"All Passengers and Crew saved when Valiant Crewmembers Vanquish Engine Fire Aboard Ship"

"Although the great vessel had twice the number of passengers of the Titanic, only one Dialysis patient had to be evacuated."

Survivors of Hurricane Katrina marvel at the resilience of the passengers in the face of hot shrimp cocktails and free booze. "Not like the Superdome,"says one. "Those passengers are true survivors."; 2/14/13, 12:14 PM
Guimo said...: Here in Transchoptankia yesterday evening, there was a gentle rain with temperatures in the high 40s. I daydreamed about it, hoping that in the morning maybe the rain would have washed away and into the sewers all the corruption and filth in our Nation's capital. Alas, tis not to be.; 2/14/13, 12:17 PM
Anonymous said...: No more lemons, oranges or tangerines on the backyard citrus grove. The remnants are littering the ground beneath the thorned limbs. Robins were seen in St. Augustine this last weekend. Expecting them any morning now as they move up coast. They are the true harbinger of Spring.; 2/14/13, 12:24 PM

I can do anything.

Shanna said...: I went out to see my grandmother at lunch and didn't want to come back. It is so gorgeous outside, sunny 60 degrees. I hope it stays like this for months (or inches up to 70).

In other news, I spent last night learning to play twinkle twinkle little star and michael row the boat ashore on the guitar.; 2/14/13, 1:37 PM

JAL said...: So did JOhn Kerry have a facelift? Or is it botox?

His face is definitely different.

Except for the hair and the picture captions these I would have to look and think twice if he ws in a lineup.; 2/14/13, 5:03 PM
William said...: Maybe it's the winter light, but that house looks like the kind of place where no one had a happy childhood. The realtor is probably mum about the triple homicide and the stains on basement walls.; 2/14/13, 6:18 PM
