I've started stripping

I've not been doing much of anything online these days. As a new homeowner "in these uncertain economic times" I have to do everything I can to save money while I fix up the new old house. So what that means is that all my spare time is now spent stripping.....

stripping paint, stripping wallpaper, stripping away 60 years of thoughless "improvements."

at some point this blog will become the chronicles of our bungalow restoration and remodel... but at this point I got to keep stripping.

Since its election day, I thought I would share a little retrospective on past governmental policy. This is "The War On Drugs", a Talk of The Nation program from 2004 edited and put to music by Alan Calvitti... worth a listen. (~52MB zipped album of mp3 tracks)
