Ah Who!
First, from a dictionary:
who's:
Contraction of who is.
Contraction of who has.
whose:
adj.
The possessive form of who.
The possessive form of which.
Just thought I'd clear that up before proceeding.
I've been lax this week about posting, mainly because it's been busier than usual, and I've been tired enough that when I wasn't putting out some fire or other I just didn't have the juice to write blog stuff. Which is sort of odd because I've written two new articles for the funny pages, meaning that my next two weeks are already taken care of, including this week which I just remembered I forgot to post yesterday, so tune in tomorrow and it'll be there. Whew!
The other reason is that I'm just not especially upset with anything at the moment. There have been some funny things in the news, like the Democratic party celebrating a loss in Pennsylvania. That's sort of like an accident victim saying it's great because "I could have died six seconds sooner." Okay then. Then there's poor President Bush, who's (heh heh) (the heh heh is for the 'who's') having to deal with all sorts of criticism, including some who are suggesting that this war in Iraq is a lot like the war in Vietnam. That, of course, is ridiculous, because we were invited into Vietnam by the South Vietnamese. No one from Vietnam ever invited us into Iraq.
Egad! Humor on the blog. This may be getting serious. Or not. Something. But, this is a diary, right? So, then the weather has been humid and cool for Las Vegas. The other day we had the record low high temperature for the day, at 86 degrees. It actually felt chilly in the morning, when it was only about seventy or so. At the same time we've had about an inch of rain at our house in the past week, bringing the total for the past twelve months to just a tad over the average annual rainfall for Denver, and bringing allergy attacks like I haven't had since I left Ohio many a moon ago. Some day I intend to try living in a dry climate.
Also I've been painting the house inside, yellow or brick red depending on the wall involved, including texturizing with sand. With the humidity it's taking a while for the paint to dry, but it does look a heck of a lot better than the death white I'm painting over. By the time we sell the place it will be too nice to leave.
Well, I'll try to get huffy over something and post later, or tomorrow at the latest. So, until then, so long from la Valle de las Vegas.
