Forgot to write about yesterday - I gave Mom a stuffed Carl Kassel doll and a Car Talk CD, then we visited 3 open houses, and went to dinner. The middle house was the one we were least interested in, but it's now Mom's favorite and I'm not opposed to it. Further west than we'd prefer, and a little smaller than I'd like, but a beautiful little home in the woods. The other two were nice to look at but nothing I'd want permanently. Then we went to Bluestone, where we often go on special occasions. As walk-ins, we wound up eating at the bar, and it was a bit expensive, but tasty.

Mom was very happy.

One of the loudest Tea Party-type Congressmen howling about the debt ceiling? ( Owes over $100,000 in back child support. Among other things. ) Somehow, I'm just not surprised.

Apparently several Mexican soldiers crossed the border into Texas yesterday. So the big honkin' river in their way wasn't a clue that maybe they weren't in the right place? Duh.
