Get ready to roomba

[marydell]

I finally got a new battery for our mostly-dead Roomba, so tonight I picked up all the toys from the floor of Charlie's playroom (formerly known as Mary's Half of the Basement) and turned the Roomba loose to vacuum it.  If this was a cartoon, the Roomba would have pulled out a gun and shot itself upon seeing the condition of the floor, but in real life it's attacking the job gamely enough.  I expect, however, to hear it softly weeping to itself in the middle of the night.
