Frank continues to work on the driveway, while I sit inside earning money to pay for it, occasionally popping out to take photos. Follow the driveway pictures or the podcast. In driveway news, we’ve been hampered quite a lot by rain of late. Frank checked the week’s forecast before renting a tractor, but since he rented it, we’ve had a couple of rain days, and the chances for the remained of the week have been…
Two years ago, we remodeled our house. The roof caved in while we were replacing it, and I got tons of podcast material. As I’ve been relating on my show, this year’s project is to dig up the asphalt driveway, add pavers and install a garden. But we are once again slowed down by July rains.

It’s been ten days and I still haven’t seen an iPhone. I’ve been inside a few AT&T stores, where circumstances and extremely dim clerks have conspired to prevent my laying hands on the thing. Getting to an Apple Store, while possible, takes a long time, and I just haven’t been able to spare time for the two round-trip bus rides that would be required. Early on, I read the iPhone reviews.

I’ll be on Ken Ray’s Technocracy Radio tomorrow (Saturday) at 12 PM Pacific. The show appears on San Francisco’s sorta podcast station, KYOU. You can also listen to the stream, or subscribe to Ken’s podcast version of the show.
