And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ETA: Also, did you know that "the main purpose of the tires is to control the vehicle in turning and stopping situations"?

Wait, WHAT?? This test is way over my head.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Since moving to Dallas, my rent and utilities are the same company, and they charge to do electronic transfers, so eff that, I write a check.

Mine did that for a while. And I paid by check. Now they are checkless and I pay online for free. And I do that. Crazily, they wanted us to pay online when they charged and were confounded as to why people weren't. Dumbass, you wanted to charge me $20 a month, I don't think so.

ETA: Also, did you know that "the main purpose of the tires is to control the vehicle in turning and stopping situations"?

Do *they* know that is not entirely accurate? Hell, it's only barely accurate. Dude, your tires are the only thing on your car that has contact with the road. They are slightly more important than just in stopping and turning unless you plan to be driving a damned unguided missile. And I don't know how you'd get that moving without tires, either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The tires are the thing on your car that make contact with the road.

The car is the thing on the road that brings you back to your abode.

Bummed is what you are when you come back to your car and it's been towed.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, I thought that rolly thing was kind of an important function of the tire. I mean, the control and the stopping are nice side benefits, for sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not like you have to control or stop if you don't get rolling in the first place.

Ummm...that's an oddly written piece of info about the tires, indeed.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Kristin, that sounds very annoying. I hope it is over soon.

Someone remind me that going to Maine will be fun. I'm not feeling it right now.

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

Which is good, because if she did she would drive one.

Dude, guided missiles only. Speed is nothing without control.
