Totally believable. I've seen some very personal things written on overpasses.

Still trying to figure out how to celebrate that one...

California gas tax increases today (+3.5 cents) to 72 cents per gal. - Gasbuddy Gas Prices

Just what we need around here is higher gas prices.

I almost got to spend time as a juror, but was asked to leave during the selection process by the other attorney.

Went to Lake Casitas overnight on the 3rd ( before the crowds arrived), spent the 4th at the water park there (got a little sunburn), spent Friday re packing the trailer. Need to put more thought into the order of packing, else I end up unloading 3/4ths of it for the one item needed.


Not sure all of this is accurate, anyone drive or owned a deuce and a half?

Today is tune up day! Going to take Froggy in for her annual checkup LOL. want her purring like a kitten for the Sacramento trip in two weeks. And sometime next week she gets new window motors, and a stereo and speakers. Since the stereo in it was crappy and only played through the right speakers. Of course it plays nothing now since the repair in Lebec. The stereo and speakers should be here Monday, ordered them from Crutchfield.com, and the window motors I'll pick up at Pep Boys while there for the tune up.
