dinsdag 25 augustus 2009 Up at 3:05. A mosquito is biting me. Turn on BBC News. Report - Crowds Greet Gender-test Athlete. Hundreds In South Africa turn out to greet Caster Semenya. Fall back into a light sleep. Up with alarm. Tofu fried rice with pico beef and refried black beans. Yum. Check the news. 150-200 More US Banks Failures Expected In 2009. Wow! That's... troubling. Switch to Stephanie Miller. They talk about the serious issues - the torture tools, health care and town halls... But what about Bacon Vodka! You learn something new every day.
Hmmm... Bacon! That actually sounds fun. Still listening to KUOW, I hear about a town hall meeting with Sen. Colburn (R) of Oklahoma. This is pathetic and sad. Sen Colburn Tells Woman Crying Over Health Care "Gov't Is Not The Answer"
Mary Dejevsky asks, "How can it be that so obvious a social good as universal health insurance, so humane a solution to common vulnerability, is not sewn deep into the fabric of the United States?" Is it just because we're - Americans - mean? A Mean Streak In The US Mainstream. The US tolerates more inequality, deprivation and suffering than is acceptable here - in the UK. Thanks, Thom Hartmann. I'm glad that you make me read The Independent. Walk up to 9th and Westlake to catch the streetcar to work. 10 to 12 - Planning time for Kris. 6 Seahorses do free play. Olivia sounds tired. She sits in the rocker and yawns a lot. I do bubbles, read lots of books, get some puzzles out and talk a lot with the kids (in French for my French friends). Heather does lunch prep and my break. Snack on TGIF Potato Skins. 12 - Anne's lunch. 5 Starfish nap. With a long, low voice, I tell Ben, "Sleeeeep. Sleeeeep." And he goes to sleep.
Kenn and I chat while folding laundry. We talk about End Of The World scenarios. I bring up The Late, Great Planet Earth.Kenn made a bunch of Gak, too. 1 - Kenn's lunch. Bella wakes up early. We go out to the playground. Patty brings Wyatt and Alex outside, too. 2 - Olivia's lunch. I bring Bella back to her group. A lot of Seahorses are playing in the loft. Kris does a lot of diapers while I keep the group occupied (and safe). 3 - I bring Catherine's water bottle back to her. 3 - Walk straight home. Change clothes. Short walk up First Hill to the Tuscany Apartments. Back down Spring Street and thru Freeway Park to my place. Check e-mail. Kamen has some great photos of his vacation in Provincetown, MA.
Now, this is what I call Provincialism, MA. Rice and orange chicken for dinner. Watch Star Trek - Return To Tomorrow.
