Operational Update on Gideon's Chariots

Results of Operation Gideon's Chariots II:

  • The IDF has achieved operational control of about 75% of the Gaza Strip.
  • About 18.5 miles of terror tunnels have been destroyed.
  • Around 2,000 terrorists have been eliminated.
  • The "Morag" and "Magen Oz" corridors have been established which greatly reduces Hamas ability to maneuver and operate.

Hot Cases to watch part 3

Added a couple of new developments in Civil Rights Dept. v. Cathy's Creations case:

  • 02/11/25: California Court of Appeal reverses trial court's ruling saying that Cathy Miller did discriminate based on sexual orientation and remands the case to the lower courts for ruling. ref
  • 03/20/25: The Becket Fund appeals the Fifth Appellate District's ruling to the California Supreme Court. ref

Now that I have better resources, I can fill in a few missing dates in the development of this case.  The most recent ones have just been added.

Memo

Odd question, but what is the goal of home improvement?

I suppose part of it is that home improvement is an end unto itself in that I can further develop my handyman skills and become an artist in the craft.  The other part is to be able to rest.  By rest I mean read, and play games, but at the appropriate time and for the appropriate amount of time.  It's no fun doing one to the exclusion of the other.  Some of the items on the home improvement list that I wrote are for my peace of mind and others are optional, but also for fun.

Happy to say that I assembled the two shelves and was able to do a fair amount of organization of the basement.  Friday is the next big day to try and get things done.

Interesting.  I just discovered several bugs/error messages when creating a new entry in New and Recently Updated, but not when I am editing something under New and Recently Updated.  I'll have to look into that later.

Home Improvement List


9/28/25 2:36pm Sunday
The list of things to do with the house is ongoing.  I'm listing it here for easy reference.

  1. Remove tree 1
  2. Remove tree 2
  3. Remove two piles of branches
  4. Tune up AC unit
  5. Seal basement (big project)
    • wall
    • floor
  6. Assemble two shelves ✔
  7. Install basement door
  8. Seal AC/Heating in basement
  9. Fix foundation sections outdoors (how many?)
  10. Fix bathroom Fans (2)
  11. Seal porch
  12. Tune up deck
  13. Roommate(?)
  14. Insulate basement
  15. Install Dryer
  16. Install Washer
  17. Extend Gas lines (2)
  18. Get Lawnmower
  19. Get/Build Shed
  20. Unlisted item
  21. Finish moving items from previous residence (mats, clothes, and books from garage)

I'd say those are all of the really important things.  I'd like to be able to get all, or at least most of it done, within 5 years.

Highlighted items are projects that I want to get done preferably this week or month.  I'll probably reorder the list or even change it periodically.
