Snot monster

Yes, Casper has her first cold. Came on overnight, requiring boogination, and ultimately sleeping in the car seat, and tylenol in the AM. Boy does a snotty head make her cranky, not that I can blame her, because it makes me cranky too. mr. flea feels guilty because he thinks he is the source of the infection. Silly. Colds abound and it's a wonder she's gone without this far.

Two messages came over the neighborhood listserv this weekend, from the same person. One advertising a used dual jogging stroller for $250; the other advertising a used kitchen stove for $125. Seems a sad commentary on our neighborhood/society when a jogging stroller is worth twice as much as a stove. A stove is actually essential, you know? Yet we value the jogging stroller more highly.

Sorry, I was teasing a bit, with the whole "It's a *really good* stroller."

Actually, I'd just as soon see something essential, like a stove, be affordable. As you say, people can get by without a stroller. It's tougher without a stove.
