Fargo
Newsflash: Fargo and Bunbert got on so swimmingly that Fargo moved in on Sunday. Five minutes later they were tearing each other's fur out and they've been separated ever since. They'll get over it.

And now...the energy audits
My new hobby shall be the scientific quantification of "Greener Than Thou". I will be performing energy audits for any friend of mine who dares. My only payment, enjoyment of your feelings of ecological guilt. I shall be the stern priestess of green, the nun of sustainability, the reverend of r-value. Everybody will fear (and despise) me. Mostly, they will just avoid me because they will eventually notice I've been wearing the same exact outfit for 6 months.
Pearl is first! See you this weekend Pearl.
I guess this means I need to report on my own efforts. Ok, look forward to:
1. Insulation updates -- increasing my daily intake of fiberglass
2. Tankless water heater -- how I reduced spider habitat in my basement AND saved electricity
3. Caulking and expando-foam -- the fun never ends AND never comes off your hands
4. Calculating how much money to stuff into your mattress. While not a specific energy conservation topic, less energy use makes for mattress-bound bucks.

Bunbert gets a bill of health
That's probably clean.
Bunbert got fixed. Bunbert 1.0 had cancer, apparently. I never thought I would get so attached to a silly thing which people mistake for a rodent but which is really a lagomorph (whatever that is, a rabbit) and NOT a rat. Anyway, the vet had me convinced she was going to DIE SOON (and preferably expensively). I had to wait almost two weeks for this follow up to get x-rays of her lungs, where cancer typically moves from the uterus. The lungs looked clean, except for a spot that probably is nothing and he'll have a radiologist look at. Since when are there veterinary radiologists? I guess since now. But he thinks she's clean and my office can resume normal operations. Yay.
Bunbert 2.0. Cancer free (probably) and hoppy as ever.
