The general has received praise from the administration's harshest critics over handling of the New Orleans situation, including the city's ( Read more... ) -
pettiness report
So I find that everything I've been saying and doing for the last few days is just so petty. I mean really. What do I have to worry about?
But I'm not sure how not to be petty. I've donated to the Red Cross now I feel I should just get the heck out of the way and let the professionals do their job. I always feel that if someone is better ( Read more... ) -
hell on earth
When some hospitals try to airlift patients, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesan said, "there are people just taking potshots at police and at helicopters, telling them, `You better come get my family.'"Now I am not agreeing with the looting and the shooting going on down in Katrina's wake, but the statement above at least put the shooting in ( Read more... ) -

I found kzoo's library could be described as snobby, standoffish, no loitering, etc. Plus, the rarely had anything I needed.

summer doom.
This has been a crappie day. It's been one of those days where if Jesus himself burst through my living room wall like the Hawaiian Punch guy, I would not be surprised, and probably a little put out. The mistake was that I left the windows open last night. What started out as a nice cool evening (for once) turned into a big old- ratt-ily storm, ( Read more... ) -
deceptive sprinklers
The sprinklers are deceptive here. I walk along the pavement and I swear I smell a fresh rain. But no, it's just some apt complex watering their lawn, the better to keep their residents and attract new ones. It's just the mite bit depressing. I started driving around without refilling my windshield wiper fluid reservoir because it kept ( Read more... )
