Links and Minifeatures 07 25 Wednesday

I went home last night intending to schedule a post for this morning. Only my home internet was down. I tried piggybacking on the public library's wireless with my laptop, and they were down as well. It was still down this morning. So that's why there wasn't a post this morning at the usual time. There will be one tomorrow.

Next week, my wife is going to be out of town at a conference, which means I'm on my own with a seven year old and a not quite three year old. The younger's day care is close to my wife's office, over fifteen miles out of my way on freeways heavily impacted at rush hour. It's going to take over two hours out of my day just to drop her off and pick her up - never mind trying to run errands with two children, one of which is in the middle of terrible twos. New articles are likely to be non-existent until I recover from that.

Sometimes, the little things mean a lot. One of the sharper escrow providers I've worked with sent me an email this morning after we closed a deal on Monday

You are a very good agent who takes care of your clients as if they were family.

Okay, so I'd rather have a referral from a client. It's still a good thing when a fellow professional who's earned my respect notices and takes a few seconds to tell me.

House Democrats Pass Contempt Citations

Is there anyone who doesn't believe that the whole thing was partisan political point scoring right from the very beginning?

A pox upon both their houses. Again or still.

Stumble It!

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
