I miss my '71 Nova. [link] My grandfather gave it custom paint (very dark brown with a metallic fleck), glasspacks, and a CB before I got it. Then a friend mounted a speaker under the hood and the CB turned into a PA. Fun stuff for high schoolers. That car had more personality than some people I know.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm calling the SVDP store next to see if they still want clothes mailed down to them
Kathy, have you reached them yet?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYRA JANE!!!!

My first car was a 1979 Dodge Omni 024. It was not especially reliable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My first car was a 1960-something Thunderbird, white with black interior. It was a boy magnet. My stepfather sold it when I went to college and bought me a Mazda 626. Practical, but, alas.

My first car was a 1978 Mercury Marquis Brougham. Proving that my lack of car-buying sense started a long time ago.

Kathy, have you reached them yet?
The message on the SVDP store phone line says that they're not taking any clothes, either--apparently, they've been inundated with so many that it's going to take their sorters some time to go through them all. They're not ruling out that they might take clothes in the future, though.

Oh, and in a completely first world cereal post:
TiVo slashes price of video recorders
TiVo Inc., seeking to prevent consumers from choosing rival digital-video recorders, slashed the price of its machines by as much as half.
Customers who sign up for a one-year subscription will get a $150 mail-in rebate, bringing the price of TiVo's most basic box to $49.99 from a previously discounted $99, Alviso, Calif.-based TiVo said Tuesday. The promotion will end Nov. 27.
The discount cuts the set-top box's price to its lowest level ever. It's part of a plan by TiVo Chief Executive Thomas Rogers to attract subscribers as a marketing deal with satellite-television provider DirecTV Group Inc. ends in October. TiVo in August forecast a loss of as much as $25 million this quarter.
