Get Smart Dubbed In French

Hi folks,

I was watching the news in French today and went to make lunch and when I came back Get Smart (the series from the 60s) was on and dubbed in French.  It's pretty funny as I didn't like it then and it's even stranger in French.  Add this to the preponderance of "draws" in the World Cup one of which was between the US and UK and there's the distinct feeling of living in a true paradox.

Our Friends Emanuel and Susan arrive tomorrow for an overnight before they head to London and I need to open up the sofa bed to see how it works and also check to see if we have sheets for it.

The only other thing that's worrisome is the flash water heater is acting strange the last few weeks.  I need to call the management company who's in charge of our apartment.  That in and of itself will warrant a blog entry.

The oil problem on the US coast has become big news here and everyone is waiting to hear what the president will say.  Also, the British newspapers are yelling about how everyone's retirements are being ruined by the American rhetoric about the spill.

The pictures of the oil soaked birds and dead fish are all too familiar save for this being far more damaging than the Alaska spill in the 90s.

No buyer for the house yet.  We'll continue to keep our fingers crossed.

Cloudy here today with a high in the low 70s.

Love to all everywhere.

A bientot,

Sid
