My mechanic called to inform me that he found a used engine with only 31,000 miles on it with a one year guarantee for only $700.

I'm on vacation this week and next. So, I drove out to Rochester on Wednesday to hook up with ARF's (Area of Rochester Furs) diner meet. Good time, good food. Joining their LJ group to keep in touch with their activities that will be going on in the future ( Read more... )

This was posted on Drudge this morning. It is a "mystery" ad supporting Obama over Clinton, in that no one is claiming to know the ad's creator(-s). Regardless, it is classic. I don't remember the Apple computer ad that it is based on, but the 1984 theme is sweet regardless ( Read more... )
