drink deep

sidebar of the people

There is a lie being perpetrated at the Dallas Galleria Westin Hotel, and I aim to expose the fradulent linen hype right here... right now! A Heavenly bed is a wonderful thing, not to be taken lightly, when making my reservations at a Westin I feel all a glow at the thought of snuggling up in the fluffy light goosedown comforter, the supple egyptian cotton sheets, the soothing neck roll pillow. So when you say you have a Heavenly bed, you better damn well have a Heavenly bed, not some polyester fiber filled SHAM of a set of bed linens. I have confronted the front desk about this mockery of fine bedding and they insist that I am crazy! How can that be? Is there no more reason in this mad mad world? WHERE IS THE GOOSEDOWN??? WHERE????

--This kind of water jug is popular at work...I think it holds as much water as your supposed to drink in a day. Now that I've added eyes and teeth, it looks like I'm drinking from Maakies' Uncle Gabby's head...even more so in this most recent cartoon where he's shaved it.

Modern Folk Wisdom of the Moment
So FoSO, who lives not too far from me in Arlington, has made an observation that I thought was really clever, a neat bit of modernish folk wisdom: when it's summer, and you hear airplanes over Arlington, that means it's likely to be good sleeping weather. Cool huh?

It works because a high pressure system in the west is associated with weather from Canada, blue skies and cool dry air. And airplanes take off into the wind, so if they're heading west from Logan they'll pass over Arlington. (Candi, are you at all impressed?)
