I don't get it. Are you going to go alone? Or, will you just skip it?

    Okey-dokey. I may try to come home early since I'll have to lug my laptop home on my bike. (I'll bring my bike onto light rail, 'tho.)

Looks like I'm getting a Windows Update today, too.

  This one's pretty much a nightmare. At this rate, I think it will take an hour ⏰. Good thing I can get paid for doing nothing at all...
[no subject], Robert Jun 03 13:57

You can certainly drop off the invoice. I'll be home around 7:15pm. Should I write the check to El Camino Roofing?

Re: SMS From 14086390224 To 1my-Oakland-voicemail-number, Robert Jun 03 14:57

Can I tell him to just knock on the door tomorrow and have you hand the check to them directly (rather than leaving the check somewhere outside)?

I left the check with my wife who is at home.

It's a "no", it's not under the mat and it's a "yes" that my wife has the check ;-).

      Actually, do you think we should do a Adventures in History and Culture event for this?
Re: The Homeless Industrial Complex (fwd), robert Jun 04 17:11

Well, there could be a good argument (not argued below, obviously) that it's public transportation which produces housing, not the other way around.

      You're right. Looks like driving from my work to this place is a nightmare on Friday afternoons. Let's try to leave by 5pm. Could you be at my work by 4:55pm and call me at my work number?

      I'll expect you around 4:55pm. Call my work desk number. If I don't hear from you, I'll call you.

I would doubt it. I had no problem bringing up the site on your phone. Just send the link to Helen again. Sometimes people just don't understand it the first time.

      Good. We should go for it, then. We should make sure our address is only given upon request.

  Below is the message I sent. The only way this could've got lost is that it went into your graymail. (I checked your Trash. I also checked that my system actually sent the message.) Are you sure you didn't get any graymail notifications yesterday or today?...

      Found the problem with the missing/lost emails. Looks like it was a bug in my script on your computer. I anticipate that, going forward, you won't be losing any emails.

      I did. However, that still doesn't explain the ones that were lost going to Google. That remains a mystery.
