Fraud People posing as Army casualty notification officers have contacted the families of five soldiers deployed to Iraq in an apparent fraud attempt.

Marriage
Looks like the Republicans were right all along: gay people really do threaten The Sanctity of Marriage. Who knew?
Crash Send addresses and phone numbers if you want us to have them. On the other hand, the guy who came to deal with the hot water heater looked at it and told K, "Yep, it's a slow leak. That's funny. These things usually just explode." Holy crap! (So it could be worse. Today I heard a couple of war stories from people at work about spontaneous, catastrophic hot water heater failures. Too terrible to recount here.)
So after informing K how lucky we were, he accompanied her to Home Depot where he laid down his serious Alvin Hollis jujitsu on the typically slow Home Depot staff and got the thing replaced under warranty, when he could have just said, back in the basement, "Yep. Leaking. The one I have in my truck will cost you $500," and been done. The replacement one works great. Alvin Hollis rocks! But do not let their oil delivery guys give your kids a sip of heating oil straight from the hose as depicted on their site.
