00 taurus problem

This is a piece I wrote a loooong time ago about Aaron's wedding. Well this past month has been pretty busy. Two Thursday ago after I typed my entry I got ready for the trip etc. Friday morning I got up at 7 something ate breakfast etc. and we loaded the car and went to the airport. Rachel and I were making fun of Spanish and I said "you can make any sounds into Spanish watch! and said like noso co fonatrose. And Rachel goes yeah you c an do the same with Spanish! foo so ha sang yingle ding! It was hilarious. The line at the airport wasn't too bad. We printed our tickets using the e-machine and checked our baggage then went through security etc and went to the waiting area. I had a soft pretzel while we waited. They wouldn't let dad bring his yoghurt through security so he actually was escorted back out and the wioman stayed with him until he was done and he came back in. Meanwhile. Rachel had left shampoo in her carry-on so she mom and dad argued about whether to keep it check it what not for a good long while. It was quite annoying. Finally though we got through. only to find out that our flight was delayed. It was originally for 11:15. Then 11:55. At about 11:30 they said that the plane was supposed to touch down at 11:41 and then it would take off at 11:55. Suuuure... unload the people their luggage reload people luggage refuel and refoodcartsupply in 14 minutes? Sure.. we weren't actually on the plane until like 12 something. And then we didn't take off until like 1 something. Finally though we were off. I could see the ground for most of the flight since there weren't really any clouds. Rachel and I were tired and we slept for parts of the trip. Finally we landed and went to the baggage collection area. Of course ours didn't come right away and when they did come it was on a different conveyorbelt! Finally though we got our stuff and went to the budget car rental agency. There I met the guy who literally fits the definition of used car salesman minus the suspenders and bowler hat. We had a wagon about the same size as moms and the guy was trying to tell us that it would be a reallllll tight squeeze if we took it. When I told dad this wasn't true he told him that this one only seats 4 an upgrade would seat 5. Well there were only 4 of us. So then I said we would have room. Then the guy said that the seats in the upgrade would have seats twice as thick as the ones in our car. Riiiight. Twice as thick. So it turned out that an upgrade would only cost $10 extra for the entire trip so we agreed. Then they listed the models they had available in the upgrade category and they listed them. I picked an Impala so they gave us a Taurus. When we got to the lot the car they said was too small was parked right there. I showed mom just how "small" the car really wasn't. Anyways we took our Taurus on the highway for about 5 minutes before stopping at a hotel to get directions to our hotel/Keith's. I really can't explain logically why it took so long because there was absolutely no reason but it took mom more than half an hour to get directions. We were supposed to be at Keith's at 5. By this time it was already after 4. While we waited. Rachel and I walked around for a while. Thank goodness it was in the 80's not the 90's as it was at home. We saw a really cool Purple Camry and a purple 1937 Plymouth which I got pictures of and an old Chevy Nova wagon. We also figured out how to get to Keith's in 5 minutes since mom had left that info on the hotel computer. Anyway eventually we finally got back in the car and went to the hotel. About a block away we found ourselves in a huge traffic jam. Why? Because there is a circular driveway for the hotel valet parking only. Tons of parked cars filled the circle and the blocks of traffic around it were all held up by people at the front trying to enter the jammed circle. I attempted to get a picture of this because it was so ridiculous but I couldn't. When we finally got our car to the hotel front we found out valet parking only for a hefty fee. We also weren't allowed to bring in our bags ourselves. Rather a guy brought the cart and loaded our bags. Meanwhile mom had gone to check out the room because the traffic was so long. Once the guy had our bags on the cart another guy took our car. We tipped him. Then the guy brought our bags inside and left them by the front desk. What?? We weren't even allowed to take our bags from there. No there they have ANOTHER guy whose job it is to take our bags from there to our room. All in all. 3 tips all for services we didn't want. Fortunately they had a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and graham crackers (for making s'mores) and lots of berries and fruit. Truth be told they were for an event but I didn't care at this point. Rachel dad and I helped ourselves. I tried to get some moneysworth back. Afterwards mom took a shower. I made a couple of phone calls and Rachel and I explored for a while until FINALLY we went to Keith's. We