Special Election for US Senate - Second Poll

[ron_newman]

Three weeks ago, I posted a poll that resulted in a dead heat -- 32 votes each for Capuano, Coakley, and Undecided. Since then, we've had several televised debates and lots more news coverage, so let's see if the Undecided voters have settled on a choice by now. This LJ poll will remain open until the real poll closes next Tuesday at 8 pm.

As before, please feel free to leave comments telling us why you support your candidate (or oppose another candidate).

[Poll #1494259]

redbones, $15 gets you $30!

It is like they heard my complaint (ok, small whine) yesterday that they (vague 'they') hadn't been offering anything up Davis way for a while. in a sort of meta way, because *today's* Groupon (yesterday's post was about a Living Social deal) is $15 for $30 at Redbones.

GIMME A WHEE.

It's good for a year, and good on anything at the place, including the beer on tap. You can buy as many as you'd like.

Mmmm.

Wainwright Bank Update

One of the managers at the Davis Sq branch called today, and since I happened to be in the neighborhood I went in. I blogged about this conversation here. The short version:

Maria was extremely polite and apologetic. She refunded my fees, and offered to help me set up a line of credit to protect against future overdrafts if I would keep banking with them. But she also defended the banks’ actions in processing my debits out of order as a) unavoidable – “that’s just how the system is set up” – and b) legitimate because they were legal.

I am glad that they've come around to doing the right thing for me in this instance. I hope they'll go further and reform this practice for all their customers, not just the squeaky wheels.

December meetup + random question

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone,

Due to the end of the year holidays (and traveling, etc.) we will not be having a DS meetup for December. I'll see you all next year! :).

Now for a random question...has anybody seen Santa hats for sale in Davis Square? I'd like to pick one up tonight.

Anyone want a mop head?

[teratomarty.livejournal.com]

I bought this mop head at Tags and threw away the packaging before I realised that it doesn't actually fit the mop I have. Oh well. Can anyone use it? It's 13" long (the spine at the back is 12") and it's a slide-in roller mop sort. Casabella brand, never used on account of how it doesn't fit my *#%@#&'d mop.

From Blog

Send me a PM if you wish it. Pick it up at my house, just outside Davis, this weekend.

Secondhand Clarinet?

My little brother wants an alto clarinet for Christmas, preferably used.

I know nothing about musical instruments. Can someone recommend a good shop to purchase one? Either a local store or a reputable web site would be fine.
