Apparently the picture on my new id badge at work uses the same way-to-close angle that I posted last week. At least I don’t look like a zombie in That one.

credit rating
obtw, Dave Ramsey fans, credit ratings apparently matter again.
My credit rating has changed from fabulous to zero because I haven’t borrowed in 3 years. Churchill Mortgage has a page dedicated to the effort that it takes to get around having no credit rating. And it’s a hassle.
So, we’re looking at paying an extra 10% on a car so as to convince the credit union that we can handle debt. Again.

Driving

I did 700 miles of driving today. Jenny’s mom’s mom is turning 80 and we’re in Michigan to eat some food with her.
I’m I little zombified by a day behind the wheel.

Lose it
The wonderful folks at FitNow released LoseIt for Android phones. That’s the calorie tracking program I used to drop 60 pounds. Now I’m just going to use it to drop the five or six I’ve gained since then.

Insurance
With the job change, I’m living without insurance this month. Not an easy thing to say to the pharmacist. They’re taking care of me but I still felt like I had to reassure him that I’d have insurance next month.
And, naturally, I did something to my neck/back muscles over the weekend that’s still causing me pain. I didn’t do anything that unusual but ouch!

Mushrooms!

This is a mushroom I saw today. Apparently it uses gills to distribute spores.

huh
Every once in a while I get the urge to start up a hackerspace in the area. I was idly looking for cheap office space in the area and found some down near the river. Google Street View gave me an interesting picture. Apparently there’s a company called Wizard Works in Albany which makes waterpark features like huge water cannons for amusement parks.
