Friday Afternoon
March 5th, 2010 . by Cary
Quick update – right now, the only thing on me that is red are my eyes. I just woke up. When I went to get a cab yesterday morning (I slept in until 0500, and by the time I got to the cage there was a line of all things … ) there weren’t any Crown Victorias left. The only cabs available for lease were the Prius(s) (how do you pluralize Prius? Prii? Priuses? many Prius?) and then only if you went for a 24 hour lease. So – on short sleep, and needing to run a cab, I signed on for the special Prius familiarization class (worth a $5 credit on your lease) and had a walk around tour (because they won’t take your word for the fact that you have operated one of these critters before). Then, I was off. The lease rate for a Prius is higher than for a Crown Vic. The comfort rate for a Prius, however, is much lower. Yes, it got great mileage. Yes, I only used $30 of gas (@2.59/gal) for over 400 miles of city driving. But my rear end was welded to the seat all day and all night, so I was reminded of the trip, and why I didn’t buy one after driving one across the country.
Speaking of “i just woke up and boy, am i tired”, I have, once again, postponed the next installment of The “O” Word until the 12th. Sorry, AnnieB – the mind, it is not working, and I won’t be able to take a nap between now and then.
Chat ya later…
Thank you for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, God bless you all, don’t buy or breed cats or dogs while homeless pets die (spay, neuter & adopt a pet, one by one, until there are none), Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Okay, no more “brotherly talk”…
Now it’s “Dutch Uncle” time!
You have two sick girls at home and you are allowing yourself to get worn out, thereby weakening your immune system?
ARE YOU CRAZY?!!
Get to bed. Rest.
See ya next week?
In response to your first question, they have improved, the economic situation has not, so the income needed to be maintained, and I AM taking extra doses of Vitamin C.
In response to your second question, yes, but what does that have to do with the rest of the discussion?
In response to your third question, if you are referring to the show, then yes; if you are by some miracle referring to being here, in Phoenix, in person, then HAIL yes!
Thank you, Uncle Greybeard.
I want one of those “effecient” cars. Preferably an all electric. Just as soon as I can get one for under $16,000.00, that will have a good a/c, that has plush, comfortable seats, a radio and a 5 CD player, can go 600 miles without recharging at 70 mph, and can give me an even chance of surviving a run-in with a simi.
The “plush, comfortable seats” part had me rolling – even as I write this, my back is STILL screaming at me for sitting in one for that long.
Even chance of surviving a run in with a semi? Only if you are in another semi. Trust me, I’ve seen enough of those impact tests.
