weather and roofing
May. 11th, 2003 11:01 amLast weekend the weather was nice all weekend. We didn't get it finished, of course, and it rained pretty much all week. Then on friday and saturday, when the weather was nice, I was gone. (Boy Scout leader training) Today, it's not raining, but we've got thirty mile-an-hour winds. Not only does that make it difficult to do the work, but it might damage the part that's left partly done.
I'm mad at myself for leaving it that way. I saw some shingles hanging over an edge, and I decided to to start cleaning up, and trim them later. By the time I remembered to do them, the ladders were already down.

Trying to cut back on LJ time. Hoping to find a break in the weather, to mow the lawn. Have to find time to help with remodeling (a roof).

Nuclear weapons are bad. Very bad. I don't say this in the sense that all weapons are bad. We know weapons are designed to kill people, but nuclear weapons are worse than that.
Conventional weapons kill people. They injure and maim people. Nuclear weapons have other effects that do far worse. The radiation hangs around. Radiation has long-term effects. It's one thing to suffer a missing limb or two, but quite another to get cancer. Or have your kids get cancer. Or your children have birth defects. Or having no chance to rebuild after the war, because your land will be a barren wasteland for the next several thousand years.
Using nuclear weapons is wrong. Evil. (Have I ever used that word before?)

Maybe they'll make them small enough to leave no radiation behind?
I wonder if some government sponsors are working on some sort of environmental radiation cleanup technique?
