This is how the madness begins

Gadget Freak Syndrome is about to strike again. I wish there were some cure; poverty never did it in the past, and now that I have some cash, it’s worse than ever.
I tend to never get around to vacuuming the house; it used to be an ever greater annoyance because I had a bagless vacuum. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Basically, instead of throwing away a bag, you must now empty the dirt into a bag yourself — which is a whole extra step — and it usually goes all over the place.
Anyway, this time around I bought an old-fashioned bag vac, thankyouverymuch. But I never get around to using it. So, having read that people just love their Roombas like they love their TiVos, I started thinking about picking up a little vacuuming robot. I wonder how it would get along with my dog?