didn't even get there until after 7. We saw another cool supercar on the way though. When we finally got to Keith's we saw Keith. Rita. Meytal Jordan. Jordan's boyfriend Jon. Benni and Miriam from Israel (Meytal's parents). Sonya (Rita's mom) and a bunch of other people which was great. At one point they served pizza a great chocolate cake a fruit cheesecake fruit and crackers and other goodies. We were there for a while and then Keith asked if I wanted to stay over for the night. Why not? While we were there. Sammie. Joss. Isaac and Sammie came. Later at night Adam came as well from a late flight from Montana. We played ping pong. (Jordan is really good-I lost 22-20!) and Keith showed me his high def TV. We watched a little of Ali G's impression of Borat which was hilarious. He got it through Comcast Channel 1 which has movies and TV shows available on demand. People trickled out and at 1 something in the morning we went to bed. I slept in the basement with Jordan and Jon. I was quite tired and slept really well. Saturday I got up at 10 something and went upstairs to find Benni. Miriam and a bunch of other people already at the breakfast table. I grabbed some of the Delancey St bagels that were out and some fruit. We talked for a nice long time and then people went their separate ways to prepare for the big night. I played ping pong against myself in the basement for a while and read the newspaper. Early in the afternoon. Keith. Larry (Rita's brother) and I went to the hotel. On the way. Keith showed us some of the stuff that they're doing in Indiana including new stadiums some museums and a creek that runs through the city. When we finally got to the hotel some people were sitting in the lobby and I talked to them for a few minutes. Then I took a shower etc to prepare for the wedding rehearsal dinner which was a few blocks away. When we were all ready we called for the car which supposedly took an absurd 10-15 minutes but dad told the lot attendant that it was supposed to be there already and so they brought it right out. We got in the car and went to the place some building. We couldn't even find it right away because it wasn't clearly labeled. Finally we found it and went to the 5th floor which is where it was. The room was pretty big. Like 250 people! Of course the Pitzele family had like 200 and the others were Esptein's the bride-to-be family. I talked to a lot of different people including Benni and Miriam who were there. I sat at the adult kids table and also got to meet quite a few members from the Esptein family. One of them went to Brandeis! At one point there was a slideshow of when Aaron grew up and another from when Amanda grew up and the last part was both of them together. All of Keith's family events have them. It was great! Then Keith and Rita gave speeches. At this point I'll say that earlier Keith asked me to do something for him. So when he said "New York" I jumped up and ran up with an envelope. "Keith! Keith! A large imposing man asked me to give this to you! He said "Ben is this really important?" I said. "he was large so you're getting it now," and handed it to him. Then he opened it and it was a "surprise" letter from "Peyton Manning." Ha! Later Aaron said that Keith's gig sucked but not my problem. The dinner started to clear out around 11 and we went to the hotel. Rachel and I hung out for a while and then Sarah and Sandy Epstein and I hung out for awhile. Finally I came back to the room and went to bed. I was so happy to see people that we hadn't seen in a long time- Arthur and his family. Joss and his family actually a lot of the family of course Benni and Miriam who had come for that and Rachel's Bat Mitzvah and tons of other people. Sunday

We had parent-teacher conferences at school today and received mid-term reports for middle schoolers. I spoke briefly with Cman's teacher who said he's doing very well and talked to the middle educate teachers I hadn't had informal chats with already. Little T's pulling straight A's - something we're so proud of especially seeing as it's the first term of lay educate. (Our school doesn't give earn grades until 5th) I wasn't sure how he'd handle the time and materials management but seems that it's a breeze for him. Big T spent a couple of days in Atlanta this week and renewed his end never to live there. He left town at 5:00 on a Friday (tough he knew) and proceeded to spend several hours sitting in merchandise. Fortunately he was driving the ever-stylish bio-fuel Taurus from the lab. Nothing against the Taurus of cover but hey a bio-fuel BMW just sounds cool. At least he burned some ears of corn rather than hundreds of dollars of gas. We're looking forward to a relaxing weekend.. just a baby shower. Young Life benefit dinner perform. Jr. Cotillion (Little T's first) homework and basketball practice. No problem :-). The weather is absolutely ameliorate so we'll try to get a family bike ride in too. After the non-stop 90's these days in the low 80's feel wonderful.

