We were glued to the TV screen just now, with the emergency landing. It was quite spectacular, and I'm flying JetBlue from now on.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The state Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities has ordered the closing of what it calls two unlicensed personal care facilities run by a Christian group that counsels gays to give up homosexuality.

Additionally, it has been revealed by former Love In Action victim Peterson Toscano that Love In Action's leader, John Smid, is misleading clients by falsely claiming to be a reverend. In fact, Smid has no such credentials and is not the holy man he purports to be.

Our wings are not tired.

Glad they didn't interrupt Lost for the landing. I'll have to catch it later. Also, Jet Blue rocks.

I watched the landing with crossed fingers and toes. Kudos to the pilots.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

One more word on BP and BC. When my BP went up recently ( to killer levels) My doctor said she wouldn't take me off BC pills unless I didn't respond well to medication.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen outgrew his bucket car seat at six months. So we started using the regular stroller part of the travel system then. On our Graco, you could tuck up the edge of the seat and recline it all the way back, anyway--it was nearly a pram.

Which one do you have? We have a Metrolite.

Lily still fits in it, but with the increased ass size (thanks to cloth diapering), it's a little more snug than it would be otherwise.

That's the one. I was loathe to give up the bucket seat. My friend's daughter was petite enough to stay in it until she was 11 months old. I took O to his six month appointment in his and my ped said, "you know he's outgrowing that thing, don't you?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

TIDES ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING NEAR NORMAL ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA COASTS IN THE AREAS AFFECTED BY KATRINA. TIDES IN THOSE AREAS WILL INCREASE UP TO 3 TO 4 FEET OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH LARGE WAVES ON TOP AND RESIDENTS THERE COULD EXPERIENCE FLOODING.

This is from NOAA regarding Rita. (sigh)

My dad is not too worried about New Orleans, and he thinks we'll be okay here.
