dinsdag 9 augustus 2011

dinsdag 9 augustus 2011 Up at 2:54. Turn on BBC News. What's going on in London? Birmingham, Bristol, and Liverpool, too.

Prime Minister David Cameron has said that police will be out on the streets in greater numbers on Tuesday night to deal with any fresh disturbances. He is "sickened" by all this violence. Switch to DW-TV. Stock markets in Europe endure a volatile morning, with shares seeing heavy falls at first but then recovering some ground. I enjoy Deutsche Welle's report the 21st International Poetry Festival Of MedellĂ­n. A global gathering of poetry! Fantastisch! It's fun to hear and watch Julian Heun do his poetry slam.

Rice and egg for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. They talk about the controversy stirring around The Cover On Newsweek Of Michele Bachmann. Yikes!
Sorry. That deserves all the mockery Steph can dish out. It sounds like Steph and Aisha had a lot of fun in Santa Fe. And there's David Alexrod's comment: "This is essentially a tea party downgrade." Lots of blame to go around about our economy. Walk up Westlake to work. Fun day with the Starfish and Seahorses. Mostly cloudy and cool day. We enjoy an extra long time on the playground. Creative uses of the large waffle blocks.
Olivia makes a shelter... a maze for the kids.
It's fun to explore inside and out. Color with chalk. Someone built a train for the kids. "Where are you going, guys?" "To Starbucks!" Ha! How Seattle of you.
Some kids are begging for Row, Row, Row Your Boat! More, please.

Leisurely lunch time. The Starfish nap early. The Seahorse go down late. Streetcar to d'town. Drop off stuff. Take a walk up Melrose to John and back again. Watch a little Little Britain. Delightfully queer, quirky and clever. Switch to DW-TV. Those German economists... I like their German accents but their voices sound very troubled.

Wait and see mode. Pasta primavera for dinner. Watch Harball and Rachel Maddow.Rachel is covering the recall vote in Wisconsin as the votes roll in.

Democrats pick up 2 state senate seats in Wisconsin, but it's not enough to win control.


Watch Star Trek Enterprise - The Catwalk. When a deadly neutronic storm threatens the ship, the crew must take refuge for eight days inside the maintenance shafts of the warp nacelles.
