Cyn passed her real estate tests on her first try 🎉 I helped her study a
bit, and the questions were written in some kind of bar-exam-meets James
Joyce dialect, with quadruple negatives and the occasional logic trap. I
can’t imagine sussing that mess out in a second language, but she managed to
nail it. 我的老婆很聰明
Went to the No Kings march here in Richmond. Haven’t seen official numbers,
but there must’ve been at least 12, maybe 13 billion people there. My
favorite sign I saw:
You’re not going to believe it, but this week will be week 8 of waiting
for the DMV to correct a motorcycle title with one missing 0. One of the
things I was most looking forward to, when I bought this bike 8 weeks ago,
was going on a Father’s Day motorcycle ride with my dad. Thanks for ruining
that for us, DMV! If this new title isn’t hand-chiseled into a slab of
granite, I’m going to be very upset.
Around 9 months ago, the pump on our washing machine died, and I got a new
pump, and replaced it. That replacement pump just kicked the bucket, so I get
to do it again.
Speaking of water-removal-apparatuses failing: our new dehumidifier arrived.
I installed that bad-boy this week, and it hasn’t yet burst into flames or
flooded the house. That feels like a small success! Considering how much
cheaper it was than the last one, I’m now excited to find out whether I
actually got a deal or a humbling betrayal awaits me.
