i met this girl yesterday up in the colonia, a very poor area on the island. she and her family were living in a one room place but she was so full of joy. when she saw me she came over for a big hug and greeted me warmly. it was remarkable.. she had nothing but she had everything!
i went up there because the community water is sooooo low that we really don't have enough water to do laundry (hence getting our own well put in .. hopefully soon) it is so dry on the island. but i heard about a lady up there who has a well and did laundry to make a living. i was more then happy to pay her to do my laundry.
i was thankful to meet this girl.
so sweet.
explored... thanks everyone...

#22 : Students excercise
On the front of this clay tablet is part of an incantation or spell against evil spirits written in both Sumerian and Babylonian. On the back the text has been repeated phonetically in Greek script. Students in Babylonia wrote tablets like this to practice their translation.

Here's a sight for sore eyes.
This is the lest Stanley hand pane I have ever owned. It's a low knob no 4, and according to Patrick Leach's type study here...
www.hyperkitten.com/tools/stanley_bench_plane/type_study....
... this one would be a Type 9 as in 1902-1907.
I know people in America have these planes for breakfast. But where i live this is a first and I'd be surprised to find another one in the next five to ten lifetimes.
This one ain't entirely original or unharmed. The cutter is a SW era cutter, but hey, I ain't fretting. The rear handle has cracked and repaired so and so, but it has held together for what seems like half it's age. The front knob has seen damage and a big chip is missing at the base.
The lever cap has probably been used as a screwdriver a few times too many.
But, still. My first low knob Stanley. I feel like I just lost my virginity.
The plane also displays one sign of oddity in therms of placing it dead center in a specific type era.
The Type 9 planes do have the two patent dates cast into the bed. It also has Bailey at the toe. It has the lateral ridge in the base that meets the frog. But the lateral adjuster lever on this Type ought to be void of any patent dates. But nope, this one has the same patent date stamped onto the lever as in the previous Type 8.
Did I just discover another unknown Type? Nope, don't really think so. I guess some of the old Type levers were used in a late type.
This plane has a very gracious feel about it. I haven't fettled a lot, just given it a moderate cleaning and polishing. The cutter is resharpened and it has been taken for short test run on a piece of no brainer Finnish pine.
I do like the feedback. The depth adjusting nut rotates with relative ease despite the smaller size. The lateral adjuster with it's rotating disk is really nice and of course the support of a proper frog does it's own kind of magic. So yes, thumbs up by all means. I think this one's a keeper.
Bridgford beef jerky and sausage meat packing facility was located in Chicago Fulton Market neighborhood. It was recently demolished and more expensive apartments, offices and restaurants will be built here. Bridgford had their operations here since 1975 but they have been in the meat processing and distribution for over 90 years. They moved to the south side of Chicago.

Day 284 of 365 (Year Two)
We watched an episode of Batman today and Poe got all excited thinking he had the perfect Halloween costume. I fell asleep and when I woke up he had done this to us. I'm not entirely sure how he did it, but I'm hoping he can undo it! I explained to him/me that he couldn't use me as part of his costume.
Through a combination of Sebastian's love of all things Italian, reading Under the Tuscan Sun (again), an article in the New York Times Food section on Wine and a review on Kitchen-Apartment Therapy, I simply HAD to try some prosecco this weekend. I found quite the collection at the LCBO at the Atrium on Bay and liked the labels of these two the best (and they didn't have Zardetto which I'd read a TON of reviews on...)
