Come on DR DB, you don't really think the golf course needed those weeds, or the guy should go to jail for cutting them down.

[Jane]

DR Ann-Ugh!  At least you have a wet/dry vac.  I have never had the luxury of one.

...(and how many people actually check to see that the fifty actually drops off?).

Well, if you're fortunate as I am, to have an account that provides you with real-time on-line access to your account, it's easy to keep up.

And I do mean real-time - not end-of-business day recap.

We don't either, but it's only about $25 to rent a RugDoctor from Safeway.

What a gloriously glorious lazy day I'm having.  I need to do this every now and then, I must say.

I didn't watch the whole clip, but it seems he was cutting things that were not his, and he should be sent to his room (jail seems a bit harsh!). I know I am in constant contention with my neighbors over my "weeds". The natual blackberry bushes that provide much pleasure to the birds are "weeds"; the swamp grass, clover, goldenrod and dandilions that anchor my bank are "weeds". They prefer I plant my lot with non-native invasive species, burn up energy and lower the water table by drenching the lot, and fertilize regularly with polutants that run into the protected marsh land - then keep it all nice and tidy running a polutant belching, noise poluting, lawn machine. And it's lucky I don't own a gun, or I'd use it on those idiots with their leaf blowers!

Apparently, this production of Silk Stockings has a re-jiggered book by, I think, Stuart Ross.  I'll have a full report tomorrow night.

Made some eggs and an English muffin.  Not sure what else I'll eat later, but I'll definitely have to have something.

Finished watching Parking, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

Some sort of fritter might be tasty.

Mr Gadget returned today with 6 qt pressure cooker. The store had it marked down a third and he gets an employee 5% discount on top of that.

With all the Sous-Vide cooking going on on Iron Chef America I expect his letter to Santa will mention a vacuum sealer and a constant-temeperature immersion circulator.

From the You Can't Win department:

President's Elect are expected to hold their peace on current legislation until they take office.

Sitting Senators are expected to speak their mind on current legislation.

Finding fault will be so easy.

DR dB - You certainly enjoy playing Devil's Advocate, don't you?

Just had my flight booked, so I'm feeling much better about that.  After it was booked, I called Continental and gave them my claustrophobe spiel, and they changed my seat to aisle seats closest to the front, so that's good.  Now all I need is a place to stay and an invite from FJL for Thanksgiving

Having to pump my own gas is the ONLY thing I dislike about visiting Los Angeles. Everything smells all gassy afterwards.

I don't know how you all can stand doing it all the time.

PS: DR Elmore, actually most of our gas station attendents here look like dope addicts (but then I do live in the bad part of town).

I remember when I used to get $2 worth of regular for the WHOLE week, in my 1968 Rambler American.

I am SO sorry you have to deal with that basement, DR Ann!  I just went through something very similar.  It ain't fun, and can't be easy for you with Toby in tow, either.

[singdaw]

DR JRand57, did they call you the RAMBLIN' MAN?

Oddly enough, having to LET someone else pump my gas always weirds me out when I go down to Oregon.  I prefer to do it myself.

LOL yes, they did.

Wet basement vibes for DR ANN and JED and TOBY.....what an ordeal with the doctor....sometimes I wonder why some people in an office feel compelled to answer the phone just because it rings.....

[Jrand74]

Watching Paul Ford and Shirley Booth as Horace and Dolly....no one like either of them, ever again....EVER.

When does the DDD sale start?  I tried to get to the site....and it's SLOW.

Oh TCB, I think the sirens I was hearing might have had something to do with this -

Ann, I think you are correct.  Although why they needed to send hook and ladder trucks to a sunken car is anyone's guess.

NOW TO WEIGHTY POLITICAL MATTERS

OBAMA: CHOOSING FAMILY DOG IS A 'PRESSING ISSUE'

Barack Obama tells reporters he's trying to find just the right puppy to bring to the White House.

CHICAGO -- President-elect Obama promised his daughters a puppy after the election, but finding one is proving to be a bit of a challenge.

"This is a major issue," Obama told reporters at his news conference Friday. It's generated more interest on his Web site than any other topic. But 10-year-old daughter Malia has allergies, so the family is looking for a low-allergy dog.

"We have two criteria that need to be reconciled," said Obama. "One is that Malia is allergic, so it has to be hypoallergenic."

Unfortunately, there is really no such thing as an allergy-free furry animal.

They all shed some skin cells. And proteins found in their saliva or urine can also trigger allergic reactions in people.

Still, there is a good selection of low-allergy dogs. Some are short-hair breeds, but not all. And not all are little dogs.

It's the family's second criteria that may be the more difficult one to fulfill. Obama said the family would prefer to adopt a puppy from an animal rescue shelter.

"But obviously, a lot of shelter dogs are mutts like me," said Obama in a self-deprecating reference to his father from Kenya and mother from Kansas. "So whether we're going to be able to balance those two thing, I think, is a pressing issue on the Obama household."

I nominate the Portugese Water Dog: (with a different hairdo)
