I wish
Things like this don’t happen in the real world. Imagine … a sea of bacon … that you can drive into. I need a moment.
Read the Full Post12.000 gallons of gas and the universe in general
I filled my car with gas yesterday. I usually put the pump on and let it do its thing until it automatically stops and that’s what I did yesterday. When the pump stopped, it stopped at 12.000 gallons. I have probably been pumping gas for 30-odd years and this is the first “whole gallon” stoppage…

If you happened to be driving on I-25 Southbound in Denver yesterday around 4:15pm and saw a silver Ford Flex piloted by a large goateed man with a lot of hair, yes that was Barry Manilow blasting through 12 speakers with 390 watts of oomph. And yes, Barry was singing about Lola and Rico at…

Read the Full PostDoggedly determined in Boulder
A few weeks ago we were in Boulder acting like tourists. On the way there, we saw this dog driving a Toyota RAV4. I sometimes like to lean my arm out the window, but hey there, pooch! Be careful getting that much torso out the window and trying to drive, too.

I’m continually surprised at the number of cars in the Denver metro area with expired license plates, cracked windshields, or both. It’s far worse then I ever noticed in Las Vegas or anywhere else. Does anyone have an explanation?

I watched the entire second season of “Downton Abbey” today. I watched the entire first season yesterday. I am looking forward to watching the third season this coming week. I’m not sure which job in the house I would want most, but probably chauffeur. I like cars. I wouldn’t mind being one of the landed…

I have a lot to do this weekend, but I’ve got a plan. My time is organized and I even have a good amount of relaxation scheduled. Just the same, I was a little fuzzy this morning. Cobwebs were present. Not from the night before. The just were, you know? Anyway, I went and got…
