ION - a boy just got hurt the playground. Fell backwards off a ladder and an ambulance had to be called. They have just loaded him up. Oh man, I hope nothing is broken.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Oh, poor thing. I hope he's OK.
I am enjoying my day watching a viewers' choice STNG marathon on Sci-fi and getting up to walk the (borrowed) dog every few hours. It's kind of awesome. Beautiful day out there, too.
At some point there is to be desk cleaning/organizing. We'll see.

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

My fave is the one with the smiling American soldier about to drop a North Korean baby down a well, while the baby's mother watches in horror. Or else the one with the woman feeding the goat.

Ooof. I feel sorry for Palin's daughter, because I wonder if there was really any other choice. I mean...sure. Maybe she wanted to have the baby and marry the father. At 17. But with your mom being governor and pro-life and now running for VP, if you wanted to have an abortion and never see the father again, was there really any chance that was going to happen? Or whatever, among your many other choices. But I hope she's happy. It certainly does shut down the grandchild rumors, no way she could've had the other one if she's currently five months pregnant!

The oldest son, Trey, is in the military, I believe. It was said that he was about to do an Iraq tour and I assume they have pulled as much info about him off public databases as they can probably with media assistance, to prevent him and his unit from becoming a target for any insurgent group looking to make a name for itself...

msbelle is very wise.
And how awesome is it that Buffistas have such connections? Go Sparky!

Crap.
So far the levees are holding, but they are overtopped by the storm surge. Not a levee failure yet. But the pumps are supposedly are all on backup power because main systems have already failed.
The Army Corp of Engineers always had stated that the levees could take a direct hit by a Cat 3. This is a glancing blow by a Cat 2. It shouldn't be this damn close!
Here's hoping all of the reports of cost cutting and single bidding for the levee and pump repair by the ACE was exaggerated....

Yeah. At five months, I hope that's an indication that she intended to keep it anyway (though for a young girl in an ardently pro-life family, I don't that you can assume), but I get a definite shot-gun wedding vibe off of this, which is unfortunate.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I heard the news about the Palin kid and the levees both. Still crossing my fingers for all of them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
On the lighter side of things, I've had to skip a lot lately. Have we talked about Spaghetti cat here?
