Sometimes I wonder what I'm married to. George Clinton's got indigestion, I'll bet. I feel a little ill myself.

MSN currently has a headline, "What caused Whitney's drug problem?"

I dunno - what do you think? Perhaps drug usage? Probably started there. You don't hear of too many pregnant abstainers (Mary aside), alcoholic non-drinkers, or tobacco-addicted non-smokers.

Oh, and then there's that "choice" thing about level of usage. Don't play in the fire without fire-resistant clothing and knowledge of fire's potential. Dang that personal responsibility.

In Santa Fe, you'd best buckle up or otherwise restrain your animals from roaming free in your automobile. It's the law (almost).

The city of Santa Fe may soon require pet owners to restrain their dogs, cats and ferrets in special pet seats or with seat belts while traveling in a moving vehicle.

The ordinance, endorsed by the city's public safety committee, would also require that "animals in open beds of trucks and cars be tethered or restrained enough so the animal can't fly out the window," said Kate Rindy, executive director of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, who helped develop the proposed law.

I got a piece of junk mail yesterday that amused me so much that I must share. It's entitled The Best Catalogs of the Year, and it's obviously aimed for those who do not use the web. The premise, presumably, is that you'll pay these people who put out this meta catalog to send you catalogs featured in the listing.

I thought I'd save you the trouble by providing a sampling.

• Fierce Diva - hey, anybody need a catsuit?
• Asian Treasure - because everyone needs a Filipina, baby.
• Loompanics Unlimited - uh oh - a warning of adult material. Probably because of categories like "Revenge" and Fake I.D.
• Evergrace - personalized romance novels. Can anyone say "mail merge"?
• CHEESE! - Yeah, Brian. Cheese from your home state.
• J & L Self Defense Products - Stuffed pit bull, anyone? Oh, guess that's not for sale.
• Polana - Polish foods for all occasions.
• Dancing Dragon - can never have enough of these precious mythical critters.

So, I'm back. Went to the gym tonight, of course. Forgot...shoes.

Was wearing Skechers - brown lace-up pair. Yep - I lifted wearing gym shorts, a t-shirt, and the shoes I wore to work.

Brain is still in Florida, obviously.

2 That's nothing. I was at the gym one day when I saw a woman on the treadmill with burkenstock sandals on...obviously going to the gym was an afterthought on her way home...

Why? Because they can getcha with ear prints now. Forgive me for this one - it'll have to go in the Bonfire (if I can remember to send it). But this is just obnoxious. If this originated from the US, I'd have to say "your tax dollars hard at work," but for now I'll refrain. Or something.

Criminals often wear gloves but are less likely to cover their ears and before would-be burglars touch a doorknob or try to pry open a window they might press their ear against the glass to hear if anyone is home.

Ear prints had been used to identify individuals and criminals long before fingerprints became popular in the early twentieth century. They came back into use in the 1990s but unlike fingerprints they were never organized in a computerized system.
