Timelies all!
Argh, the vacuum cleaner died in the middle of my vacuuming. Since the vacuuming =has= to get done tonight(my parents arrive tomorrow) I had to go buy a new one.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

I know nothing about radon. Our house is so drafty that 100% of the air turns over every 2 hours. That house cannot ever have a radon problem. (It is possibly the only problem the house cannot have.)

My cat is staring out a window, probably watching the rabbits gnawing on my garden. Serves me right for not letting him out in the evening to chase the rabbits, squirrels, deer, cars, semi trucks, etc.
I'm watching Law and Order: UK. Apollo will be serving up the baddies for Martha Jones to prosecute any minute now.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
That's...wierd about the radon. If it were before you moved in/after you moved in I would assume that the before was a false negative due to someone opening doors or windows during the testing process. Did you improve the insulation since moving in? Anything that keeps gasses trapped inside will increase radon levels.

the house has been shut since we have been away and the furnace wasn't operational for ~2 weeks. But the basement has a door that almost always has been closed the whole time.

Dude, who knew I could like a conservative blogger?
America will survive another Obama term, just as it survived eight years of George W. Bush. Likewise, it could survive four or eight years of Romney if it came to that. This is not because any of these administrations have been or will be right in most of what they’re doing, but because America is not so fragile or pathetic that its survival can be seriously jeopardized by the mismanagement of its political class.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, went to this event after work and it was disappointing. Although I did get my mother a Christmas present. But I skipped the second rehersal of my chorus tonight because I had this ticket before I joined the chorus, and now I want to skip next week, too, because my mother will be out of town. I'm afraid they will kick me out!

From Suela's link:
a decline in triumphalist boasting does not mean that patriotism is in decline
It's so sad that I'm shocked at how reasonable this statement is!

That's because he talks like an old school conservative, not a Neocon.

Being kicked out would suck. Would they do that?
Thunderstorms here today. Always exciting. I just turned the heat on am burning off the dust I hope.
