Yes, I have been neglectful in not keeping up with you all.
Last weekend was spent in Annapolis, MD at an "extreme" high school competition. An organization called USFirst created and sponsors a Robotics competition nationwide. This was "Lunacy 2009" and as you can see the room at the Naval Academy was packed. These are high school students folks. If your kids/grand kids have not heard about it ............. get with the program. It is our future here.

These kids, and yes there was a team from England, create and build robots to compete each year all across the country. The machine at the left was built and operated by a high school team, "Chop Shop", from Merrimack, NH. They start from scratch, building everything including the shipping crates. Each machine is controlled with joysticks and computers from the sidelines. The whole competition is explained at this U-tube clip. These kids are good, and they have to learn and apply such talents as carpentry, computers, marketing, and management.

It was so refreshing to see a group of young adults and kids doing something other than standing on the corner with their pants down around the bottom of their butts.

How to wash a toilet.
1. Put both lids of the toilet up And add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and rinse'.
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
