From the drive in to work today- I saw two bumper stickers reading "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less" and a picture of a gas pump against an outline of the state of Alaska. Both stickers were on SUVs. I was tempted to drill a hole in their gas tank and steal their gas, since a little literalism might illustrate the point of the objection, plus it ( Read more... )

On the way home from dance class tonight, I drove past a road sign that was displaying the message ( Read more... )

I came home from a nice evening out with friends (saw Schooner Fare with reedrover, achaosofkittens and teky4lf) to find that the garbage collectors had not only picked up the trash this morning but had also taken away the lid of my trash can. Lidless, it's now useless ( Read more... )

Last night I drove home at one of those hours that is either very late or very early, after a good evening in very good company, watching weird movies and shows, and saying, repeatedly, I ought to be going home soon to feed the cats and so on. So anyway, driving home at an hour where there was some concern over staying awake, my brain decided that ( Read more... )

I'm in at work early this morning, as I need to get out early in order to fetch Chris for the show tonight. I am hoping the local precipitation does not add too much to the driving this evening, although the average Washington DC area commuter's driving skills are notoriously water soluble ( Read more... )
