I'm back, baby!

On the Harley that is. Last night was a Goldbergian effort to arrange rental truck and motorcycle to allow me to get to work and pay minimal rental fees. Got everything taken care of. Repair bill was outrageous....I almost bought a new bike instead of paying to fix this one. The repair bill would have made a great down payment. But if getting new sneakers makes you run faster, then getting new tires should make the bike faster right?

This story shows a dangerous precedent being set. What are we going to do when all our food starts making a break for it? God forbid, cows ever learn to operate automatic rifles.

Ladies, I think he's still single

Today at lunch, I'm getting my hair cut and a kind of nerdy-looking, overweight guy comes in and is talking with the woman cutting his hair. She asks "What have you been up to?" His reply "Watching T.V., looking for a job, and waiting for the new Lord of the Rings movie to come out." I found this amusing.

Now that I've got my truck, I can't wait to start tossing Bud Light cans into the truck bed.

how many doors do you need?

That was the question the car-rental counter guy asked. I answered "um, one." I had reserved a compact car. I got a pickup truck. A GMC Sonoma.

I'm sick of Saddam. (look how many stories there are!!)

Just hitchin a ride

Today renting a car because my bike will never get fixed!!! Before I bought my Harley in Nov 2001, I'd heard and dismissed reports that Harley's were badly built bikes. "That's left over from the 70's when AMF built the bikes." I just want the bike to run. Maybe Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday I can pick it up. Maybe.

Got the Christmas tree put up this weekend. Did nothing else productive. Needed to get a haircut and to go to the library. Went to the library but it was closed and didn't get a haircut. Someone pass me a joint.
