Labors

I should have posted last night -- my plans fell through and I ended up just at home, catching up on stuff... and now I am thinking that tonight's plans may go the same way.  This is sort of fine, if I let like get to ed early -- I have a large book to read, plenty of content on TIVO, etc. -- but there is some small part of me that says I should get out of the house for some entertainment.  We will see.  I should have gone to the Army parade; on the one hand, the 250th anniversary of the army should merit some celebration, but with President Awesome...well, the man does love a parade, and I will leave it at that.

OC duty today.  The count was 126 -- a big drop from last week's 185 (sorry I missed it).  The rain might have kept people away, though I suspect the Plexiglas principle was at work.  We would have thought that we would have fewer walkers, but it was not as many as we thought... a few people in the morning were pains in the rear, and they are repeat offenders in that regard... I guess I would prefer a tighter and more general application of the rules, but that is me...  anyways, most of the produce is gone (much of it was rancid and I had to pitch, oi) and the freezers were emptied.  Not enough volunteers for the clothing room, which you would have thought was a Geneva Convention violation...but we were mostly fine.  I guess I didn't have to be there, but there was a concern we were going to be short of volunteers, and we were, for the computer and front work, but it was fine.   

I made a comment to a friend that while I am more concerned about my mortgage, I should be more concerned about my HELOC -- it has a higher interest rate and paying it off doesn't give me interest for the taxes -- and he commented that (more than anyone he knows) I am just more debt-averse, because it represents a limit on my financial future...and he is 100% correct.  I guess I should be concerned with paying them off equally!  But I was amused.
