But the RSS feed or the sidebar or something here sucks and it is for some reason not showing the updated version here. I messed around with it and gave it every URL it could possibly want, and it either gives me no list, an old list that is way outdated, or a newer but not correct list. I give up. If you want to know what stuff we have to sort out, click on one of the things there.
And of course once I published this the list is now there and complete albeit not in the order of importance. Oh well.

A random thing that has me worried about moving away from SF (well, besides the state of food in general, the availability of vegetarian food, and the availability of the wine and cheese I love around here): bread. Even if DC in general puts me that much closer to the best bread ever, the chocolate bread from Balthazar in New York, still, I worry. What about everyday regular bread?
I know that Uptown or Firehook have OK loaf bread in even if Uptown’s retail location in Cleveland Park is closed,
but what about sliced bread? The as-we-call-it “squirrel nut bread” (yes, we are hippies) we eat for breakfast in the morning is what I mean…we keep it frozen in the freezer and then toast it as needed and it is good with peanut butter or even just butter. The Whole Foods (Foodses?) in DC have been pretty dire for decent sliced loaf bread in the past. Yeah, you can get some cardboardy “wheat” bread with an icky crust sliced there, but it is gross. We need Alvarado Street Bakery bread!
Whole Foods in DC needs to get on that. But luckily, in the meantime, Alvarado delivers. I love you, internet. Thank god for the multitude of freezers in the house….

Just got off the phone with USAA and am trying to understand the fun and delightful world of homeowners insurance. More info here.
Also, think about the stuff here.
Things we need to find out for a better estimate:
1- is there a firewall between us and next door?
2- what amperage is the house?
3- what pipe material is the house?