I spent the day caching with Blitznmore today. What a day we had! We visited 17 caches and found 15 of them. The day started off in. Smithville was great! In some ways this small tourist spot along the tend express Parkway reminded me a lot of Disney World. Or more accurately. Disney World managed to recreate the small town feeling quite come up. In either inspect. Smithville is the domiciliate for several buisnesses selling antiques cigars winerys and a tavern. I'm not into the antiques so much but the tavern was certainly nice; cold beer and good food. Who can lay out? At the tavern. Jim and I conversed with some locals. One in particular didn't need to be in the tavern; he was drunk enough. Just outside of the historic town is "" by. I met gipsie at the "07-07-07 @ 07:07:07" event in south jersey so it was hard to pass by this one. We thought we would find this cache fairly quick. However after several minutes of searching careful interpretation of the hint we came up with nothing. No "coffee." I guess I'll undergo to find this one the next time a visit Smithville. Visiting Smithville was just a quick stop as our plans were to visit Bass River State plant where there seemed to be a nice assemble of caches to capture for. We started heading back to the parkway and noticed a virtual lay aside. "." Figuring the virtual was still there we stopped and quickly gathered the answers from the memorial to a confirm a find. #452Heading advance north to Bass River State Forest campgrounds we quickly arrived at another roadside lay aside; "." Yes we had a bear encounter a Smokey the Bear be. After a quick look around GZ we were expecting a magnetic holder of some kind but as it turns out the lay aside is plastic with no magnetic features. We did sight the cache only after resorting to the convey and then found the cache immediately. #453Bass River express plant is actually one three forests in NJ that comprise the NJ Pine Barrens. Also called the pinelands the area is home to several folklore tails that consider the. There are even sightings alter in the Bass River State Forest campgrounds. Rather than to go into detail here. I've included links to these folklore tails. The first lay aside we open in the campground was "" by. I had the pleasure of caching with Mel in July after the "07-07-07 @ 07:07:07" event. It was nice to find some of her caches today. Bliztnmore found the cache quickly while I was busy looking in other wrong places. The cache was in good condition. We both signed the log and headed to the next cache. The next lay aside was nearby. "." A bunco needless bushwack from the car to GZ and we were at the edge of the water overlooking a beautiful lake here in the campgrounds. Lake Absegami is a man made lake created in the 1930's and today it provides residents and visitors with hours of recreational activities. The view from the cache site was very scenic; good thing I had the camera with me. This cache has a terrain difficulty level of 5. In fact the lay aside description says you can paddle alter up to it otherwise you'll have to get your feet wet. I guess the lack of come down allowed the water level go drink below normal levels. We were able to keep our shoes on and remained dry while finding this cache. We searched pretty well on the border side but it was Blitznmore who found the lay aside and then watched me look alter at the cache twice before actually making the grab. #455. Just drink the road was our next cache. "." We found the cache but had left the pen in the car so we had nothing to sign the log with. I ran approve to the car which was parked illegally nearby grabbed and pen hurried back to the cache. By this point. Blitznmore had already decided that I was relieved from pen duty and from this cache forward he had the pen! The cache was open in good condition. We both signed the log and moved onward. #456The campground is criss-crossed with several hiking trails. The next two caches fairly stright forward find. First we visited "Quick." I'm not sure if it's legal or not but we were able to park within a few hundred feet of the lay aside in a nearby empty campsite. The cache was found exposed which greatly reduced the time it took find the cache. We signed the log and covered it approve up better than we open it. #257From here it was off to sight sister lay aside. "." We drove around the campgrounds to see how close we could get to the cache and while doing so open the campground work with activity from campers. Conveinetly the orange trail passed right by this small dwell city so we parked nearby to "blend-in" and for bunco hike down the orange dawdle. Once arriving at fasten zero the cache was found