A Pleasant SurpriseCategory: neighbors
Recently the Lovely Lettuce posted about our neighbors. and not seeing the nicer side of them. Well today, I did.
The previous administrations of our house left us with evergreen shrubs and landscape timber in our front yard. I got rid of the shrubs a couple of weeks ago. And today's project was getting the landscape timber into the backyard so I could decide what to do with them.
The previous admin's used round telephone pole like timbers. As I was struggling with a timber pretty much as tall as me, our neighbor (the male part of the couple Lettuce wrote about) came out and asked me if I needed help. This was a very pleasant surprise.
By that time, I was covered in dirt so I asked him "Are you sure you want to? You'll get dirty" He said that he didn't mind if he did.
So he helped me carry one from the front to the back. And in the middle of carrying the second large timber, my bad shoulder popped. We got it to the backyard. And I told him I would deal with it some other day. I didn't want him to do all my heavy lifting.
I thanked him for helping. He said it was just a small thing. I said to me it was more than just a small thing and that I really appreciated it.
Given everything that has happened, it was a very pleasant surprise that he would take the time and effort to help me.

That was nice of him and Neighboorly also. What it says to me is that you and him can get along even if the women can't. I think that is important to remember. What I mean is you both shouldn't get caught up in there battles, they are between the two of them.

It is great that he offered his help and that you are appreciative of it. Some people wouldn't see the good or bother, but you do and that is awesome. Certainly nice to see something good come out of what has/had been a negative situation so far.

No Pocky For KittyCategory: music
That's what I'm listening to right now. Years and years ago, someone I knew was a big Superchuck (WIKIPEDIA - Superchunk)fan and he recommended that I get this cd. This is the second time I listened to it this year. and I still like it.

Almost 40 years after Stonewall . . .Category: human rights
Today, I heard on the news that Gov. Paterson wants to legalize gay marriage
Almost 40 years after Stonewall, I still amazed that New York State hasn't legalized gay marriage.
Hopefully, Paterson will make it happen.

(e:hodown) - I think you are very right about that. In the 1980s when I lived in NYC, a gay rights/ artist that I knew pessimistically told me that the only way NYC would have gay rights was if it wasn't in New York State. He said that the "upstate" was too conservative and homphobic and hated NYC. After living in Western New York, I finally understand what David meant. The rural areas around here have more in common with Tennessee than they do with New York City.

It amazes me as well. I think a large part of it is that NYS has a lot of smaller more conservative towns.

I hope it passes, but to be honest I don't think it is going to. I don't remember when it was first tried but it failed then and I think it will again. Granted I hope I'm wrong. I think there is still a lot of opposition to making it legal here. But time shall tell.

Industry GiantsCategory: music
The ironically titled "Industry Giants" by Superdrag (WIKIPEDIA - Superdrag )
came in the mail today. I recently posted a video from the cd (e:uncutsaniflush,48266)It just might be the best Superdrag ever. This is the first cd by the original line-up in this century. It is confirmation of how important Brandon Fisher's guitar playing was to the Superdrag Sound.
I was already a fan of this band when I realized that Superdrag was more or less a friend of mine's old band without him in it.
I like listening to the creative design of mash-ups, but had yet to literally see the efforts. This one did not disappoint. "Bananas lalalalalala" might have wormed its way into my brain already. Thanks ;)
