US government purposely destroyed levees in Iowa!!

Don't believe what you hear in the news, the only thing that makes sense is that those levee were bombed by the government. Amanda and I are the closest to Iowa than any of the rest of you, and I heard (what sounded like to me) an EXPLOSION!! The only explanation is that the government wanted to destroy those levees and destroy all those midwesterner's houses.

In all seriousness though, i wonder a couple of things 1) will the government give the people in Iowa aid (IE fema trailers, debit cards etc)? 2) will you see the midwesterners in Iowa actually doing physical labor to save/rebuild their houses after the waters recede?

I have created a new empire, all shall love me and despair!!!!!!!

Well I've expanded upon Dan's idea of having a "Family Calender" by creating a blog. I don't really know how these things work, but what I have in mind is perhaps a private blog with everyone having some sort of administrative access. If anyone else has any suggestions.......POST THEM ON THE BLOG!!!! Anyway I'm off to customize this awesome blog.

Saturday in the park...

On the agenda for today:

1)Clean the apartment: not much fun but necessary since we are both so busy during the week now.
2)Pack a picnic lunch and take it to the park: The menu for today will be salami sandwiches, melon cubes, cheese sticks, and Vernors (mmm bubbly!). Robert plans on bringing a book to read, G. K. Chesterton's "Orthodoxy", and I will bring Pope Benedict XVI's newest encyclical "Spe Salvi" (Saved in Hope) which I am thoroughly enjoying so far. I also plan on bringing some knitting with me in honor of Worldwide Knit in Public Day.
So what are your plans for this fine Saturday?

UPDATE:
The park was lovely, the bugs... not so much. There were flying bugs, hopping bugs, hopping flying bugs, crawling bugs, and deer flies. We held out until the caterpillars and ants started to lay siege to our blanket, then we moved to a bench. The sandwiches were very good. There were many many people at the park, which is understandable since it is a very nice park. We many go back later in the evening.
