Plus, I like do...Yeah, I got a bit antsy, I guess. Plus, I like doing something that yields definite, obvious results. I'm simple that way. The only carpet left in the house is the guest bedroom upstairs. The wood floor in the hallway is exposed now, as is half of the study. The hall floor was painted battleship grey, but it's in good shape. The study floor is okay, so far, but there is a chunk missing, having been replaced with plywood. <BR/>I met one of the neighbors today: Jim Somethingorother. He's an older guy (we talked for a good 20 minutes about his experiences in WWII) and he was awfully proud of knowing just where all the neighbors work, where they're from, and the fact that he was responsible for the two useless stop signs on Ave F and the 20 mph speed limit. Go Jim. Said he actually wanted speed humps instead of stop signs. What a rebel. After he asked my name, his first question was what denomination Mel and I were. I told him I grew up Baptist(true) but I was interested in the Free Evangelical Church just down 95(not true). It only slowed him up a little bit. He assured me that in addition to the several Baptist churches and the big Lutheran church, there were a few "colored" churches. C'mon, at least he didn't mention "those people."<BR/>Welcome to small town, Texas.<BR/><BR/>Matt V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
