This was the coolest Christmas present we got this year (my Back to the Future Legos are a close second).

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
They're pretty great!
ReplyDeleteWe call ours Rosie.
Rosie is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWatching it plug itself back into the docking station was neat.
Which model? Is it one of the pet-proof ones? Those are the best.
ReplyDeleteAlso: be prepared to get handy with a screwdriver. You'll have to go all Luke Skywalker on it several times a year.
It's the 650 I think. Which Amazon lists "for pets." Keeping a handle on the cat and dog hair is the main reason we wanted one.
ReplyDeleteWe named ours Duster. I don't know how we've gone this long without giving him googly eyes.
ReplyDeleteI got a Scooba model just before the holidays just to handle the floor mopping chores. It does a really nice job, just like the standard ones.
ReplyDeleteOh and as a stock holder in iRobot thank you!
I want a Scooba so bad.
ReplyDeletePaul they really are as good as advertised. The floors are much cleaner than when I mop normally. We have tile or hardwood throughout the house. You can walk on it seconds later.
ReplyDeleteOmg that sounds awesome. I'm on floor duty every weekend and it's all tile and wood.
ReplyDeleteRosie does a great job on dust/dog hair/leaf debris, but I'm still stuck manually mopping it all.
