I also had plans for this afternoon but now I can't do them either. I would ask for him to show me code but honestly he is such an a55 I would be afraid of what he would do next. Even if he is proven wrong he can still gum up the works while we prove it. The contractor so far has decided to do what ever he asks, even if it is totally stupid and ridiculous.
    I'd rather be there when inspector is there, that way any issues get settled right then.

          Energy bars. Basically expensive candy bars sold under "healthy food."

          After 14 marathons, etc... I switched off them. Realized I can do better with whole food.

            I've been told by registered dieticians, that after an exhaustive activity like that, it's better to get in a healthy serving of protein rather than the carbs that come from a Clif bar, or its non-union Mexican equivalents. You'd want to eat the Clif bar, or equivalent, before the run, not after.

              Poor wording on my part. I've run 14 marathons, etc, using Clif/energy bars as a pre-race source of fuel before every one of them. I realized I can do a lot better with whole foods this year. I'm looking at bagels, toast with peanut butter, possibly making my own pre-race bar.

                              Dunno how it is elsewhere, but there is a huge increase with timers on the crosswalks/stoplights in MN. Usually it starts at 10-15 seconds, displayed. Helps not only the pedestrians, but also the drivers.

                              Also an increase in the blinking yellow lights for left-turners (yield until you have an opportunity to turn). SO much better than waiting through the next cycle of lights to get the green.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
