And today's deal is just two years too soon.

No, it's not the roof. No, it's not the water main. No, it's not the bathroom pipes.

It's the feeder line to the icemaker on the refrigerator. Somewhere within the last few weeks, it began leaking. And since it was under a ton of CRAP - nobody saw.

So I have wet floors. In the kitchen, under the pergo. Those who have this type of floor know what I have this morning. Yeah. It looks like lasagna noodles. We'll see what time and drying out will do for it. This stuff is supposed to be good for twenty years. Just don't get it wet.

The kid's bedroom is soaked. I've called the carpet cleaner - he says he can be here tonight.

Last night, the smoke detector battery decided that was a great time to die. So I had PEEP PEEP PEEP all night.

Last night is FIRED. Today is on probation.

I didn't do it.

No, I know who did.

And I got it nailed. But.

I have been SLAMMED. Three ways to Sunday and it's only Wednesday.

When I get some air, I'll tell y'all more - but I'll tell you this much.

I've already submitted my volunteer app to the Festival of Books, and AOD staff should expect queries about my competency because I've asked to be put on the Special Sekrit Service tasks...and that requires a resume.

I'll get a t-shirt and lunch out of it. At least.

For the rest - catch you later!

Barry Manilow has a "new" album coming out this month.

Except there isn't a new track on it. Not even covers...maybe they've been put through some remastering. Maybe.

I could have built the entire album myself out of what I've got ripped in iTunes.

BAH.

There definitely is something to be said for waiting for something you like...and getting faked out.

"Here, donut! Donut! HAHAHA! STALE DONUT FOR YOU!"

SAN FRANCISCO - The woman seen dropping her young sons into San Francisco Bay pleaded innocent Friday to three counts of murder.

Lashuan Harris, described as mentally ill by family members, kept her head down and held her public defender's hand through most of the brief court hearing. She quietly answered "yes" when the San Francisco Superior Court judge asked if she was willing to waive her right to a speedy preliminary hearing.

Harris, 23, faces three counts of murder with special circumstances, making her eligible for the death penalty.

Her lawyer, Teresa Caffese, refused to address questions about Harris' mental state, saying only her client was under suicide watch. She's being held without bail.

"It's very, very difficult," Caffese said. "This can't be captured in words right now."

Authorities said Harris, a former nurse's assistant who was living in a homeless shelter, was seen putting her three boys in the bay Wednesday.

This is a mother who lost custody of her children once - because she was hospitalized for schitzophrenia. Her mother was granted custody - and less than six months ago, asked to have it back - because her daughter had stopped taking her medication.

Haldol.

I'm sorry. You need that to control any part of your mental state, you really don't need anything but a padded cell.

That's what they give the violently mentally ill to keep them killing anyone coming near them. Ask Rita Hayworth's daughter about caring for her mother in her last days with Alzeheimer's, and having to resort to Haldol to keep her calm.

I have every reason to believe that once she got those children over the edge, that mother was going to follow them. Killing her? Probably what she wanted in the first place. Boy, that's going to solve something!

Watch the caseworker get called in next - and blamed.

Truth of the matter? Somebody is that ill, they need following. For that kind of diagnosis, life-long. You want them to live, that is.

You know, after reading entry after entry about the means used to Leave Town, both in Texas and Louisiana in the path of the hurricanes - that private pilot's license sounds like a pretty damn good plan in case we have to leave this place in a hurry.

Because, well. I know the roads available here. Trust me. I'd do better with a stagecoach.

I could just build a lot with the family name "Hurricane" - populate it with Andrew, Frances, Katrina and Rita, then nuke it out of existence.

firez, you heard from your friends in Corpus?

Houston SPCA has to be evacuating - this is just nuts.
