Giant Pencils

We have three faucets in the breakroom at work: the usual hot and cold pair, plus one labelled "near boiling". I'm coming to appreciate the convenience of the near-boiling faucet, and miss it when I'm at home. I've got a Sunbeam flash heater (one of my most dearly loved kitchen gadgets) that will boil a pint of water in under a minute, but it's not like just turning a tap and having it right there.

I need to clean out my closet, and make a massive drop-off at the Damnation Navy. I'm not exactly sure how I'll do that. In past, I've packed stuff in paper grocery bags, but those seem to have gone out of style. The paper bags were capacious, easy to handle, and had a more or less block-like form factor, which made them easy to pack full of clothes then haul around in the car. The plastic ones have many virtues, but don't cut it for this. I may have to get some boxes.

After a lull of two or so years, A. Gusman Tratores Ltda, a Brazilian mining equipment supplier, has once again started sending me news about their latest deals on heavy mining equipment. It's a mystery to me.

Only two months until Christmas. I need to get going on the restoration of my little houses.

Huh. Someone else on my friends list is apparently being targeted for advertising by Vestas, to buy some of their wind turbines.

Many grocers still have paper bags, hiding under the counter, for people who request them (I do, if I don't forget - they're too handy and when I'm done they can go into the recycle bin, instead of building up into an enormous ball of plastic film in my closet like the poly bags tend to). Target's are the best; heavy-duty ones with twine handles.
