Ha-HA! I remembered the thing I need at Target! It was not a dream afterall.

Also, laundry DONE and put away. Mostly done, anyway. Could do one more load.

Yeah, I think it's the latter, but what do I know, I had no idea that existed until now. I meant to look when I got in the car, but forgot.

So today was my last farmers' market of the season. Sad. They have one more week still, but I'll be gone. I will probably go to the one in Santa Fe, but it's not the same. I will miss being known by the farmer by name.

I stocked up on his granola to freeze, though!

Anyway, I had to go, then rush back home, because it's autumnal equinox! Happy autumnal equinox everybody! And I want to mark solar noon on my sunroom floor. And then I rush back out to meet the SO for lunch. So it was kinda silly to come back home just for that, especially when it's cloudy out, but I really want to be able to do this.

ita, it makes sense that it would be the latter

It's kind of annoying that it's optional, though. It wasn't there on the setup of one I had. Don't ask--I did photograph the dashboard. What? It flummoxed me. But, hey, I could refer back to it just now, so cool cool cool.

With a bit of outside help, groceries got planned and shopped. If I had been totally on top of stuff I would also have grabbed fresh garlic, but I will have to roast the chicken with just black pepper and lemon. WOE.

Ha, so was the first photo your photo? Because if so, your tires are low.

However will you survive?

Okay, really, I need to go declutter the sunroom now. I think I'm the only person in the world who's all, hmm, where am I going to move the conga in the sunroom to?

Ha!, No, mine's still on my phone. I grabbed both those off the web.

However will you survive?

Look, woman, fucking acknowledge my pain, or else. And you won't like my else, not one bit.

I had a BMW buff in my car a few months ago, and it was interesting how many things you could take it in to have programmed to work another way, even on a 2003 like mine. So the arrow might be something like that--defaults on, but your service centre can change the programming if you want.

When I went in yesterday to get my car, I told the cashier my full name and car make, model, and year. She asked if I was Bonnie. I said no, ita. She asked if it was a 2002. I said, no, I'll take that one if it's good, but mine's a 2003, like I said. And then she pushed back again.

Isn't there a point at which I'm the expert? And when the topic is my name, that could be a time? I explained to her I'd paid for the repairs the day before and I already had my paperwork but they had needed to fix something else, and Lamar had called this afternoon to tell me that was done. "I don't know about that," she said. "I'll have to call Lamar and see."

[insert phone call here]

"It seems you've already paid for your work, and the paperwork is done and you have it, not me. They'll bring the car around in a minute."

Oh, hey, look at the places we could have been five minutes ago if you hadn't pushed back. Why do so many customer service people push back in weird places? Are we, the customers, that bad? And, no, don't send me to that website. I need to believe it's predominantly faked. Jesus, Darwin needed to be more drastic when he "invented" evolution.

I just realised I'm holding off on the cable thread because of Leverage. 15 minutes more!

hold up: Is Charles Pierce of Esquire the same "Charlie" Pierce on WWDTM?

The second Pierce has a great laugh that always makes me laugh and his sense of humor is really excellent. I thought they were two different people.

But I'm seeing Pierce on Chris Hayes this morning and the voice sounds familiar. So now I'm experiencing discombobulation.

I just spent my Saturday morning catching up on The Daily Show. Wednesday... holy crap, Chaos on Bullshit Mountain may be the angriest and greatest thing Jon Stewart has ever, ever done.

isn't that great? My twitter feed loves it.

Same one le nubian. (I know because he mentioned the Hayes thing on the blog.)