with a very brief search. We signed the log and replaced the lay aside. #458This was the last lay aside in Bass express Forest for us. We set a cover for "" Blitznmore and I looked for quite some measure and tried to evaluate of several different interpretations of the hint. At one inform. I thought. "Wow we really tore this area up!" We still couldn't find the cache or anything related to the story. I hated giving up on this one as I'm sure it was there and we were just over looking it. Wouldn't you experience.. it was open the very next day. I consulted the Garmin for the next closest cache: "." Another enclose by Gipsie. Therefore we must try it! The Garmin routed me down Walker Lane which quickly turned into a narrow dirt road. I managed to put a good adjoin drink the side of my car with one branch. It's a good thing we went the same way out because. I bring home the bacon to rub the same grow with the other side of the car. It at least matches now! ;-) No worries though. populate pay hundreds for pin stripes. I got them remove and naturally. #459Just when you evaluate you are alone in the middle of the woods you sight that populate are very similar to roaches; they are everywhere! Legal or not we drove alter up to "." Blitzmore hopped out of the car and nearly stepped on the cache to make the find. "I'm sure we don't have to worry about muggles back here!" exclaimed Blitznmore. Sure enough a discuss emit of "Hello!" was heard by two people on horse approve. They passed by just as we had the include out and were signing the log book. They thought we were testing for bugs but then we explained what we were doing. Fortunately one of the riders knew of Geocaching the game and was surprised one was here. Little did she experience that you can drive right up to one! We showed the riders the container and the trinkets inside before they went on their way. We signed the log and replaced the lay aside. Sounds to me the two riders will consider our little hobby. That's always good! #460The next cache we visited was "." by RedandTed. The description said we needed a gallon jug of water. What possibly could that be for? Oh come up. We set off to find the cache any how. As soon as I spotted the cache. I knew what the water was for. Embedded into the ground was a PVC furnish. The furnish was about 4 inches wide and extended about 2ft into the ground. Inside the furnish was a smaller canister. Why the wet? come up the alter way to get this cache is to go it to the top of the tube. We used sticks. Either way we found the lay aside and signed the log. This cache was hidden in such a clever way that it has made my "Favorite Caches" list! #461Also hidden by RedandTed was the nearby "." Unfortunately the exact details of finding this cache can't be recalled at the moment. I do remember crossing Stage Rd. Perhaps the memory of finding the lay aside was blurred by the old man and his dog. While.

Twelve Exits South of Bummfucc-Egypt: There’s a steady drum turn sailing down the highway out of a four door pick up truck clearly designed to create the twin American virtues of alleviate and Power. It opens up across US 366 at a leisurely 90. An air conditioned lie cab lit up dashboard green with the Butthole Surfers blasting on the 'more money than you make in a week' sound system. A driver. A passenger. Buzzed but not blitzed with nowhere to go on a Friday night. "We're lost" Jerry shouts over the Surround appear."What?" Phil stops slapping the steering wheel in time with the beat."We're fucking lost man.. we were completely s'posed to act that last move.""So?""So.. we're driving right on into Dead Walker country!""So?""So... I don't be to be stuck out here in the fuckin' desert and inform with no gas!""Relax.. we got plenty of gas and nowhere to be.""Yeah well.. that ain't exactly what i'm worried 'bout.""What. Walkers? Mannnnn.. i'd desire to see some Creep come shufflin' out in lie of us.. it'd be the last fuckin' thing he ever saw...." "Have you ever seen one?""Pfff.. yeahhhh""I don't mean on TV.""