Considering how most of this country is poor or on their way to being poor, I'm not at all surprised that most Americans have no clue what the Dow is other than part of the stock market and don't know much about the stock market other than it being a rich white person's game. No matter which way you slice the basketball made of iron, most Americans are brought up not to worry about things outside of their own back yard.

I'm looking more at the privileged classes who do know what the Dow is, and who were somehow unfazed by 9+% unemployment holding steady for months and months. But point taken, people only look for their keys in the spot where the street lamp shines.

although to be fair to Helen, she did believe that the moon was made of blue cheese and uranus circled the earth. Personally I might feel on that basis I want to downgrade her reliability as a voice of wisdom.

Yeah, I know. It's how she likes to hang out. She's been like this since I got her. On the plus side, it leaves a leg free to balance my laptop on.

I have, silently, referred to her as "crotch cat." I'm afraid that if I say it out loud that it will come out at an inopportune time, so I don't actually say it.

we have one of those too, though she pretty much only does it when we are sleeping. :)

Sophie prefers to be on top of me, which actually makes me wonder if they've worked out this little arrangement so that they can both be "on" me at the same time.
