late at night i walk thru town and eye everyone i meet
i want to follow them all home but i just follow my feet

into the bookstore i see thy love virgin style horny
sitting next to the hyde reports, sitting next to love story

and i ask what does sex mean to mean to me
and what does sex mean to society

In semi-chronological order:

1. The mural above the kitchen is developing bubbles and cracking, requires a visit (TBD) by the artist to determine next steps, at least some of the original paint from September 05 installation is still around
2. The hot water was used up very fast on first bath, adjusted water heater temperature (down!), problem did not recur
3. Washing machine stopped mid-cycle, electrical socket needed to be reset, then switched to different wash program, problem did not recur
4. Dish-washing delayed soap dispenser did not push out soap-filled "packet," leaving dishes filmy, so switched to different style packet, problem did not recur
5. THB's foot starts bleeding on side, DB finds tracks in bathroom next morning, THB's tender skin is cracking, feet sore rest of week, at least the bleeding does not recur
6. The combo VHS/DVD player won't play DVDs, will play VHS tapes. Turn it off for a while, then (for DB, not THB) it would play DVDs, problem did not recur
7. THB finished dead last at mah jongg, won one chicken-shit hand (lowest victory point total possible) entire game (good news: DB wins as THB gives her 40% of his original stake)
8. THB cut his pinkie severely after dropping and reaching for coffee mug that broke on impact, THB did not cut himself again
9. Drain in guest bathroom backed up, probably from too much long hair caught (clearly not THB's hair), removed hair, problem did not recur
10. New down pillow inserts turned out to be too soft and new pillows looked flat almost immediately; replaced new inserts with those from older pillows and now pillows look fine, not sure what to do with too soft down inserts
11. The motion sensor outdoor light doesn't work, maintenance comes and puts in new bulb, still doesn't work, request maintenance to return and now when the light goes on, it doesn't go off
12. Relatively new shower head start leaking, washer went bad at one spot and no washer at another; hardware store did not have washers, THB broke shower head when trying to put back on with jury-rigged washers, put back on old shower head, problem with removed shower head (and THB's head) not resolved
13. THB and DB return from shopping and spot two deer, then 8 more nearby. The most seen at any one time before was 3, infestation of deer at the beach unresolved
14. Direct TV receiver went out, other receiver in the house still works; requires service technician to come to beach house. It is a long sad story, in short: Direct TV won't come because the beach is set up to get the Bay Area stations (in order to watch sports stuff in HD), so we call the local guy and he makes the fix: a bad cable (cables go bad?)
15. DB's watch starts running significantly slow, TBD
16. The garbage disposal button stays in the "on" position, then after several more tries, it returns to working fine
17. THB wins big at mah jongg, though only because one other player doesn't realize how close he was to a HUGE win.
18. On the way out, the sliding doors to the deck won't lock....ahhhhh, something to look forward to when we return next weekend
