Misc. & RIPs

Nothing new on the job front, though I did find out I wasn't chosen by the City to become a secretary in parks & rec (had applied about 6 months ago). Had a little sickness descend -- sore throat, fever -- lasted about two days; am feeling better now, though stamina is still low. Got enough rain yesterday to test out the tarp -- seems to be working well. Got felt and doubled the curtains over the big side window. Also put a swath over the passage between the cab and the cabin. Snug, now. Second light fixture died (not just the bulb, the fixture), so have ordered two new ones. They have lasted two years and cost about 1/3 what fancier ones do, so on balance a good deal.

RIP Dave Brubeck, jazz musician
RIP Oscar Niemeier, architect
