We are supposed to be weaned away from oil because of its alleged harms to the environment. So then we are supposed to corn-based fuel--that's right, made of the same stuff we used to eat. (Didn't you used to eat Corn Flakes? ) I have seen instances already of people who have bought the program.... Sign in to see full entry.

There are many great things about my car, but one of its few faults was particularly irksome this morning. That is that the key is sometimes hard to slot in the correct positiojn in order to turn it. The original key I had for it that I broke one day was noticeably twisted--no doubt from occasional... Sign in to see full entry.

When I checked my mail after work today, I saw the two bill payments I had tried to send. I had forgotten to put the stamps on the envelopes. Then I thought of the two sympathy cards I sent away at a larger slotted mailbox. Since I had prepared these mailings at the same time, I probably did not... Sign in to see full entry.

Having set the wheels turning earlier, I went ahead today with an auto loan--able at last to do so with the arrival of the title. How briefly I actually have the title myself.

When a coworker asked about the "night" I had off, I took that to be quite different from the "day" I took off. I need to be careful here what I share, lest readers also come to imagination-led conclusions. Hey, don't be offended, it's in our nature to gossip--even though we may not like it or like...
