Since so many people have pointed out that my new refrigerator was being delivered on 06/06/06, I just wanted to verify for everyone that no other-worldly properties are appearing on film.
There were some very other-worldly things living behind the old Frigidaire, but nothing that some hot water and a mop wouldn't take care of.
In any event, I somehow doubt that the "mark of the beast" is "Kenmore Frost-Free."
Meanwhile: Almanac entries are likely to be light this week, because I'm very busy ... in part on a Very Special Update to Tube City Online that's been a long time coming.
In other TCO housekeeping news, the For Visitors section is finally getting a major update.
Also, there's a new item in the gift shop ... 1940s-style "Greetings From McKeesport" postcards!
(Try to restrain your enthusiasm.)
Hey, nice appliance!
06/06/06 was my first day on the new job as a Planning and Zoning Coordinator, and they evacuated the Municipal Building because someone set off pepper spray in the office next door.

Dead ringer for the new fridge I bought a few months ago, except that I have a lot more stuff piled in (and near) the sink than you do.
At least, I think I have a sink here, somewhere under all that crap.
It’s now 06/07/06. Nothing happened. I’m unlocking the deadbolts.

I hope that’s Harvest Gold…
I guess this means the boycott of “Broils” is over. I’ve been avoiding them as best I could since your tale of shoddy treatment at their hands…

I was never really boycotting “Broils,” but I couldn’t be dragged into their auto service department unless my mother was being held at gunpoint. I still buy tools, housewares, etc., there.
I certainly don’t want to be an apologist for them, but I think their auto service departments are operated under license by a different company. It still has their name on it, of course, so they bear some responsibility.
Man, I wish it was harvest gold … or avocado … burnt orange … but it’s just boring old appliance white.
Also, Steven, I appreciate the compliment, but I’m a little uncomfortable with other guys talking about my “appliance.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you …. ;-)

Continuing in this ribald vein, it seems a little big. Do you think you’ll be able to fit it in?
At least this one appears clean and sanitary, unlike the other one…..
