Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Here's the actual map so you can zoom in.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why *are* gas prices so low in MO?

(I can't believe I referred to $3.60-ish a gallon as low. Jesus.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

DUDE.

I just got my first ever official leave-an-hour-early-permission email! I can leave in twelve minutes! This is unprecedented--but AWESOME.

This story on state gasoline taxes has a chart of what each state adds to the price of gas through taxes (not including local/county taxes--Cook County, I'm looking at you!).

I think I'll leave early too, especially since I'll have to do some work on Memorial Day.

Why *are* gas prices so low in MO?

There's a funny orange blip in Texas where one county only has one city, Fort Stockton, and its gas price is about twenty cents higher than the surrounding counties'.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so glad I started taking the bus!

My office may be moving to a less busable location, though, so I don't know what to do! I am thinking of buying a bike and hoping for nice weather!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My tummy is upset! I'm about to watch a DVD. And we saw a matinee + popcorn + drink for under $20 today. (Iron Man which was good fun, though I had to cringe through the first part).

Maybe you could buy a little scooter, Sophia! You could be all Vespa "ciao" adorable?

I totally think everyone should have a scooter... I'm saving up for one next year.
