Virtual Home & Appliance Repair
|
|
With the Coronavirus still a very real concern, many homeowners are leery to invite workers into their homes. Yet with the increased amount of time spent at home, appliances, fixtures and home systems are being taxed more than usual. Fortunately, there are options that allow for the virtual diagnosis of a problem, as well as assistance walking homeowners through simple repairs, eliminating the need to have a repair person enter your home all together. If a repair is beyond the skills of the homeowner, a list of local professionals capable of making the repair can be provided.

Five Feet High and Rising: The Geology and History of Great Floods, July 23 & 30, 1:30 - 3 pm.
Floods are awesome spectacles and are an essential part of the shaping of our landscape. All the geologic processes of rivers are on display during floods. Hydrogeologist Joe Haberfeld will introduce the stream processes which transport water and sediment during normal flow and during floods.
We will look at some of the great floods in American history and around the world. Not all floods are due to rivers overflowing their banks and not all are due to natural causes. Coastal storms, glaciers, and volcanic eruptions can bring flooding, while man-made structures designed to protect against flooding have failed causing great loss of life and property.
This is a 2 session class. Register one time only and you are registered for both sessions.
To register for the class, click here.
A Zoom link to join the event will be emailed to you the day before the class.

It's time to get back at the Queen of Hearts by beheading words that start with "Qu"
.
In this case, you remove the first TWO letters and still have a valid word.
You will be given clues for the two words, longer word first. For example: British pound -> Part of the psyche; Answer: the words Quid and Id. Here are your clues:
1. Stop doing -> That thing
2. Peculiar behavior -> Annoy
3. Subatomic particle -> Large boat
4. Unit of liquid measure -> Product of creativity
5. Small game bird -> To be unwell
6. Large feather; pen -> Unwell; faulty
7. Nausea; uncomfortable -> Simple
8. Misgivings; scruples -> Donations to the poor
