A happy night for the Short Bus Singers.

K got to use her new coffee maker and we were all heavily caffeinated.

Here we go again

It's hard to believe the Gulf Coast is being threatened so soon. Is Mother Nature angry with us? I wonder if there will be an end to this long line of furious hurricanes or if the Gulf Coast will eventually be completely wiped out. Is this really the end result of global warming? I wonder if the government can afford to build houses and buildings can be built strong enough to withstand 165 winds because that sure seems like where we are headed. Once again, the newsroom was buzzing tonight with news of Hurriance Rita. A large part of South Florida has been evacuated and when this storm heads in the Gulf, the warm waters are likely to create the same situation as Katrina by turning a category 2 or 3 into a 4 or 5. Predictors say there is a chance this hurricane could hit New Orleans again which sure is making Ray Nagin again look stupid as he he went against the feds by encouraging residents to come back into the city to have to turn around and tell them to evacuate again.

Has America's favorite uber "Christian", who has blamed 9/11 on the ACLU (among others), been watching "The Sopranos" and conveniently forgotten one of the most important Ten Commandments? The ridiculous and hypocritical nature of this statement is newsworthy, but not the first...

Today I flew to Nashville for my grandmother's 83rd birthday (much more on that later), but I had some fun moments in the early a.m. on Southwest Airlines. First off, thanks to my LYB for giving her sister the hook up with a super cheap round-trip ticket to Nashville. Yes, I should have driven from Birmingham, but my car is in the shop and this ticket was cheaper than renting a car. Enough about all that, now to the humor. After two hours of sleep last night I boarded a plane this morning got an excellent window seat and sat peacefully with my Diet Coke and the ever frivolous SkyMall magazine. As the plane was turning on its pre-engine switches (you know where the fans come on, but the engine isn't on yet) an older woman, clothed in a bizarre South American dress with an embroidered woman on the front that said "Honduras", raised her hand and said to the flight attendant, "My husband will be here in five minutes." She said this very matter-of-factly like sh...
