I took the Ranger out for a quick run this morning up at Webster Lake
prior to next weeks charity bass tournament and I stopped at
Cumberland Farms to get some gas - I was down to half a tank and I
don't like to get much lower than that.

As I was filling up my boat, some soccer mom in her, I swear to you,
Excursion pulled in and started telling me that she thought I was
being totally selfish in filling up the Ranger in this time of
gasoline shortage as she started filling her vehicle.

I ignored her, but as I was paying at the counter, she was at the
next
register to me with paying a $140 bill chatting with the counter girl
that she needed to get to her summer house on the Cape because all
her
relatives were going to be there for the weekend.

I was especially amused as there was a left over Kerry/Edwards and
Sullivan sticker on the bumper of her Excursion.

True story.

I fuel up under the cover of darkness... been doing so since July this
year when gas hit 2.399 at the pump. I wasn't sure exactly why, but
now
I'm gettin' a clue...

Lonsberry says you shouldn't go anywhere this weekend... send your
boat
gas $$ & auto gas $$ to the gulf states:

Not a bad idea, but I hope you don't absorb too many ideas from
Lonsberry.
He's intensely stupid.

I have no idea who he is.

However based on your comment, he's probably somebody I'd like to
read. :)

You really have to listen to his radio program to appreciate the depth of
his dementia. Sometime last year, he made a comment comparing our black
mayor to a chimp or some such thing. Shortly thereafter, the station
removed
him. Then, he was back. In his absence, he was replaced with some guy who
wasn't very exciting, so I guess ratings dropped. But, the opinion of most
sentient beings here was that the station should've run a microphone into
a
toilet stall and simply broadcast the sound of flushing for a few months.


Do you live in New Orleans?

Bob Lonsberry is a Rochester local, and broadcasts HERE.

Vice President Albert Gore's plane, a Boeing 707, will consume 65,600

brief, 24-hour trip to Kyoto.

By comparison, Bush rode his bicycle to New Orleans to visit with them

My best friends are a soccer mom (actually little league) family of
four with both cars being Yukons.

There's a difference between having kids who play sports, and buying
what everyone else has because you're a dumb twit who can't make an
intelligent buying decision.


Well, the Yukons have nothing to do with sports and I'm not sure what
their argument for buying them was. I guess they just wanted them.


Bingo! They must be one of the crowd that says "We have a god-given right
to own anything we want, no matter what effect its use has on society at
large".


You may be giving too much credit where it's not due at all. I don't think
the idea of anything other than "Ooh, cool car, I want one." was involved.

I was really bored with your answer, but continued to read out politeness.
Then you hit me with the last line! Thanks for the laugh (and no worries,
I'm doing what I think I should do, not what others think I should do).


What about SWMBO?

Not in my vocabulary.

Of course you do - we all do.

The result of not obeying is just too horrible to contemplate.

Just to stay on topic: unfathomably terrifying.

OK. You've got it now. You'll never, ever be without SWMBO (swim' bo) in your
vocabulary again.

And don't let SWMBO know what 'SWMBO' means!

Hey....I'd love a string trimmer with a tilting head to do driveway edging.
But, there are already too damned many noisy little motors around my
neighborhood, most of them serving no purpose at all. A healthy 30 year old
couple using a leaf blower for 3 hours to clean up under a *MINIATURE*
Japanese red maple that's barely larger than the plastic bag they're putting
its leaves in. Give me a friggin' break. Bend over and pick up the leaves.

Pass the ammo!
