Fancy Computer Skins
This rocket trip home seems punctuated with errands and chores. The big chore of course were the new windows. They were installed yesterday and today we marked that chore done-done, when we put the house back together again. The biggest item involved with the windows was reinstalling the blinds. We had a fair amount of trouble with them, but persevered and got all of the blinds reinstalled, then put all of the furniture back where it was before. Other miscellaneous chores included a trip to East Kansas City, where our dentist has moved to. Anne got her hair cut and I still have to do that too. My other activity was replacing the laptop. Because of a clerical error, I thought that the computer store would fix the device, because it was still under warranty, but that was a mistake. I elected to get a new refurbished laptop, plus an in-store warranty. I’ll figure out what to do with the old laptop, when we get back to town in the fall. It is going to need a new mother board, so it will not be cheap.

Turn the radio on—Get in touch with God
Thayer Magic Manufacturing Company, Los Angeles, Spirito, 1932. The Spirito radio’s exterior appeared to offer cutting-edge technology in the 1930s. The inside, though, was completely empty apart from a hidden coil that allowed the voice of an assistant offstage to be broadcast as “the spirit.” Magicians played off the connections between science and the spirit world with their own devices such as Spirito. Thayer Magic, a company that produced equipment for magicians from 1907 to the 1930s, claimed “nothing supernatural for Spirito” apart from being “the master scientific marvel of the age!” The radio that tunes in on the mysterious unknown.
Today, we accomplished our main goal for returning home. Eight new windows were installed. A crew of 4-5 men showed up on time, went right to work and installed our replacement windows. The look nice, so nice in fact the few remaining windows now standout like sore thumbs. We’ll have to get their replacement scheduled ASAP. Watching them work was exhausting. So much so that it might takes a day or two to put things back the way they were.

1∞ Wheeler Passing Us in the Rain
This morning, we launched early and made good progress until about sixty miles from home. As you can see. Anne was driving and she did a yeoman’s job behind the wheel, but when the last rest stop presented itself, she took the opportunity to bale. I drove the remainder, except as we were leaving the rest stop, the clouds parted, the skies brightened and the sun even came out. I guess she wasn’t doing it right after all. Anyway, we’re home now. 😉
