I also watched another GREY'S ANATOMY episode from Season 1, the one featuring the man who had shot himself in the head seven times with a nail gun. I had seen it once before, but it was a good show.

Next came tonight's UGLY BETTY. I really enjoyed tonight's episode, and I like that Betty is losing a bit of her naivete and realizes that the snakes at her job just aren't going to change and are not looking out for her best interests.

Loved GREY'S ANATOMY, of course, with surprises abounding and my tears flowing freely.

One note of discontent (not related to the content of the show). Twice the idiot engineer at our local affiliate broke into the program's last 10 minutes with a bumper about an upcoming news report and then quickly realized his mistake and went back to the show, but it was VERY intrusive and mood-bursting. Already fired off a note to the station, but luckily GREY'S gets another run tomorrow night so I'll rewatch to get the full effect of the climactic scenes.

CSI had one of its most brutal and disconcerting episodes tonight concerning a gang of punks raoming the streets of Vegas beating down tourists just for kicks.

Between this and last night's CSI: NY (which I watched this afternoon), it's getting somewhat harder to watch the violence in these shows back-to-back. Thankfully, they aren't all pitched at this high a degree of on-screen violence.

Nice to see you back here after a couple of days away, DR Ron. Welcome back!

I forgot all about SURVIVOR tonight! And haven't even watched last night's JERICHO (is anyone else watching it? It is pretty good!).

Are they mad re what they're charging for the special benefit performance of CHICAGO for its 10th anniversary? $500 for the rear mezzanine?

I'll get off my soapbox now.

Heading off to bed now.

Good night!

TCB, did you check out Paolo Conte, the Italian singer on the S&V CD?

It is sitting on top of the CD player in my car waiting for me to remember to play it on my way to work some morning. The fact that I go to work at 5:45 a.m. may explain why I have not yet remembered to put in the player.

DakotaCelt, I don't mean to sound heartless and I am sympathetic to the disabled, but that bookstore has been there for years! To make it disabled-friendly would be prohibitively expensive for them. It's one thing when one is building a new store and these considerations should be taken in, older buildings and businesses have to have some leeway.

You can stay up there if you want to...you're making sense to me...

I'm quite full o' food. Am watching a very entertaining movie, which I'd always heard was terrible.

I have been watching that show on the ABC site. It is an interesting show and I have been enjoying it. It is based on a Colombian Telenovela.

NDSU landscaping and architecture programs have been busy the last few months...

They were involved in the Extreme Home Makeover this past summer and tomorrow they will be putting up a Lustron house.

Lustron house to be rebuilt
Herald Staff Report
Published Thursday, October 12, 2006
· The Grand Forks "Lustron" house is ready to go up.

The metal home, which was disassembled and removed from its original home on Lincoln Drive after the 1997 flood, is going to be rebuilt at the Myra Museum on Friday, with help from NDSU construction management, interior design and landscape architecture students.

The house, a steel Lustron-brand kit house erected in the late 1940s, is one of only about 2,500 such steel houses sold nationwide in the years after World War II. They were designed as affordable housing for returning soldiers.

As many as 25 Lustron homes were built in North Dakota, including one in Fargo and another in Finley.

The historical significance of the home meant the city was required to put it back together after it was removed from Lincoln Drive. The museum board agreed to make the home a permanent part of the facility.

It's been about five years since the 1,200-square-foot, single-story, three-bedroom house was taken down. In 2001, it was put into storage to wait until the flood protection project was completed.

The home is made almost completely of steel, with the exception of the concrete foundation, floor slab and some copper piping. It has walls made of three layers: an outer layer of steel panels, a middle layer of insulation and an inner layer of steel panels finished in porcelain enamel.

It took about nine full days of work to disassemble the home in 2001.

Friday, the Myra Museum on Belmont Road and 24th Avenue South will host a Lustron "house-raising" event. The public is welcome to attend

I understand your point :-)

No bad feelings good sir.
