Espola's newest neighborhood

espola said:
In 1968 my parents moved to a house that had been first built in 1843 and to which several modifications had been made over the years. We were told that at one time it was a doctor's office and residence. We used it as a 5-bedroom, 2-bath house with central hot-water-radiator heating, 2 fireplaces that had been converted to electric heat bulbs that were no longer available on the market, and a big coal-burning stove in the kitchen (for heat and breadmaking). After they sold it in 1987, the new owner converted it to a 7-bedroom, 3-bath B&B, complete with commercial kitchen and gift shop. Now my siblings and I are in discussion with a historian who is trying to gather data as the place is being converted to an art museum with space upstairs for a local web-only radio station.

We made the papers, with the house described as "former Paul and Pauline Henry home" - my parents.

Right on schedule --

The passenger-side outside door latch on my 96 Toyota T100 pickup broke on Sunday. I remembered that I had the same problem with the driver-side latch a while back and after a couple of futile attempts to fix or bypass the break with glue and wire, I bought a replacement part through Amazon and had it installed in an hour or so. This morning I found the old order on the Amazon website, and was surprised to learn that I had ordered that part exactly 4 years ago to the day - July 17, 2014.

Nobody is laughing at you.
I promise.
 
Comic-Con was not formally open yet yesterday afternoon, but even so I was accosted by a quasi-religious group in the Gaslamp area handing out leaflets and chanting to "Save Godzilla".
 
Perhaps a side-effect of aluminum tariffs? Today at the recycling center the rate for CRV aluminum cans is $1.90/lb, the highest I have ever seen.
