PARIS, France (AFP-N) - Terror Alert Level Raised!
In the wake of the London bombings, which killed 54 people, French President Jacques Chirac has ordered his country’s terror alert level raised from “Run” to “Hide.”
The only two higher terror alert levels in France are “Surrender” and “Collaborate.”
The increased level was precipitated by the recent fire [...]

I know just how “geeky” it sounds, but if I had to pick one television show that has had the most influence upon my life I’d have to say it is Star Trek, (and the resulting spin-offs). Yesterday the news hit me that one of the immortal characters from the first series has passed on [...]

There is a new critter at Omar’s Pleasure Palace!
Meet “Petey“. She’s a Quaker. Simply beautiful bird. She is now 15 years old, and has a very large vocabulary that I’m trying not to corrupt with Navy slang. Well, except for “FUBAR!“, that is…
Omar, out.

I was right.
The ex-husband did hit the wrong guy!
I’m still wondering where the mother of little girls gets off letting registered sex offenders stay in her house, though…
Omar, out.

As I sat down to post this morning I had the sudden urge to listen to Boy George and the Culture Club. That’s pretty damned strange, but last night was even stranger here at Omar’s Pleasure Palace & Private Zoo. Let me give you a few points to ponder…
Yesterday evening Lady Beth’s childhood friend, and [...]

There’s some mighty fine advice in these words! Especially numbers 12 and 16.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or [...]

It’s been a while since I posted anything from Pop. This seemed as good as anything…
I remember the story about the old country preacher who had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought along the line of choosing a profession…
Like many young men, then and now, the boy [...]

All is well in Mobile, AL.
We rode out the effects of the hurricane in our home and in total comfort - this time. I was very hapy to be able to call Graumagus last night and report the “all-clear”. (Thanks for all the help, Grau!)
I took Lady Beth to work this morning and then drove [...]

So far all the pets and the rescues are doing well, save for Ol’ Buck. He’s quivering all over. Most are sleeping.
Power just came back on along with the cable. Went off for no reason at 3AM. Will go again soon due to the storm, no doubt.
“Dennis” is a Catagory 4 with 140+ MPH winds. [...]

This will likely be my last post until the storm is over and DSL, or at least Dial-Up, service is restored. I am currently running on generator power as our power went out at 2:35AM for reasons as yet unknown. Other neighborhoods have power still. Cable is also out. Water and phone/DSL still up but [...]

Ok. Everything that can be done is done - except for mopping the floor, and that can wait for a bit - damn it.
I was in desperate need of a shower, my pain meds, and a chair. Just have to swallow a few pills and I’ll be done.
The first rain band came through a couple [...]

We are still planning on staying.
The kids are headed to Meridian, Mississippi. Tony will meet them there tomorrow evening.
Our generator is now up and running! Behold! The sound of POWER! A running generator is a very good thing.
My new brother-in-law’s family has offered a house in Meridian for us as well, (Thanks, guys!), but [...]
