Two is enough

Having a lovely day unable to concentrate on important things. The guys to do downstairs ceiling installation and the shed roof outside my windows are here this week-end to distract the hell out of me and make certain nothing of value is accomplished. Sounds like someone's knocking on the door all day long, almost as good as the nursing home bell ringer which never shuts off... tap, tap, tap, pause of differring length...repeat! The guy likes threezees! Triplets might be easier on my head...

I usually hate msnbc all day, but today they've got the best and newest video. Lovely Rita has cried her way down to tropical storm strength from the abusive cat-3, and although it's pretty bad rain and surge flooding most affected places, I know we're all very relieved it didn' hit as a 4 or 5. I do wonder how folks are gonna come up with more helping funds when we all can't afford to drive to work next week, after having given more than we shoulda toward Katrina's fallout... A local opinion article from a prompt contributor in the local paper declared "shame on the Red Cross" because they waited at the Astrodome TX for a week with help instead of moving in closer LA, sooner, where people were the neediest, which is what she wanted to help with. The reality is, there's never enough help where and when it's needed.

Another short Press catch of Prez-B today. Sometimes I never want to hear him utter "workin' hard" ever again, seems he can't get on cam without saying it lately. He is beginning to look a bit uneasy today. About time! He shoulda been more worried awhile back. Well, oil well, he does have a personal stock in the oil biz. Where are more bright ideas to get us all outa this upcoming transportation mess... tap, tap, tap, pause-=-, Ugh!
