I like the idea of replacing my Jeep Liberty with a Hybrid SUV, but they are just crazy expensive. The Ford Escape is $30,000+ and the Toyota Highlander is almost $40,000. This is crazy!
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Wow, Murphy was working overtime at the restaurant tonight - I ordered a discontinued entree, then a drink, a cheese, and a dessert the restaurant was out of tonight (and the waitress forgot to tell me about the second), they cooked the wrong seafood tapas for me, and my soda glass had a weird semicircular crack covering half its surface area which I wouldn't have thought physically possible without shattering the glass. I chewed my figs and potatoes very carefully to make sure there were no bones or roofing tacks inside.

Art Crawl!!!
How I spent my dangerously hot day:
First, I stayed with a friend who has air conditioning!
We hung out, watched the TdeF, did laundry had shrimp cocktail for breakfast.
Then we went to see Batman Begins (again) and out for sushi and came back did more laundry.
Also read. Alot.
Notice the lack of outdoor activity?
Yes, that's how I avoided the horribly hot day. Although now I am at home where I am sitting at my computer and sweating without moving more than my fingers. It's sad.
Also, Doug Petrie wrote tonight's episode of The 4400.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have ordered a pizza (mushroom and pineaple). I am posting this so I will have a record of when I ordererd it - that way, I can figure out when to go pick it up without having to remember when I placed the order. Because I am lazy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My dinner went a lot better than Matt's. (Sorry Matt) I went to this place: [link] and split the crab cakes, then had blackened ahi and a blood orange margarita, then split the dessert sampler.
Very very good, but very very full.

I ordered delivery yesterday (burger and fries, with cheese garlic bread as a side), and didn't eat a damn thing today. All this heat does is make me sleep and not eat. Good for my diet, but not so good for to-do list.

Your tag here.
Hybrid SUV
Is this an oxymoron? Made me chuckle. But I know what you mean ND: I have an hour long commute and my truck is lucky to get 12 mpg. It must cost me $80 a week just to go to work.
Also, I'm confused. Neither the Highlander nor the Escape seem to be hybrid vehicles. Was this a test? Also, also, neither seem to be as expensive as you quoted.
Edit: Of course, after I posted, I found the Highlander Hybrid and the Escape Hybrid. Nevermind me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
