to tear the roof off. By 1pm we were leaving and Linda had herself a new roof. Then, after a quick bite, it off to the Home Depot for a demo on how to lay ceramic tile, thanks David.

Afterward, there was a brief rest period where some folks grab showers, took power naps, and played single stob played horseshoes. This was followed by a trip to see the second home we were going to work on. The men checked out the house, and made a second HD run. The ladies planned meals, went to Wally World for groceries, and then stopped by the house.

We were invited to a fish fry at another church, Tabernacle X Church, where X equals something I cannot remember. Anyway, Robert, who was our team lead for the roofing job is staying at this church and he had ~40 volunteers coming in on Saturday. So, the church was throwing them a fish fry, and we got an invitation. The food was awesome. They had fried fish, fried shrimp, fried onions, i.e onion rings, and French fries. We also had some corn on the cob, which was spicy, but good, and some watermelon. They had paramedics on hand just in case anyone's heart stopped beating.

After the fish fry, where I consumed more fried material than any one human should eat in a month, we came back to headquarters (Note: My next post will be about this place.) and got ready to start the tile prep. It was about 9-9:30 at this point.

We spent the rest of the night at the house trying to get ready to lay tile. The house is built on a concrete slab. In the kitchen, they had layed linoleum. Imagine trying to scrape all the paint off of you car with a screwdriver. Getting the linoleum off the floor was a lot like this. We finally got it all up right at 2am.

So, it was a long, great day! Now it is Sunday morning, and time to get going on another one.

Soon, I will have all the pictures we have taken on my flickr.
