Today I got to experience what it was like to be without a car. I had lots of fun riding the buses all over town, and, in the evening, hid at CyRide through a tornado warning and then drove someone else’s car to go get mine fixed. Confused? Click the link to read the whole [...]
Martina McBride’s cry seems to be hardly country at all. Still, it has a couple songs which still get to me. Even if they do get me down sometimes. I got 20 hours of work next week. Immagine that! I suppose I have 24 considering monday is a holiday and I’ll get 4 hours for [...]
I had fun with this guy who parked in the Park’s Library bus stop (no pun intended in this story). He wouldn’t move when I got on his bumper, so I pulled around him and pulled into the stop, effectively cutting him off. I was early so I had to sit for a minute while [...]

Hmm, I shoul;d’ve posted yesterday. I had the topic line still set as "Today was good." Well… today wasn’t. Um, bad typos are blamed on the bandaiud on my index finger. Anyway, let’s just talk about the whole day. Morning. First thing… I realized I forgot I had like $6000 of stuff checked out from [...]
