I had a bad day yesterday.  For many other reasons than just the one below,
but I came home, and the contractors installing the new (Velux!) skylights
had to saw open the drywall to fit them in:

Needless to say I'm going to be doing a lot of cleaning alongside the
resumes and interviews.

Fallout, but I didn't like that one)

We could say that Jeffs mountain is, in fact a volcano!  :)

I like Nuclear Fallout, actually :)  Well, everyone complains my layout
modules are always dusty, so this isn't really unexpected.

I started vacuuming up, carefully, after figuring vacuuming made more sense
that washing.  It works well-I have only the handle part of the vacuum, and
use a little plastic net in front of the nozzle tied in place with a rubber
band.  The net came from a bag of marbles from a dollar store.    Only
problem is, the net won't let large pieces of drywall passthrough, so I have
to take it off to suck up large stucco/drywall pieces.  Unfortunately a 2x2
radar dish and a flower managed to fly off my layout and into the vacuum,
but I'll cut the bag open later.
