A whole lot of people are extolling the wonderfulness that is spring and longer days and such.

As someone that has to wake up and leave for work at o'dark thirty, these longer days really mess with me...as in "Crap, it's 6:45p, we haven't had dinner yet, and my optimum bed time is between 8 and 9."

I have so much chocolate candy in this house, and now I want Starburst.
Anybody want candy canes? We have a few left from Christmas.
2018. They’re still good.

Recently my mom got a radon test done at her house in Ames, and it was above the threshold. This got me thinking, so I went ahead and got one done at my place by a professional. Results came back at 6.2; EPA recommendation is under 4. So I'll be getting a radon mitigation system, especially with a baby on the way.

Iowa has a high rate of radon, so if this is something you haven't had tested, you might want to consider it.

Do they test only the lowest level or is it done in the living space of a home?

Not exactly sure.
Got into the old work blazer today. Oldest taking a study break and we are going to grab some downspout extenders to reach over the seeded ground last fall. Get in, pull the door shut and watch the driver side mirror fall off. It’s a power mirror so it’s just hanging there. Man this thing is starting to eat money.
