I’m a lemming. I admit it. All the journalers I read on a daily basis have wish lists. How could I resist joining in the fray?

And I swear these wish lists http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/wishlist/102-1639949-8339256 from Amazon are just like crack!

I keep finding all sorts of nifty things to add to my list. It’s like being a kid all over again.

Honestly, some people are just too stupid to breathe.

The Nosy Old Woman who runs the Neighborhood Watch program in my city called me this morning. She was all aflutter because of a call I forwarded to her yesterday. A very nice man,concerned about some freak who is bopping the bishop in front of a bunch of grade-schoolers every morning, wanted to join the block watch.

As I do with all such calls, I forwarded them to The Nosy Old Woman. Apparently when she called him back, his answering machine picked up. The message was in both English and Spanish. For whatever reason, she was scandalized.

“Michelle? I just don’t think this is the type of person we want in a Watch.”

“Why? You don’t like bilingual people?”

“I don’t care who he sleeps with. I just don’t like those Mexicans.”

Sigh.
