I’m not surprised; it’s a thirty-five-year-old heap that spews out God knows how many toxins when it actually does start. Of course it might be out of gas since you only put in five dollars’ worth at a time. Though that might keep the explosion small when it blows, maybe saving your life. My '76 Ford van runs like a top. ---

Swimming in an almost-dried-up river is called wading. I’m going to go grocery shopping later today. ---

Please be sure not to leave your cart sitting randomly in the middle of an aisle so no one can get by, and stop trying to pass 30 items through the 15 items or less checkout. It’s people like you that make life so much more difficult for the rest of us. I’m going grocery shopping tonight. ---

What? I see no evidence you did anything to handle a simulpost. No post edited to say n/m. No “Dammit, ninja’ed!” Granted, doing absolutely nothing works too, so if that was your intention, you succeeded. Just not too admirably. Time to punch out and hit the road. Have a good weekend!
