Bingo, engine misfire. I'm dropping it off tomorrow morning, just in case. Been a good while since I had a tune up and, who knows, might just be a spark plug that needs replacing. In any case, I'm relieved, I have a short commute home, a new cell phone in case I do get into trouble and a ride back to the office tomorrow morning.

Is there a gas station in Weed? I remember driving south and passing a sign that said Bradley and there was nothing in sight for miles and I always wondered where, exactly, Bradley was. I think that was it.

My mother-in-law got me a coffee mug from the Weed Centennial. It made me laugh, but didn't make me want to go there...

You put your weed in there?

There's plenty of excitement in Weed. I've spent hours of endless fun there.

Your car broke down there too? ;)

We drove it all the way back home fine, it stopped misfiring after I got it up to freeway speeds (tentatively though, I hate car trouble and hate it even more when we're still 3 states from home) and then stopped entirely after the next tank of gas. The light went off after we stopped in The Dalles, OR, which was approximately 3 restarts since the original problem.

No I actually have been there on purpose :D

Although after I flipped a full shopping card over in the middle of Ray's supermarket I'm not sure I'm so exicted to go back.

I hope you don't have what I had. I was only able to eat my first real meal last night - first since Saturday. It's NOT a fun flu (as opposed to those other e-tickets).

I've been eating a little bit here and there today. Still weak, of course. No other symptoms so I think I'll be fine once I've eaten a real dinner.

It ocurred to me today that I had not yet ordered new business cards since my promotion, nor since my company updated its logo. So I began searching our internal website for a form to fill out to order business cards to no avail.

Imagine my surprise when, not 30 minutes later, our office admin walked by and plopped a box of brand new business cards on my desk!! Geez, I better be careful how I weild this newfound power to shape the universe with thought alone.

Oh, and these new cards give me the title of one position higher than I was just promoted to. I'm thinking real hard about whether I should ask for a new set or not...

Too bad you don't work for Disneyland.....
