I will probably pay it off sooner, I just didn't want to take any chances.

The great sleeved-blanket showdown.

Heh, I've just seen my first April Fool's joke. It's on a puzzle site I visit daily that's hosted in Japan, thus it's already tomorrow. It's a clever one - the whole site is in black and white. The announcement at the top of the page reads "Color reductions due to business deterioration" and it goes on to explain the the worldwide recession has forced them to cut costs by reducing colors.

Wait, that means that at Midnight April 1st, all their computers did not become melted piles of goo. Whew! We dodged another one.

The server's probably Unix based.

I haven't seen or heard from my boss yet today. As a result, I've gotten a lot done this morning.

OUCH! When your car has 90k miles on it, and it's time for service, it is EXPENSIVE!!!!!! Major service plus timing belt = $1000. I wonder if I need 2 new tires too?

Hee hee. I liked the Postscript:

P.S. While the reductions in color are in force I will ask you to imagine the missing colors, by using your imagination - like you do when you solve our puzzles. I hope that with the help of your imagination you will see the colors that are not there. When you see colors like the usual on nikoli.com, you have experienced another positive effect of doing Nikoli puzzles.
