Oregon has a new law requiring carbon monoxide detectors for all rental units, which of course Betsy and I now have.  We also got a couple for the new house.

Cilla, I've had basement water issues in a couple of houses.  Sometimes it's something very simple, like a clogged or disconnected downspout which is dumping huge amounts of water next to a basement window, etc.  Even if it's seeping through the foundation there are paints you can buy that seal the cement and make the water less likely to penetrate.  If you have a high water table (which we do at the new house), you may need to put in a small sump pump (which is what we did here).

The Cheesecake Factory was the first restaurant in Phoenix that I know of that instituted valet parking. They closed off the handicap area to do so, meaning that you either had to pay to be dropped off by the door or push your walker a long way. Thus, I dislike Cheesecake Factory. DR Sandra, however, loves it. We always go there to get her a piece of cheesecake for her birthday.

In other breaking--literally--news, we have huge Bali blinds in our living room.  Because I am an idiot (technical term), when we first moved in, I thought the "wand" which makes the blinds cantilever open and closed (as opposed to drawing them like curtains) was a "twisty" wand.  It turns out it's a "push up, pull down" wand.  So of course I broke it.  I managed to cobble it together last year with regular tape, but it broke again yesterday.  I have now moved on to duct tape, which will also help in case the blinds are attacked by terrorists.  :)

Last night I watched a homegrown DVD of Coke Time from June 27, 1960 - I don't remember watching this show when I was small, I don't know why.....

It was an ABC show....and the guests on this particular show - in addition to host Pat Boone - were Paul Anka, Bobby Darin, Annette Funicello, Anita Bryant, Frankie Avalon, Edd Byrnes, and Bob Denver.  They did several songs from current Broadway shows including GYPSY, SOUND OF MUSIC, WEST SIDE STORY, and BYE BYE BIRDIE in addition to some of their hit songs.

Lots of choreography....Annette and the dancers did a Madison routine that was used to the "T" in the movie HAIRSPRAY.

I'm not sure I do have a working CM detector but I'm going to get one.  After installing the new furnace a few years ago, I wasn't that worried about it. Guess I should have been.  LOL. NOW I'm sleeping with the window open. Of course now the duct work at least has duct tape on it.    They are going to install a new water heater and new duct work in the morning.  All should be well after that

I think I've figured out the basement water issue.  it wasn't much water and was in a strange spot.  I'm not convinced the cats haven't contributed, but I"m beginning to doubt it.   The cap that closes off the clean out on the floor drain had come loose and was sort of blocking the drain, so when the water softener shoots out the water, I think it goes all over the place.   Just a guess, but when I unplugged the water softener, it dried up.   I fixed the drain last night.  And since they will have to drain the water heater, I'm assuming they will have to fix the drain if it isn't working right :)

Question for Ask BK Day...

If you were asked to come into audition for a show...

What would your uptempo song be?

Your ballad?

Monologue?

I don't know that I would audition for anything these days, but if forced, I might do Nothing Can Stop Me Now, as I know it well and it's perky.  Ballad, any of the Guy Haines ballads.  Monologue - NEVER.

Okay, everybody sing...

Right in the middle of a busy street.
These people long for some window treatments,
With which they know they'll be more discrete.

Bali blinds will shield you,
Ev'ry night, ev'ry day.
In your house, from nosy neighbors,
Hide away, hide away...
