My sweetie and I were napping on her couch the other afternoon, after which she informed me in no uncertain terms that I snore.
I told her that those were “man purrs” and that she should cherish them, as they were proof that she made me happy.
I think communication is a cornerstone of a successful relationship, and as soon as I get these sofa cushions dislodged, we’re going to finish that last conversation.
I happened to see a new version of “Gone, Gone, Gone” on TV this morning.
It was more of a “live” version, and it was a nice rendition and pretty much as catchy as the more “commercial” iteration.
But to my dismay, at the end Robert Plant didn’t do his signature Led-Zeppeliny howls. Allison barked a couple of times, but that was it. They just stood there and let the song end.

From an article in the Lakeland Ledger:
A state legislator blamed understaffing by the Florida Highway Patrol for the magnitude of a deadly chain-reaction crash along a smoke-filled and foggy section of Interstate 4 in Polk County…
“I believe it could have been prevented,” Brandenburg said. “Those people didn’t have to die.”
Brandenburg said more troopers could have reacted more quickly to the deteriorating road conditions and closed the road.
Talk about clueless.
The taxpayers of Florida mandated that our government design and build a high-speed train through that corridor.
Governor Bush couldn’t be bothered, so he stalled and convinced the voters to repeal the mandate because it would “cost too much”.
Now Brandenburg wants to encumber the state payroll with more FHP troopers. While they’re worth every penny, troopers are expensive.
Why did we not have enough money to fix the I-4 problem in 2004 with the economy under full steam, but we’re being asked to fund a band-aid for it in 2008 with a recession on the way?

A tribal medicine man and a doctor examined a man with flu-like symptoms.
The medicine man declared, “This sickness caused by evil spirits.”
The doctor frowned at him and said, “That’s superstitious mumbo-jumbo. This man’s illness is caused by germs or a virus.”
The medicine man shook his head sadly at the doctor and said, “White doctor confusing the mechanism with the cause.”
