Let's See...Uh, Don't Tell Me...
According to a survey published in the Washington Post this past week, one third of Americans questioned couldn't remember which year the September 11 attacks took place. Hard to believe, right? Well, if you think about it, this is the same populace that elected George W. Bush president. Two times!

It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fashion Curse
The Goddess came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon sporting some lovely attire. She's supposed to wear some special white stockings, called TED hose, for the next 30 days. Yes, 30 days. They're very tight and uncomfortable, she says. I don't doubt it either. You know how the pictures on the TV dinner boxes look nothing like the actual contents of the box? Well, the photo of the TEDs is like that too.

Just How Hot Is It?
The Goddess had surgery on her fake knee this week. She had to have it "rebalanced." Whatever that means. Does that mean that she used to be "unbalanced." Best not go there.
The Goddess likes her room at the hospital to be cold, so I'm having to wear sweat pants and shirts to even survive the night. Here we are during the hottest month (we've had 13 out of the last 16 days over 100F, and the 3 days that weren't over 100 were all 99) and I'm wearing stuff we wear during the winter. BTW, yesterday was 104 which just happens to be 40C, and today is supposed to cool off to 103. The AC at the hospital works a little too well. She had the thermostat on 55 and the fan on hi. I almost froze to death the first night, because I wasn't prepared for the winter. Silly me, I thought it was summer. So, I wear shorts and T-shirts when I'm away from the hospital, and I have to change to winter clothes shortly after I get there.
Last night I sneaked the thermostat up to 60. But, I still had to wear the winter stuff.

O, La Ironía
Hoy día es el aniversario de dos cosas irónicamente ligadas. Hace cuarenta y cinco años se edificó el Muro de Berlín, y hace ochenta años nació Fidel Castro. ¿Interesante, no?
Y además, hoy también se presentaron en el diario cubano, Juventud Rebelde, las primeras fotos del Líder Máximo después de su intervención quirúrgica. Evidentement, está vivo todavía. La molestia de nuestro gobierno y la picadura de avispa a casi todo el mundo de Miami no se ha salido del escenario todavía. ¡Qué no celebren demasiado temprano! El rey no ha muerto.
A pesar de que piensas del viejo cabrón, tienes que admirar su capacidad de permanecer.
¡Mira! El Líder es seguidor de Adidas también. Espera momentito, ¿Adidas? ¿El símbolo de esa compañía capitalista tan cerca del corazón del mundo comunista? Algo huele mal.
