My electricity usage has doubled in the past week (wonder why? 🥵) Solar panels for the win! Doing my part to not stress out the grid (and actually help it!)
Anyone have a recommendation for a local carpenter that can make & install custom shelves in a downstairs closet (double width)?
It’s currently an empty box with water pipes along the sides and I’m getting tired of stacking & unstacking boxes to get to things.
Thanks!

Whew. 7:30 meditation group followed up by coffee & fun election talk at Junction Bakery. 10:00 - 12:00 worked polls at City Hall for @alyia4alx.bsky.social. Saw @oconnell.bsky.social & Kevin Harris. Voted at Mt Vernon Rec on my way home. Now to see who wins! Gotta love an Alexandria election!
Any of my fellow Gen-Xers watch Brats yet? (Hulu documentary by Andrew McCarthy working through his feelings about the era with other Brat Packers).
As someone who was completely obsessed with St. Elmo’s Fire (movie & soundtrack) have to say I found it fascinating (and completely nostalgic).
Just ran by this water open house at Mount Vernon Rec and was able to verify my water lines are good and don’t need to be replaced. Appreciated having a place to ask questions.
If anyone is looking for a great local charity to support, can I suggest Cornerstone Craftsman? Roberto is a great guy (he’s part of a weekly meditation group I’m in) who is looking to make a difference in teens’ lives by mentoring them in the skilled trades.
