Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I'm allergic to too much booze and blow, myself.

Like I needed ANOTHER G-n-R earworm.

It is always time for a G-n-R earworm! You're welcome!

“an adverse allergic reaction to some medication.”

Will they have to put that on the label now?

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

Remember when we were talking about eyebrows? I think the Chicago Tribune lurks here....

Who's afraid of big, bold brows?

Speaking of the Trib, lots of storm stuff here, including a rather disturbing report of a woman who was driving to work and a dead tree branch fell and crashed through her front windshield, impaling her. (Whitefonted for disturbing imagery.)

Power is apparently back on at my place (at least, my answering machine is picking up), but someone here at work had to reschedule his dentist's appointment since the power is out at the dentist's office the next suburb over. And we've been having some instances of flickering lights here this afternoon.

Michigan's expecting another round of high winds tomorrow. As my sister's flying out of Detroit tomorrow evening, this may affect her visit with me. I hope not.

My car's a two-year old Honda Fit. I'm hoping it'll carry on the Honda tradition of lasting 10+ years, or until I move to a place with a real winter (whereupon I'll look for something larger and heavier).

I have a coworker with a Fit, and she has no problems dealing with Chicago winters.

My Lincoln is about 52 years old. Has about 60,000 miles on it.

But is it a Hot Rod Lincoln?

My new-to-me Chevy Corsica is 16 years old and makes me drive too fast. Really, it's the car's fault. I'm not used to driving something with actual acceleration. G-forces feel good.

The engine is hot rod-ish - a 430 CID 350 HP 10:1 compression ratio wedge-head MEL (Mercury, Edsel, Lincoln) series engine with four-barrel carb. But the engine is very heavy and so is the car. I think Popular Mechanics said its top speed is around 120 mph.
