Stuff
I've been away from the blog for a few days, obviously, so what's been happening?
Susan's move-in is complete, with no further "mishaps," and I have finished my last-ever freelance assignment. Yesterday, I officially accepted the jobby-job. I start next Monday. It's been a while since I had a nine-to-five.
To celebrate, Susan bought me an alarm clock. One of those old-fashioned kinds, with the bells on top, and no snooze button. If that doesn't get me up, I know someone who's foot probably will....
Anway, on to bloggy stuff.
I found an interesting blog while surfing around, called Independence Lost. It's got sort of an interesting premise; tries to be neither right nor left, and tried to talk about ways in which "We, the People" can re-assert our independence from a government that is, at best, non-responsive, and at worst, failing us badly.
Here is a very good post from there, about the city of Detroit. Read it all; it's an eye-opener.

yay for no more "mishaps" and good luck at the Jobby-job. I love those old fashioned alarm clocks and they are loud as hell!!!

Beth:
That's the kind of clock. And it really is loud. Even loud enough to wake me up.
Woman:
Thanks
Congrats!
Oh, so you have a difficult time leaving the land of sleep too? I have an alarm clock that sounds like a fire engine. I have to keep it on the other side of the room just to make me get out of bed, lol.
I think Michael (Oleh) wrote that post about Detroit; very good commentary, scary but true!
