* The Grounding Wire replacement will likely be 50ish, but could go higher if the car's anatomy is awkward. Yes, I know about clipping the corroded bits and stripping it lower. Problem is, it's been done so often there is no more slack.

Apparently all the tooing and froing ruined the last good triple headed connector cable, and the one on back up DvD player was barely working. Now neither do, so I'm back to the crap one embedded in the TV unless I can find another one somewhere around the apartment not in use.

I got Squirrel to come with me upstairs to dig into the back of the storage unit. I have rescued three of the four boxes I've been looking for. I can do final sort and eventually get my iving room back, hopefully by Summer's end.

* I got polled this evening. It was clearly market research for attack ads for the senate primary coming up. (My state does a kind of primary where everybody runs in the same one and top too go on to the November election.) It was either for or against Ms. Hutchinson who is running against Sen. Cantwell, but I can't tell you which. I'm pretty sure the pollster was against from the way I got her to betray a laugh here and there. Ah, election season.

I don’t know how soon till I’m in a box on the end table of some crying man’s bed, but until then… that love and that promise are who I claim to be." Pray Tell in in Pose 1.06 Love is the Message

* I think I've put my finger on Ben Whishaw's particular charm. In most of his roles, he has this enthralling combination of strength and vulnerability. So many of his characters have it: a sort of luminous openness, and the steel spine underneath that means they are strong enough to take the pain and damage the world so often inflicts on those who are brave enough to live with so much of themselves on display.

The connector cable you need? Is it the white-yellow-red on both ends one, or that on one end and something else on the other? Or something else? We have a whole thing of cables I've been meaning to sort through, so I might have an extra one lying around.

[gwydion]

Yes, the the white-yellow-red on both ends one. I'd love to have you extra.
