I always know where my sandals are, but that's because I use them as slippers all year long. Speaking of that, it's probably about time to go buy myself a new pair of sandals (since I use them so much, they tend to only last about a year)

Is there any way to add stairmill or regular stairs to Runkeeper? Good news: the gym has added rowing machines. I'll have to try them out sometime.
Flickr question: given that the front page, after login, keeps loading pictures whenever I scroll all the way down... how do I get to the links at the bottom of the page? (Oh wait, after about 6 times of scrolling to the bottom it finally stopped infinitying.)
Tonight in CERT monthly meeting, we had weather spotter training (previously scheduled). If you're interested in seeing what it's like, you can take the course online: https://www.meted.ucar.edu/trainin... (Apparently, it's not official until you take the course in person. It seems to depend on your local authorities.)
Going through boxes and boxes (and boxes) of VHS tapes filled with TV shows taped off the air. I wish I had been more organized when I taped them, so I could let myself keep some. Unfortunately, when you're programming the taping of a night's worth of stuff on one tape, you can't organize.
So far, I've come across (besides lots of DW, Avengers, B5, TNG, and DS9): Young Indiana Jones, Burning Zone, Time Trax, Seeing Things, Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, KFTLC, Nero Wolfe, Equalizer, X-Files, VR5, Sandbaggers, Quantum Leap, Legend (Richard Dean Anderson), MST3K, Strange Luck, Mapp and Lucia, Over My Dead Body (Edward Woodward).

Tried to inflate the bike tires. One is fine. The other is not. I guess I get to learn how to replace... something. I'm thinking I might practice patching it, so I know how to do it on the road, then go ahead and replace it. I'll have to look for some instructional video tonight.
I've been putzing around at home this morning, but it's time to start getting things done if I expect to enjoy my time off. Looked at the clock, said out loud, "It's nine o'clock" and the voice in my mind finished the announcement, "...and the library is now open."
"Eva, who works as a foster mom for Badass Brooklyn Foster Dog, rescued this one-eyed dachshund mix from a high-kill shelter in Alabama. She fell in love, bringing him back to her farm in Pennsylvania and naming him Captain Morgan. Captain was eventually adopted by an awesome couple a few months ago, and it’s been happy-ever-after since. The couple brought Captain to a Badass Brooklyn block party where he was reunited with the woman who saved his life. As soon as he saw Eva, he jumped into her arms to say “thank you.”"

"College & University | CA, USA | (My professor is a harsh grader and very few of his students ever do well on a quiz, despite him showing us exactly what each one will look like. He also has a habit of starting class up to five minutes early. That he even waited until the proper starting time for class today was unusual.) Professor: “Oh, just a minute. I’ve left something in my office.” (The professor leaves and comes back several minutes later with a stack of papers.) Professor: “Alright. We’re going to have a pop quiz today. It’ll be worth 20 points, so try your best.” Classmate: “Will this count against us, or is it just extra credit?” Professor: “Well, let me put it this way: if you get this wrong, you shouldn’t expect to do well in class.” (20 points is a lot in his class, so we’re all anxious, until we see what the questions are. “Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb” and “How long does it take to cook a 3-minute-egg” are among the hardest he’s asking.) Professor: “The most important...

(I'm so glad this isn't mine. OTOH, I've been hearing some odds thumps, which I've been attributing to the next door kids galloping up and the down the stairs. Maybe I should check my attic?)

Wells Fargo bank foreclosing on Orlando man who paid on time,... | www.wftv.com - http://www.wftv.com/news...
"Three days after Eyewitness News contacted Wells Fargo, bank representative Veronica Clemons sent a statement: "For some loans, completing trial payments is a significant step toward a permanent modification; however, in this instance, the loan was part of a mortgage-backed security and in a protected pool, with specific payment guidelines. We are working with Mr. Syldor to explain the guidelines and explore options that may help." The bank told Eyewitness News Syldor didn't follow the modification guidelines because he paid early and sometimes his payments were sent one on top of the other."

"Perception," with Eric McCormack. We just got season 1 at the library. Worth watching?

"Then right there, right up to the houses, [ice] crawling over the ground like something out of a sci-fi thriller. It's crawling up the walls of the house. In ts that ice was three feet deep forcing itself into the house. It sounds like a train. Damaging the walls and breaking the window." Video:...
"This routine I found in my November 2011 issue of Oxygen Magazine (perfect timing) and pulled it out of the archives and plan to work this today at the gym before it gets too late. Try it and tell me how you like it. The routine only had the Speed/Level and since my machine has it by Steps per Minute I added a translation column"

That's twice in two days Google Maps has failed me. Good thing I could tell both times. The first one, it said to go 1.5 miles west when it's actually 1 block east. The second time, right street address, wrong town (2 miles away).
