Dick bought me a Roomba yesterday, and I mentioned it in my journal. Well, my friend Mitch in England didn't understand what it is, so she posted a comment. I think it's possible that other people may not know what it is either, because we are so cutting edge (!). And also some people may not read the comments, so this is what I posted for Mitch:
A Roomba is (what else) a robot vacuum cleaner! It does your floors whether carpet or wood or linoleum. I used it this morning for the first time, and it was great! I followed it all around the house just giggling. It's round and red and flat, and when it bumps into things, it very wisely turns itself around and goes in a different direction. It runs for 2 hours on one charge, and then it needs to be plugged in again. I'm telling you what - it's the most fun you can have cleaning house!! I am a happy camper!
We gave Jana a Roomba for Christmas, because it's supposed to be very good at picking up cat hair. I waited for a report from her before I asked for one. She really liked it and recommended it - so hooray! Her cats didn't mind it either. Dick thought that maybe the cats would take turns riding it like a skateboard.
Today was very snowy and blowy - more than 30 school districts cancelled school today. I haven't left the fireside all day. I'm reading the latest Kinsey Milhone, R is for Ricochet. McLenithan came along with his snow blower, and Dick shoveled off the porch, but I was a couch potato.
I watched quite a bit of Condoleezza's confirmation hearing. I love Senator Barbara Boxer. Dr. Rice is a piece of work.
