As
I drove home this morning after a rather busy late shift the pundits on the
radio were interviewing the lieutenant-governor of Texas. He was talking about
the recent
floods in Houston following the hurricane. He made a very interesting point
about the local politicians. Those who'd turned up to help were being
criticised for using the tragedy to court publicity. Those who hadn't shown
their faces were being lambasted for staying away. As the lieutenant-governor
said, what *are* the politicians
supposed to do?
Some
idiot woman then talked about the public’s reaction to the floods on the “Thought For The Day” thingy. She was
crystal clear that God was in no way accountable for the floods; "nature" was well known to be
capricious. But God could be seen in the actions of people helping others in
the aftermath of the disaster.
Apparently.
How
can these people see a God in all the good whilst ignoring all the bad?
I
came home where "er indoors TM" was rather
disrespectful to the new suitcase I’d bought last night on the way to work. I
then met up with "Daddy’s Little Angel TM" and "Stormageddon
- Bringer of Destruction TM" and we
took the dogs round to the park. For once Fudge kept up. Mind you we had a
worrying five minutes when playing on the zip line. We'd lost Fudge.
He eventually turned up playing in the river.
He likes playing in the river. I wish he wouldn't wander off on his own though.
How do you explain to a dog that he should stay close?
With
dogs walked I went to bed for the day. As I slept I could feel the puppy laying
next to me. It is odd; she is much more settled when sleeping during the day
than ever she is at night. Mind you what with the house phone constantly going
off, and the noise of the torrential rain didn’t give me quite the good day’s
sleep I had been hoping for.
After
five hours attempted sleep I got up and had a bit of late brekkie whilst
watching this week’s episode of “Dark
Matter”. It was the last episode of the current season, and I watched I with
very much an air of “WTF is going on?”.
No decision has
yet been made about whether there will be a fourth season. I hope there
will be; for all that I have no idea what is going on, I quite like the show.
"er
indoors TM"
should be home soon. I’m hoping she’ll boil up some dinner before I set off for
another night shift…
