Ate too much mac and cheese for lunch. Send help. Or possibly vegetables.

In fact they could live with gas mileage that really sucks even if gas goes up to $10 per gallon, as long as they can get a good safe cheap-to-insure reliable car at a low or moderate price. If they live with gas mileage that sucks is a bargain possible on good used cars.

An old Ford Crown Vic might work well. They should be really cheap and they're supposed to be pretty bulletproof.

sunshine? is that what that is? I popped out for a lunch break (had to make it quick because my boss gave me an urgent project without saying she needed it asap) so I ended up with a cupcake for lunch. My eyes got all squinty and it's warm and steamy outside ... guess that's the sun, huh?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It's raining now, and we're supposed to meet people at an outdoor bar tonight. Piss. Not that we have money to drink it up, but I think can empty the change jar and get a couple of cheap drinks apiece. My friend's in from Alaska, so it's An Occasion.

OTOH, I have been extremely accomplished today! Woo! And I think I netted my first completely independent of anyone I know writing gig! It's a small one (partial water bill!), but with potential to edit/proof this person's non-fic e-book! YAY!

I can't listen to talk radio while writing. I stop and listen too much, or else I start muttering to myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I was looking at the forecast yesterday, I couldn't figure out what the yellow circle meant.... and now it's all bright outside! Confusing.

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

An old Ford Crown Vic might work well. They should be really cheap and they're supposed to be pretty bulletproof.

Good idea.

Here in Chicago there's a dealership that sells used Crown Vic cop cars. Cop cars are even more "bulletproof"--they have heavy-duty suspensions, engines, transmission, etc.

However, don't buy any used taxi cab. I've heard the worst used cop car is still better than the best used taxi.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We were kinda worried. I am sorry/glad you have the cath. Sorry because needlesquick, glad because non-pokey, hopefully better service.

ita, echoing Erin here! I'm sorry the cath is bothering you now.

What the hell happened on the western seaboard? Someone replaced a faulty piece of equipment at an Arizona substation and 5 million people lost power? That's nuts. That's like a cartoon explanation - Homer Simpson bumps into a button and half the US loses power, hahaha, that can't really happen!

P.S., Ginger, I'm so glad to have your expertise and input on these power-plant questions, no joke.

It's sunny here, with BIG fluffy clouds. It's nice.

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Did you ever hear about the Browns Ferry nuclear plant fire? Years ago, a worker was doing an inspection. Using a candle.

Awwww, brenda beat me to the Bluesmobile quote!

The dad of one of my college roommates was a Mt. Prospect cop, and one of his old cop cars was one of the Bluesmobiles in the movie.