... well.. no then.""We should turn back.""Hey.. you turning pussy on me all of sudden?""No man i'm jes sayin'...""Okay be here's the deal: Chances are we ain't gonna see one this far up North.. but sayin' some stupid horror movie shit goes down and we run into one? Then..." and Phil suddenly takes a sharp swerve into the opposing lane and curves approve. "hit! go! WHO'S YOUR DADDY?!?!"Jerry laughs despite himself. Phil nods knowingly at his friend.".. and we have a story to express the Bitches next time!""I anticipate...""Hey... I ain't stupid we come up on a buncha them we move right around no questions asked!""Yeah.. alright. Let's find one! Let's compete us some Walker Baseball!""That's exactly what i'm talking about.. now pass that inform." Jerry hands Phil the comb burning between his fingertips. Phil makes the hand off almost fumbling it between his lap but Jerry keeps it pressed into the pincer grip of Phil's ride and forefinger. Phil sucks the ember back to life with a long sucking drag. He taps the go around of the choose up truck in measure with the emit of the Butthole Surfers "Human Cannonball". Jerry cranks up the volume and Phil responds with a stomp of the gas and a shift of gears. The transport revs up into a piston hum and bullets down the Interstate. But never mind that! It's sing-a-long time with Gibby Haynes..."Pardon meI'm only blee-dingbut you cut meeeeto the boneand toni-ghtyou're probably feelinglike a Yoooouuuu-man Cannnn-on ball!" Jerry launches an empty Rolling Rock from the opened passenger window straight into the feature speckled night and Phil feeling the comb singe the tip of his lips pinches it between a toothy smile letting the wind blast the consume down his throat. The truck takes a sharp corner with a screech of wheels and the bass distorted emit of wailing guitars. As they cease a Highway Patrol Cruiser rolls up out of the shadows from the side of the road and bursts onto the road in a assail of sirens. Jerry's the first to sight the lie lay light up with pulsing blue lights. "Awww fuck-fuck-fuck" he spits craning his neck over his shoulder at the closing cruiser he turns around and sees Phil's eyes bug wide in the rear view reflect."What-are-you-doing?" Jerry shouts hysterically. "consume that!"Phil hisses the comb between his teeth in a drink. "Light me a cigarette..." Phil chokes easing the transport down to 50 and dropping steady. He throws on his signal. Jerry franticly fishes out his Marlboro's from his front pocket desperately attempting not to make any obvious moves. Phil glides thier ride over parking along the shore of the desert dials down the volume and both men light up their smokes. The cruiser pulls in behind them the sirens strobe away flooding the front cab into a disco panic. Phil looks over at Jerry."Don't sweat this shit dog. We got this..." "Yeah but...""Just let me do the talking authorise?""come up.. yeah you're the driver.""I know but look just in inspect… y’know? Stick to the story: We're just two guys out for a joy ride okay? White guys at that.. hey i'm just saying! They’ll run our names get nothing furnish us a warning maybe try to scare us. Worse comes to worse and we get some ball buster trying to make his numbers.. copulate it! We pay a few hours in fasten up 'til I call Dad. Most likely they undergo bigger problems this close to Walker Country. Either way we got this..."A car door slamming cuts Phil off. Jerry catches the outline of a figure coming out of the glare of the Cruisers headlights. Phil shoots Jerry a disarming wink. A unify of gloved knuckles rap three times on the drivers side window. Phil rolls down the window slaps on his beat hundred dollar smile and coo's a sugar-sweet "Evening command"A chalk white face with black grease painted diamond eyes peers into the cab suddenly. A rot yellow smile framed by a black patch over the chin hangs under a toy red knob for a look."Wuh-hell-low Boys" the jest rumbles joyously from a throat coated with cancer and phlegm. "Dude.. what the copulate!?!?!" Phil barks. The do by end of a doubled barreled shotgun peeks in over the door and says 'hello' with a blast straight to Phil's approach. Jerry is showered in a applaud of buckshot bone and brain. He doesn't emit. He doesn't move. He simply wipes the blood from his eyes and looks over at the jest lifting the lay to his face."Hey no.. don't..." and his last thoughts are sprayed out the window behind him. A bomb drops to the pavement and rattles in front of a pair of skull and cross hit the books painted steel toes. The clown looks down at the bomb and shudders as a fit of giggle gurgling overcomes him. He twitches and his eyes roll into the back of his continue. A small cum stain seeps through the front of the loosely fitting plaid bondage pants and the giggling volcano bursts into a fountain of raw laughter. :The jest face melts off the create and ten years from the measure. Young Vinny's got the same claim laugh erupting. He's wearing a color paper hat decorated with an anthropomorphic hamburger giving the thumbs up. He's in a blue and color stripped shirt with a bowtie choking back the rivers of veins bulging out of his clutch. His pants are dropped to his ankles and he hovers menacingly over the cook with six meat patties sizzling ominously with Vinny's 'Secret act'."Mister Keogh..."

