Dick Cavett has always had a quiet intelligence that confounds most of today's youth. His command of the language is amazing, and he thinks before he actually opens his mouth. If only other public figures would do the same.
I bet he'd make a heck of a speechwriter! Or a politician!
Here is a sampling....

Update to Electrical -
Nothing yet. But I've found some promising rentals.
As soon as the electrician gets here, I'll have more information. I know I'm going to do my best to sweet-talk him into bringing the building up to code. We still have fabric insulation on wires in the attic. This building was built in the late 1970s or early 1980s. I'm surprised at the condition of the electrical system.

Strange Developments
Last night, I had a fire in an electrical outlet. It caused me to evacuate overnight while the property owner did a "temporary fix" and capped off the outlet. The outlet took another with it, so I am down to one outlet in the front room.
The landlady will have an electrician come in, and the Fire Department was pretty adamant that they want an inspection. However, I'm back in my home and while it is not as functional as I'd like, at least my family and I are together again. I have my favorite chair again. I have my own bed again. I have my shower with all the hot water I can handle again.
I haven't checked the fridge to see what got wasted, but I didn't open it after the power was cut. That should be fine.
It's just a real wake-up call for me. This really is an unsafe place for me anymore....
I'm looking for a place to stay while my house is being built - which will take another year. Hard to find, but I'm sure it will show up.
God willing, the place will shine out of the places that are available.

World Oil
If anyone wanted to know what would happen when oil got too expensive - take a look at the last few months. The US economy had a meltdown! It couldn't have been better orchestrated on purpose.
Yeah, I know, the housing market is a major component of all this crap - I'm not discounting it in any way, but if oil hadn't got so expensive (Thanks, Mr. Bush!) then the housing market might have been able to correct without pulling everything else with it.
Just my 2¢.
