altivoShow preparations. Making out an entry form for each skein or item to be displayed, describing the techniques and fibers used. I was thinking I hadn't prepared well this year, but as usual I had more ready than I thought, having forgotten about the items set aside for the show way back last winter. The cotton scarf from the dyed poonies is still only partly finished, but I'll have it done in time. I can put in the entry form and pay the fee tomorrow, and turn the scarf in as late as September 27. Two more skeins, one of pure cashmere and the other cashmere with silk, need to be plied and wound, which I can get done tomorrow morning before the meeting if I don't finish tonight. That job takes only about 15 to 20 minutes per skein.
Fewer entries for the weaving show, as usual. Those don't have to be finished until the 29th, when they are turned in for judging. The entry forms must be filed online by the 24th. No problem. One item needs hemming by hand. The other is designed but won't go onto the loom until this weekend. I still expect to complete it in time.
Heavy rains predicted for this weekend, and we are under a flood watch. Fuel prices jumped by 25 cents a gallon today, after a ten cent increase at the beginning of the week. I imagine the excuse is the hurricane, but where do they get off anticipating that? The supply they are selling today was delivered days ago. It didn't cost extra because of the hurricane or refineries that hadn't yet been shut down. Moreover, the price of crude has continued to drop. When the price of crude goes up, they immediately raise the pump price even though it takes weeks or months for the raw material to get to the pump. But when the price of crude drops, it has no effect on the pump price at all, apparently.

Date: 2008-09-13 07:50 pm (UTC)I figured the latest increase here was "because of the hurricane." Must be what's going on there too.
Forget the electric car. I want one that's powered by hot air from politicians. Or maybe just gas from ground up politicians allowed to ferment a bit. They seem to have an endless supply, and there's no shortage of politicians that I've noticed, so it seems like an obvious solution.
