County Blah

Why do we have a reverse-911 system, if the county won’t use it to tell us things like, “Hey, we had a water main break and you need to boil your water before using it.”

We’ve had so many water main breaks in the last year that I’m glad we don’t drink tap water, anyway (even with boiling, it tastes nasty to me). We do cook with it, though.

Oh–I guess since we don’t have (or want) a land line, they wouldn’t call us anyway, would they? It seems to me that cell phones should be included somehow, based on the address on the account or where you are when an alert goes out, or something. Since more and more people don’t bother with land lines, that’s a significant issue.

So, yeah, boiling water ’til Wednesday afternoon at the very least. I’m glad I looked at the local newspaper’s web site!

What? Huh?

There was something specific I was going to post. I know it. I remember thinking, “Oh, yeah, I want to blog about that!” But I didn’t do it immediately and now, of course, it’s gone, gone, gone. Blah.

So, instead, you get a little hodge-podge update of books and pictures.

Dr. Horrible!

Go go go! This is the last day to see it free!

If it comes out on DVD as hoped, we’ll be buying a copy. It’s hilarious.

Oh! There’s also a Captain Hammer comic!

Memoir Title Meme

Lillian, another Blog365 participant, tagged me for this meme. I don’t think I’ve ever been tagged for anything before!

Here are the rules:

  1. Write the title to your own memoir using exactly six words.
  2. Post it on your blog.
  3. Link to the person who tagged you.
  4. Tag five other bloggers.

The first thing that comes to mind is “Yes, I’d Do It All Again.” How else would I be sure of having Sam and Katie?

I’m supposed to tag five people, too, but I’ve never tagged anybody. How about you just do it if you feel like it?
