Long pants and short posts

Amanda asked me before I left SF to post a picture of myself in my work clothes, and Dilys, one of my many faithful readers (ha!), has observed that all my posts seem really long, so I´ll try to keep both of them happy. So here goes, with a picture of me on the way to work and a post that´s more "The Death of Ivan Ilych" than "War and Peace."
When I started renovating apartments this week the first order of business was getting me a pair of work pants and steel-toed shoes. The T-shirt is my own:

I have to say I like the pants. They´re very comfortable and very blue with lots of pockets for all the stuff I get to carry around. You can see the folding meterstick and that flat pencil carpenters use so it doesn´t roll off the table and distract them while they´re operating some deadly power tool called the Decap-O-Matic. You can´t see some of the more interesting items, including a work-issue knife that has to be over the legal length here. It certainly would be in California.