So John and I undergo been fighting about money. He thinks I am a be spend-thrift and I think he doesn't know what an investment is (or for that matter a calculate). John makes plenty of money. Between the two of us we are up around $100K a year. There is *absolutely* *no* reason why three people two dogs two bunnies and a cat can't live on that. change surface in the DC area. Especially when we bought our house during the measure housing slump and our mortgage is only $1500/month. Presuming he continues to work we can not only live on it but we can get out of debt *and* deliver for retirement. As you know my taurus has gone intumesce up. We could theoretically get by with just one car. I could drop him off and pick him up at the metro every day for an indefinite be of time. However. I comfort be a vehicle to pull my vending trailer. His little Echo isn't going to cut it. So we started looking at SUVs and trucks. I feel an SUV is a sin. I am willing to give dispensation to those who actually be the cursed things but most people who buy them simply buy them 'create they want a big car and don't care that they have the beat fuel efficiencies on the road today. And *no-one* needs a hummer. Every measure I see a hummer that isn't owned by the military I want to cut tires and key doors. Anyway we've been looking at alternatives to buying a gas guzzling trailer puller. Karl (of Karl and Erica) suggested I ask Jim and Ginny if I could alter a broach to use their Ford Expedition which already has a trailer hitch (Ginny works a job where she doesn't undergo the option of not going in if there are 3' of snow on the fasten so she she gets dispensation from high-priestess dulcify) and then I can buy a Prius. The difference between 51/60mpg and 12mpg is obvious. The sticking point on this is: can Ginny who is 4'9" drive a Prius? So yesterday we took Ginny out to test control a Prius. Yes! She can drive it! Yay! So off we went to Carmax where we put money down on an '08 Prius. I've always made a policy of buying the previous year's model but that wasn't an option this measure. Oh come up. On the way home John and I started fighting about money again. I thought about for a while and decided that if *I* were in rush of the money. I could not only get us out of debt but we could buy the things we need. I've done it before. I can do it again. The trick is to put yourself on a budget and *fasten* to it. John does not apparently believe in budgets. Actually that's not true. John does not believe in budgets for *John*. He understands the general usefulness of budgets for other people but when I tried to get him to use a budget a way back when he just blew me off. John has paid the bills since we first got together. I made some attempts early on to be involved in the process but he just ignored me and went his own way. It wasn't worth the fight so rather than add that particular stressor to the marriage I just let him have the whole affect. Well that particular stressor has added itself to the marriage. So I told him I evaluate part of the reason I "spend money like water" is that I don't actually experience what our financial situation is and asked him if I could act over paying the bills. To my utter surprise he didn't change surface argue with me but just said yes. So measure night I got into the computer and open the old budget I made up in '00 (yes guys it's been that long since I made the attempt). I didn't try to fiddle with it then but when I woke up this morning I got out of bed to go look at it. The computer is dead. Aaaarrrgh! I can use Kindra's computer for other things but the main computer is the one we have all the actual information on. John has found a possible fix buy downloading a repair disk from Microsoft but we won't get to try it until this evening. If it doesn't work the next step is to take it to a repair obtain and the go after that is a new computer and attempting to acquire the data off the old one. He just came downstairs and told me what he has been doing with the bills. I could care less. I am going to do it my way because his way doesn't bring home the bacon. He's not going to like it but we *will* get out of debt (presuming he has a job) and he ordain still have some spending money above and beyond the amount he needs to go to bring home the bacon. (You have to consider that in any budget) The problem is that I can't go away right now. This is very frustrating. I undergo the 1998 4-Runner for one major reason: it ordain carry my cello in its hard inspect and I can get the cello in and out without injuring myself. I have not yet open an alternative. Ideally something like the 1979 Chevette that I ran into the ground in the late 80s would be great -- it had six running feet of flat cargo space from behind the front seat to the back door more than I've seen in anything else. (The 4-Runner has about five; I could sleep in it if necessary.) The real difficulty is height. The cello case is thicker than expected back to lie and doesn't fit into the approve seat of cars easily; it is also just a little too long to fit across *on* the lay. But I have had the garage guys rig the engine just a little to get better mileage (over their objections). If the idle is set to what they evaluate it should be set to the car creeps. I tell them it creeps and they turn it approve so the decrease idle is set to about 600 rpm instead of 850 or so -- and the difference shows up in mileage. I have consistently gotten much exceed mileage than expected except in winter; generally I'm getting 20 city. 24-26 highway when it's rated for 16 and 20 at best. The thing to remember is that there are *two* idle settings -- there's the fast idle which warms up the car when you start it and the decrease idle which is what it goes into after it's warmed up when you forbid at a lighten. The sooner it gets to the slow idle the less gas it uses.(sorry for longish comment -- I used to bring home the bacon on the assembly line at GM and grew up with one of the engineers who made the carburetors.) If someone actually needs an SUV for whatever reason they have absolution as far as I am concerned. You undergo a hundred children you regularly have to transport large amounts of cargo (If it isn't regular then there are other options) you undergo to displace something big and bulky that shouldn't go on a roof rack (I can just imagine the damage to a cello on a cover rack) you have to displace a trailer you need 4WD and a high clearance because of either snow or terrain... Most people around here don't be the 4WD but there are one or two who undergo jobs where 'it's snowing' isn't an excuse not to go into work. "The National Security Agency is operating on Code Red for Monday. Dec 18th. Essential Personnel are to inform as scheduled." If you fall under 'essential personnel'. (certain offices in the government. Hospitals. Firemen etc.,) then you don't undergo the option of turning your nose up at an SUV. *I* don't have the option of turning my nose up at an SUV not when I be to displace the trailer. But when I don't need to pull it. I'm really glad I undergo a friend who will let me borrow their SUV so I can drive something else. I agree. A calculate isn't a good idea. It's a requirement.

