I don't know... my company has done the donation casual Friday thing before, just because. If they were doing something really bad, they'd probably have their hands full with doing it.

I get to dress like a cabana boy at work tomorrow... oh wait, that's EVERY day I work

I found this rusty colored line of dust on my car bumper, just next to the edge of the trunk lid. When the trunk is open I can see a scorch mark in the corner of the frame that smells like fireworks. It looks like someone stuck a firecracker in there. What I can't figure out is when it happened. Most likely it was on the 4th since I know there were all these idiots with fireworks in the alley where I park. But I didn't notice it until Saturday and that was after I'd been taking things in and out of the trunk in broad daylight all week.

I have a friend who keeps getting burgled, and I don't know how to help.

I mean, in the obvious sense, there's nothing I can do. They had their car stolen, their storage locker contents stolen, and their identity stolen. Unrelated crimes.

The common factor is the victim, not the crimes. I feel like they must have a target on their backs ... and there's something about themselves they must change in order to change this pattern.

I just don't know what that might be, or what advice to give them so they could find out what it is.

But something needs to change with them, or I'm afraid they're going to keep getting ripped off.

(and no offense, but those who think being victimized - whether by crime or cancer or hurricane - has nothing to do with the victim, can just take their cluelessness elsewhere and kindly refrain from bothering to call me a whackjob.)

Can I just call you a whackjob cause it's fun?

MG - sucks that your car got broken into. Cool for pissing off his new girl. Even better that it's not your doing...

I found out tonight why the cartoon skunks bounce. Real ones bounce when they walk! I saw deer, too but the skunk was a novelty.

Damn you, Bumbershoot planners! Damn you for scheduling Gogol Bordello and Rodrigo y Gabriella at the same time!

I picked up my portable DVD player today (I won it last week at an employee raffle) - this is gonna be fun for commuting - I'll probably keep the Lost And Found Video in there to freak out any co-riders

Which is interesting, 'cause the fabric softener that makes it smell good is called Bounce. What's the connection I wonder??

Bounce fabric softener sheets are also a great ant control device.
