Oh American darlings …

I do feel for you. I have met so many smart, serious and intellectually curious citizens of the United States, and yet your political climate is so filled with people just like this one:



Suddenly the abject lunacy that surrounds health and science debates in your country has a whole new layer of horror attached. And thanks to Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content for the URL.

I'm off to see whether having a sore knee is a good enough excuse for wagging work now that hideous deadline has passed. A few laps of the hall ought to settle my conscience one way or the other.

Oh, if she were australian, she'd be one of the voices calling to have the entire country denuded of all foliage and concreted over, so people can live closer to nature without fear of fire, or drop bear attack.

*smites*

how's the knee?

ps. I saw a pic of you on Sunday. You were in front of a B&Rs. I think Push is possibly a cruel, cruel woman made of tease. :D

She's even worse than that, she made us move on rather than going in for ice-cream! But did you notice the short?

Knee is sore. Rang work, there is nothing going on as the deadline is now dead, I have decided that I would just be charging them lots of money on false pretences, and so am going back to bed for a nap.

And YES! Oh lord, that's exactly who they would be ...

And you let her make that decision? Sheesh! They closed the B&Rs in town here, and all the others are out in the south east. It makes me cry tears of blood. I haven't had a fix for more than a year.

I think a nap sounds like a brilliant idea. Unfortunately I have three loads of washing to sort, a stew to start, shoes to drive halfway across melbourne to get recoloured for a wedding, shopping to do, and a novel to start writing. *rolls eyes*

Oh, and then I have to put the bread on.

:D

The nap was long and excellent. And now it's raining! Hurrah! OH SHIT! Left the drip irrigation on last night!

Start on that novel, I have to stop watering!