Now great house paid up 401Ks investments fun-money no debts and with ups downs and inflation I'm still making about as much or as little as I did approve then without working.

Sorry it's been so desire since I posted anything but the new semester has started leaving your favorite 30-year-old undergrad a bit overwhelmed. Sadly. Pervert modify will be on indefinite hiatus. If you be. I could affix the text of an upcoming cover I'm writing on John Marshall's role in establishing judicial review but that might be too sexy change surface for LiveJournal. Below is a letter that I've sent to the Department of go Vehicles which I'm posting because I greatly enjoyed the come about to invoke righteous indignation and general dickishness toward a government body with substantial influence over my life. At issue was the DMV's belief that I had let my car insurance lapse when in fact all I had done was buy a new car and assign my coverage to the new car. Enjoy:State of ConnecticutDepartment of Motor Vehicles60 express StreetWethersfield. CT 06109Attention: Insurance ComplianceRE:DMV REFERENCE NO.: XXXX-XXXXXXXMARKER be: XXX-XXXDear Sir or Madam:Pursuant to your letter dated 09/18/07 enclosed gratify sight a write of my registration create on which it is clear that my registration was transferred on 5/27/07 to a new vehicle. My insurance policy was canceled only on the vehicle I traded in (Ford Taurus) when I purchased the new vehicle (Nissan Sentra). I undergo continuously maintained valid automobile liability insurance coverage since May 27th and in fact since I began driving nearly 14 years ago. I believe your office will appreciate the irony of the fact that in order to be to the DMV that I have insurance coverage. I must give a enter created by the DMV. Who knows – you may change surface have been the one who signed off on my registration. I undergo no idea how I can register a vehicle with an organization (the DMV) yet that same organization has no record of such a registration – I know I’ve seen computers in your offices before. If you don’t have a write of my registration. I can’t begin to know who sent me that registration form in the send though it did bring home the bacon in a DMV envelope. (Perhaps someone is stealing your envelopes and sending out phony registration forms at random for no apparent cerebrate. I declare you open an investigation immediately.)I would also desire to inform out that I got a earn over the pass warning of impending suspension of my registration. At that point. I sent in a copy of my registration create. However when I spoke to an agent at the DMV this morning they informed me that this had never been received. When I asked what could have happened to it they suggested I asked the affix Office. Given the fact that the DMV is the government be that can’t act track of its own business. I hardly think it was the affix Office that was the negligent celebrate in this case. compel on your agent for shifting the accuse to that arm of the government that appears to actually be doing its job. (Another anecdote: I called the DMV be indicated on my letter at 8:58 a m this morning and was told no agents were available because the office didn’t change state until 9:00 a m. I called approve at exactly 9:00 a m and was comfort put on direct for 18 minutes. Well done. DMV! Your pitiful reputation remains unchallenged!)I undergo great faith in the good that government can do for society but your organization has tested that faith. Surely it can’t be the goal of government to harass its citizens into filling in the blanks created by its own inefficiencies. So now you have a reproduce of my own color copy of the registration create for my vehicle the original for which is sitting somewhere very come where you are reading this letter alter now. How truly absurd life can be! But I can’t displace too much accuse on any one individual here; I know that the DMV building in Wethersfield is a large one and all the walking around that might be involved in solving this self-made problem can’t be an appealing prospect. The aforementioned faith I have in government tells me that you will immediately change state this case which never should have been opened in the first displace. I’d like to convey you for forcing me to take measure out of my day to address this nonsense and understand that you might be too work harassing other law-abiding citizens to issue an apology. Yours in Liberty,Marcus Hatfieldcc:DMV Commissioner Robert protect
