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

Woman on oxygen dies after power cut off

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A 44-year-old woman who needed an electric oxygen pump to breathe died after an energy company cut the power to her home because of an unpaid bill, her family claimed Wednesday.

Police said they had launched an investigation into Folole Muliaga’s death, which happened within two hours of state-owned company Mercury Energy cutting power to her house Tuesday.

...

A Mercury Energy representative arrived on Tuesday at her home in the northern city of Auckland to disconnect the electricity, said Brenden Sheehan, Muliaga’s nephew-in-law.

Sheehan said both Muliaga and her son told the technician she was dependent on the oxygen machine to stay alive and invited him into the house to see it. “Then he cut the power off,” Sheehan told The Associated Press.

Muliaga began having difficulty breathing, became faint and then collapsed, he said. Paramedics were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead within two hours of the power being cut.

Seriously, Mr. Jane's coworker left yesterday for London.

The sad thing is that the closest I've been to London is a layover in Heathrow, so I've never seen the Rosetta stone. Code of Hammurabi and Michelangelo's David, sure.

Now there's a first world problem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, of course, you know what song I have in my head now?

Carolina in My Mind.

Speaking of hanging out with Helen Mirren, did you see this [link] (scroll down) on GoFugYourself? Hee!

FABULOUS!!!! I would go gay for her. As long as Becks was there. Okay, he doesn't have to be there, but it would be a real bonus.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Don't come here. It's hot.

On the plus side, it's dunk-a-librarian day.

I bet! Given it's 80 here.

Anyway, as much as I love James Taylor, today I am NOT going to Carolina in my mind.

I am aggravated with the people I work with. I'm having to do way too much handholding, and it's making me nuts.
