I second JZ's love of Watters and Watters.

According to my crazy busybody neighbor (as opposed to the crazy russian one who argues loudly with invisible people) the pet food contamination is the terrorists going after our pets.

Just thought you all would want to know that.

She's very sweet, just a bit...off.

And with WordPerfect they had this little template thing you were supposed to place at the top of your keyboard so you knew which function key did what.

I remember that. I think I mostly used vi instead, at the time.

I got my mile swim down to 69 minutes! And I kicked on my stomach for 9 more minutes! Yay!!

Now I have to do my dishes so I can actually eat my dinner. Boo!!

Kathy, my daughter and some friends are doing a mini-trialthalon in July. The swim is only a half a mile, I think you should do it, too. Seriously, that is awesome!

I want to get below 300 before I start doing any competitions. My sister has done some mini-triathalons and finds them a blast--I might join her for one next summer!

We have seltzer! It's called Calistoga! Or Perrier! Or uh the Italian one. Pelligrino!

That's not seltzer. Totally different animal.

Gore's legislative recommendations to the House

1. An immediate "carbon freeze" that would cap U.S. CO2 emissions at current levels, followed by a program to generate 90% reductions by 2050.
2. Start a long-term tax shift to reduce payroll taxes and increase taxes on CO2 emissions.
3. Put aside a portion of carbon tax revenues to help low-income people make the transition.
4. Create a strong international treaty by working toward "de facto compliance with Kyoto" and moving up the start date for Kyoto's successor from 2012 to 2010.
5. Implement a moratorium on construction of new coal-fired power plants that are not compatible with carbon capture and sequestration.
6. Create an "ELECTRANET" -- a smart electricity grid that allows individuals and businesses to feed power back in at prevailing market rates.
7. Raise CAFE standards.
8. Set a date for a ban on incandescent light bulbs.
9. Create "Connie Mae," a carbon-neutral mortgage association, to help defray the upfront costs of energy-efficient building.
10. Have the SEC require disclosure of carbon emissions in corporate reporting, as a relevant "material risk."

Um. I hope there will be some exceptions to #8.

I totally used WordStar! And support NYC-selzer snobbiness. Although I'm not big on the selzer myself. And I also support job- and dress-searchers.

I think that's it.

Oh! And I've already started with the compact fluorescent bulbs! Take THAT, Al Gore!

Why, aurelia? I'm not challenging you, just questioning. Seems like an easy one to me.
