    Put 400 miles on the bike today.


    I guess that is putting good use to an afternoon off.

    This is such a Middle Eastern argument, it breaks my brain. The old guy is making me wanna cry for the sake of the group of peoples I belong to. Bloody hypocrites.

    Valid point. As one of my fellow students said about 6 hours into our clinical day 'give me back my old folks, I'm tired of this shit.'
    I concurred with her sentiment.

    It seems I have a new car. It all sort of happened as if in an extremely stress-filled, anxiety-producing nightmare. I didn't wake up this morning expecting to spend the majority of the day in a car dealership. But my stepdad found a good car (from his perch in Asheville, on the internet) and it does, indeed, seem to be the right car for me. Same make and model as my totaled beloved, three years newer. Tomorrow morning I am hoping to wake up and find the funds from my insurance payout in the bank (as they've suggested I might find it) and then take to the dealership a cashier's check for $8000 (on top of the $1000 I paid them today). Naturally, this evisceration of cash makes me feel like throwing up.

    So I will now have a margarita.

    Davenport was the name of a manufacturer. It's used generically, like jacuzzi is used for any bathtub with jets.

    I've also heard divan...

    Chesterfield is pretty Canadian I'd think.

    Don't use it a lot these days. I mostly use couch.

    I've always thought of a divan as a daybed rather than a chesterfield.

    Holy shit, Tinytown's football team stomped the opponent tonight. It was supposed to be a tough game. Guess not. 43-7.

    It's kind of interesting to have a reason to follow prep football again.
     
  7. Went to a party tonight. Saw boobs for the first time in 9 months.

    No complaints.

    I sat here tonight in Salem Oregon watching about 20 episodes of the old Andy show with my ill mother. I asked my mom what year she thought one episode was and it turned out to be 1963, the year I was born. Logged on here and see this post. Just odd hadn't thought about ol'Andy, Barn, Aunt Bea and Opie in years.

    Leaving in the morning to head back south. I'll have to be back in Early Dec. to take care of some thing while she has another procedure. I'm going to try to schedule the Dec. trip so it last more then 4 days so I can maybe visit friends *cough* Snow * cough, cough.*

    So travel day tomorrow. It's been lovely weather here though I've not been outside much. Raining like hell back in the Yucatan. Maybe I can take some of the sunshine with me.

    Accidentally heard the first part of this "Wrecking Ball" song performed by Miley Cyrus. Someone forgot to turn on autotune to make it close to listenable. Oh wait, that is called the mute button .
    Speaking of music, here is classic music to play while destroying bothersome office equipment. NSFW most places due to harsh language and all that.

    Kickstarter makes it a little too easy to fund interesting projects. There's a couple of guys who are trying to get a company off the ground out here that specializes in documentary-style stuff on breweries. The guys have been at our local beer week all week taking pictures, and it's great stuff. If you love beer, check it out: Hopstories: Every Brewery Has a Story by Eric Buist — Kickstarter

  14. On my morning walk at 6:30 it was 39 degrees, brrr. About a half mile from my house I saw two adult foxes running alongside a wooded area. One jumped on top of a utility pedestal to watch me better. :D

    I'm just going to leave this year for Borla since even though we're going to get stomped, Borla needs to hear this often.



    Right Borla. We did score first after stopping the Ducks on the turnover. Rocky Top, baby.

    Were they afraid that playing it in a full stadium would get them beat up? :p

    Dude, they're playing it in a stadium that's almost exactly double the size of your little spot. Suck it.

    When your family reunions double as speed dating events, I guess it draws a bigger crowd down there. :D

    You're thinking about Alabama, which is who Oregon wants to be when they grow up.
