All right, y'all. The day before our ultrasound in which we hope to find out whether we're having a son or a daughter, we've got 4 people who think it's a boy, and one who thinks it's a girl. Tell us what you think. Inquiring minds want to know.

Sometime last week we came home to this crazy message on our answering machine. It was too good to delete without documenting it somewhere:

Well hi Vickie. This is Sarah [Say-rah], from the Shell station, and all the other service stations around here. I just wanna say hello. Uh, if you can get back in touch with me, fine, I don't have call waitin' and everything on my phone anymore. But, Joe knows Jane's [unintelligible -- ma'am? mom?]. Just wanna say no hard feelings about anything that's happened in the past about dumb-a$$ that slept in the woods and took my blanket and whatever, my yellow blanket. Okay, if you want to you can give me a call back at 919-xxx-xxxx. This is Sarah [Say-rah], and I'm sorry about, well, no, I'm not sorry, the other people are sorry for doin' what they done. Whatever his dumb-a$$ was, that took the blanket and run away in the woods and everything else. You know who I'm talkin' about, I'm bad on rememberin' names. Okay? Talk to you later, whenever, God willin'. Later.

I would love to know more about Say-rah. How is she from "all the other service stations around here"? And why is she apologizing for someone taking her own blanket? Of course, she later retracts her apology, so who knows.

I really wish I had seen this. I was watching TV this morning when the Iraqi men climbed up the statue and tied the rope around it, and I saw them swinging away at the base with a sledgehammer, but then I had to leave for work. To me, this symbolizes what this war is about, and it makes me so proud to be an American.

Funniest Saddam joke I have seen in awhile (from Lileks): "....another one of Saddam’s dispatches from beyond the grave. It contained the usual BS (how do you know a Ba’athist is lying? His mustache is moving. And we curse it!)...."
