Name change:

Henceforth, all references to our "weather radio" will be replaced by references to the "Bajeebus Alarm."

The
new mattress that we purchased last weekend sleeps really well, well enough that I can sleep through the guilt of Susie's commission being reduced through her idiocy. Oh, wait, that's not guilt.

It does not sleep well enough, however, for us not to be awakened/frightened by the Bajeebus Alarm's severe weather alert function last night around midnight (and then again at 1, and then again at 1:15).

(I guess that means it's doing its job, then.)

Wife: "That thing scared the bajeebus out of me."

Me: "Oh, you mean when it goes, 'BAJEEBUS BAJEEBUS BAJEEBUS'?"

Hence the new name.

(When the information about the storm follows the alarm, the voice repeats a summary of the weather warning after running through it the first time. This is useful, for I never can hear it the first time over the sound of me crapping myself.)

Why my silence this week? Well, I am working on an epic post about baseball that will bore you to tears (much like that sentence did once you got to "baseball"). Hopefully will post later on this week; it's really unfocused and shoddy and rambling right now.
