Speaking of hooters...Andy, how'd your son like hooters? Sorry I wasn't able to make it. I play ghetto ball on Thursday nights.

My gf is at an eye doctor right now getting a consultation for LASIK.

Just remember Miles, an F is always better than a 0. Much easier to make up for a bad score than no score.

havent been there in a week and a half, but i dont look because i dont have much choice. i fill up at the only diesel station i see before i go home (not counting a small one that i dont want to get stale waterlogged algea fuel from) but i dont ever recall them being much more than the turnpike.

A lot of it is our taxes obviously. CT is not a cheap place to live, quite the opposite actually.
