Check out this house, for sale north of Seattle for $259k. It’s got a four story deep bunker underneath it, is build to withstand a nuclear blast 2.5 miles away, has its own generator, water tank, and independent ventilation systems, and the computer room is EMP shielded. Directly out of a Heinlein novel! The Achilles heel? It’s hooked up to city sewer.
Doh!
The Seeing-Eye Cat made another foray, this time to Lowe’s.

Money’s gonna get strange this fall. You have been warned.

Greetings from 2003: the year that the United States takes huge leaps backwards.
“Parents: White Teacher Should Not Teach Black History” – guess this means we should keep black people from teaching European or early American history. Right? Right?
“New York to Open First U.S. Public School for Gays” – super, so now gays and straights will have even less of an idea what the other side is like and will begin to fear and hate each other even more. I guess this means it’s ok to open a school just for straights, too. Note this is a public school, not private.
Inquest into hanging death opens in Belle Glade – Then let’s insist that someone was lynched for dating the white sheriff’s daughter, then look surprised to find out that he was hung with his own sheet, there was cocaine in his system, and his blood alcohol level was .334. Way to be reactionary, folks!
On a lighter note – when Bob Hope’s daughter asked him, just before he died, where he wanted to be buried, he responded, Surprise me”.
I thought Jodi, from Because I Say So!, had really taken the cake with her serialized post about a friend the other day. She topped herself today with her post of an unexpected funeral. Her writing has really gotten wonderful lately and her blog is a pleasure to read. A good way to get a Manhattan fix without actually having to brave the crowds. And even though she took down her comment feature, I read her anyway, despite my anti anti-comments rant a couple of weeks ago. It’s just that good.
If you haven’t heard the soundtrack for Silence of the Lambs – the musical, well, you’re just not living life. Of particular interest is track 6 – “Put the Fucking Lotion in the Basket”. Upon listening to it I think I let a little drop of pee out. What a catchy tune!
