Cash - I am so sorry they put you into this awful situation. good for you for being a voice of reason to them.

Maybe one of your next articles can be about how parents teach kids the value of money and the basic ideas of fiscal responsibility (especially in times like these (tm)) - then you can send your eldest sister a copy.

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

So: re: xkcd: who is the guy in the hat supposed to be?

But he's not supposed to represent any real person, is he?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No, just your basic embodiment of evil.

My speedometer didn't work at all on my commute. It always kicks it at some point. I wonder if it finally gave up. Hmmm... Bad VSS (vehicle speed sensor)?, Loose Wiring?, Bad speedometer head? I don't know if a bad VSS will throw a code or not. I wish there was a way to tell. If I had cruise control I could check the VSS, but I don't.

Gud, is your car 1996 or later? Because if so, it should be easy to read the OBD-2 code (if you have a laptop and the right adapter).
