If a pick-up lands in your front yard, wouldn't that wake you up?

My today:

• So the CBS network weather guy this morning said that people in Pittsburgh were, quote, "waking up this morning to pick-up trucks and other large debris in their yards after a night of storms." I dunno, if you have a pickup truck blow into your front yard and it just lands there ... shouldn't that actually wake you up WHEN IT HAPPENS instead of you leisurely waking up to it the next day?
  
  
• Took the dog to the after-hours emergency vet last night ... and yes, there is another line of work as lucrative as the one Bernie Madoff was in.
  
  
• Anybody else notice? NBC's Brian Williams has a serious man crush on Barack Obama.
  
  
• I started drinking Smart Water the other day. So far ... nothin'.
  
  
• A lot of people take their dogs for granted until one day they turn up sick and no one can figure out what's wrong with them. For many I would suppose, it's only at that point that they realize how much an animal is indeed a part of the family.

Jen ... not so far put thanks for your concern. I think he'll be fine
soon. Just can't figure out what the deal is.

I believe Brian has some serious competition ( Chris Mathews ) when it comes to lusting after the O-Great One. Sure would hate to see this situation deteriorate into a jello or mud wrestling contest between vying journalist. Of course it would end up on Fox News or PAY FOR VIEW.

In regards to the pick-up truck blowing into the front yard. I know a few East Texans who think that would be a major 'windfall' as compared to the vehicle that is already sitting atop of cinder blocks near the entry way.

I drink Smart Dr. Pepper!

I don't think that 'taking one for granted' is soley the domain of our beloved pets. Our fur bound companions surely leave a large void to fill when their lives are completed.

Smart DP? I didn't even realize.
