From the National Weather Service:

.LOW PRESSURE FORMING IN LOUISIANA TONIGHT WILL TRACK TO OHIO BY
SUNDAY MORNING WHILE DEVELOPING A SECONDARY LOW CENTER IN EASTERN
VIRGINIA. THESE TWO LOW PRESSURE CENTERS WILL MERGE INTO A STORM
OVER EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS SUNDAY EVENING PRODUCING A WIND DRIVEN
POTPOURRI OF HAZARDOUS WEATHER THAT IS SURE TO CAUSE TIMES OF VERY
DIFFICULT TRAVEL SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

Seriously? A "potpourri of hazardous weather"? Who the heck writes this stuff?

I am just thrilled by this…

Oy Vey! Where’s my soapbox? December 14, 2007

Okay- Is anyone else out there bothered by this? Isn’t enough that Christmas is shoved down our throats even if you don’t celebrate it? Does Congress really need to "recognize" this?

It reminds me of when Aunt Renee died. A local town passed a resolution that basically said "We resolve that Renee was a great person. And We resolve that she is dead. Let’s recognize that she was a good dead person." To be honest, Uncle Dave and I laughed our asses off at that. It helps to add humor to the situation.

But seriously, why is the majority religion in this country so afraid that they need these sorts of recognition that violates the basic separation of Church and State? And when we will get Yom Kippur off for the whole country since we get Christmas Day off?

 Okay- off my soapbox.

I get to take eight 5 & 6 year olds to the Police department today! Yippie! Can you feel the excitement pouring out of me?
