Either Way

As long as you're there for opening night, we could probably find someone else if need be.

Lemon Law = 10 either safety or price issues with vehicle w/in warranty

1. Brakes - didn't count b/c "they didn't repair them and thus weren't the cause of the accident"

SO.

1. Seat Belts replaced x2
3. Recalled x2(don't think these two count though)
3. Brakes in Topeka - 6hours
4. Bezel for sunroof x3(doesn't count either not pricey?)
4. CD player holding CD's
5. Key not coming out of ignition x2
7. Sunroof leaking profusely
8. Rough idle (reprogrammed PCM)
9. ........ I'm sure there was more but now I cannot remember them...

SUN ROOF WOES

Since Friday they have been working with GM and apparently it's a widespread problem with no current solution..... GREAT!! no car ... so please LEMON LAW... PLEASE!!!!!!

At least one came back

and now I'm back on the road for a full day finally. Good times. Found my Knee Brace too.... strangely enough b/c Micco had put some things in my drawer and it happened to be keeping it from closing.... So really why was it behind the drawer.... who knows...

I just know Meeks needs to give me the money from Friday ASAP and Leena does too for fixing her car.

My lifestyle is catching up with me. I have to make the choice of food or sleep on far too often a basis and as such neither are truly fulfilling.

office again

Well apparently after only one week the Reservationist and the back up dispatcher decided to quit....

THE SEARCH CONTINUES

and come to find out the Reservationist is now getting 10.20/hr, which is only 72cents less than a two year driver. CRAP.

But I was in there today, and laughing hysterically and completely calling out the hating. The two other Dispatchers were hating on the new dispatcher that was currently in the Orientation classes. I had to continually point out that she was wearing the exact type and cut of clothes they were, only she was younger and smaller. Apparently the women felt threatened for no apparent reason, and before even talking to her, they had made up their mind that she was ditzy, young, and slutty.


Oh well.... craziness.

Ok, Americans

Here's the deal. You LOVE, I mean LOVE "YOUR" country. So why then do you not buy your fuel from American only companies? Why is it that sure your fuel is perhaps, refined here, but yet 80% or more comes from the oil purchased over seas? You love your little country so much that you brand items with MADE IN AMERICA, but yet when is the last time I saw a gasoline or diesel pump say made and refined in America?

So let's think it out. You hate the "terrorists," but yet the purchases you make of foreign oil in forms of gasoline on a weekly if not more basis have been shown as a direct link to them. Your money is funding terrorism, not Saudi Arabian money, not Iranian money, not Iraqi money, but AMERICAN MONEY. So how do we solve this problem you ask, "humble American Patriot?"

Simple, eliminate our demand beyond what can reasonably be produced here in America. How do we do that. Well one way to significantly lower dependence without much change would be to change out your air filter with a K&N or other high efficiency, reusable, air filter, and read about hyper-milers, this can increase your gas mileage an easy 25%. 25% I hear you now, that's nothing.... but in a multi-BILLION dollar market, let's say only 2 billion market for example: If I took out 25% of 2,000,000,000 in profit that would make your company lose 500,000,000..... 500 million dollars that would stay here. Right here, not fund IED's and other roadside bombs, but right here for your new fancy weapon of mass distraction, er sorry your plasma tv with HD capacity and 52 inch screen.....


Now think if instead of a new gasoline, or gasoline electric hybrid, or hydrogen fuel cell hybrid, you went all electric. If you haven't seen: Enron: The smartest men in the room, or Who Killed the Electric Car?, then I suggest you see what greed in industries does. Also the flow chart from the author of Plug in Hybrid, it shows why eliminating the Gasoline engine or Fuel cell makes sense, and more efficiency. All electric huh? Take 100% of their profit away, now where did your terrorist go..... oh yeah without any money to get WMD's or make their IED's they can't really do too much can they.... oh wait but then again neither can our President's big oil friends, that are making a killing off of you and the rest of the country....

Found Em

just as I thought they were still in the car I just couldn't find them under the seat until today, the keys that is....

And then I got everyone Pumped up about ZAP, since expected at the shareholder meeting on the 29th is an announcement of expansion with their ZAP X - crossover soon to be out... but alas we are broke mofos.... if only we had a couple grand chillin' each... then I'm sure with enough stock options within the time gas prices soar to $4 their stock will easily go from the $1 with their new car out to $20+ per share.

Bachelor Party....

I yi yi
those crazy guys
Worlds of Fun after Tournament, which I was told I wasn't working, then ended up working, then caught some good storm pictures by the Stadiums, since we were too late to get in. Apparently at half time they close the ticket counter, thus we were about 15 minutes too late for the soccer game. Came back to Lawrence, saw Tito's new place, Sean's new place, then out to the liquor store, and then to the pool room. Whomped at pool, but enjoy company. Then to the final destination... but being sober, allowed me to keep out of participation in the evenings final act. I merely dodged questions and redirected whilst nearly everyone else indulged. Fritz, Guy, and myself were the only 3 to get out having to have a lap dance. Guy was slickly pulling out change when girls asked. Fritz was doing just like myself and staying of clear mind and out of harms way. Then I didn't get home 'til 4:30 am, and seeing as I was up at 4:30am, and hadn't gone to sleep until midnight the night before. I was a bit tired, and slept until 12:30, but didn't even move in my sleep, however, I can't seem to find my car keys. I thought I put them in my pants with my other keys but when I woke up they were nowhere to be found.. so using the backups.

only $5000, and yet soon a mere $4/gal

After this month I'll be down to about $5000 in credit card debt, which once fall classes start up will drop, like beautifully cooked ribs' meat off of the bone.

Then on NPR today they were chatting it up with a gasoline analyst and he stated that Americans were still being extremely wasteful with their usage of gasoline, and due to recent problems in Coffeyville, and I believe a refinery in Indiana, that the midwest especially could easily expect $3/gal by the end of the week, and $4/gal due to the peak summer driving season getting ready to start during July. Also that there was not enough public outcry for the companies to even care or worry about losing customers.

Isn't that just heart warming...

Path of Least Resistance

My brother wants to debate; I can tell, but alas for him, I will choose the path of least resistance. Although my argument could be sound I choose to say okay, for the path of least resistance. Menial, Trivial, and Mundane things are not important to win, so choose the path of least resistance. Energy exertion would be overly required, so there's the path of least resistance.

Why do the Blue and Whites,
flash their Lights,
attempt to make us Fight,
especially when we're Right?

Po Po, 5-O,
what're you here for?
there is nothing more,
here than there,
what're you here for?

Taking myself out

Like a basketball out of bounds, I am out of play.

Logically I do NOT have the time, and the energy to be in the game.

So for at least 3 months I am taking myself out of the game. To much effort. Then again other than companionship there isn't really anything to tempt me with. Which leads to annoyance I have found out upon several occasions.

As I said the other day, I'm really just one step away from being a crazy hermit in the woods.

oil Shudder

Changed Megan's oil today, and WOW worse than a diesel engine, next time I'll flush it, replace the valve cover gasket and put in an additive. Although I did put on some new wiper blades since it's supposed to rain soon.

uhnnnnnnnnnn

cursed body

wouldn't sleep past 7:30 today... grrr..

Car in T-Town
