I just bought a nice banjo off of craigslist.

The problem is that it's VERY dusty and needs a good vacuuming.

Mrs. pj took a bag of facemasks to work. She offered one to one of her coworkers then noticed the cat had been chewing on the bag.

As near as I can figure, I need to pick up an Amish guy from some town 2 hours south to fix the drywall in my bathroom. There does not appear to be a single tradesman in Lorain County capable of doing the work.

I may fly a guy out from CA.

Stopped at a service station yesterday to get a can of Coke to get me through an afternoon of hard First World labor, grading papers and teaching undergrads.

They were out of Coca-Cola. There I stood in the land of the free and the home of the brave, unable to buy a Coke.

(They had it in single-serve bottles and 2-liter bottles, but I wanted a can.)

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

At what point does FEMA get involved in a tragedy like this? What the heck are we paying taxes for, anyway?

The first time I heard of heated car seats, I thought that was funny. What next? A car that gives you a hand job? Big Grin

My Mazda has air-conditioned and heated seats.

But the heated steering wheel is what I missed most.

Not soon enough, that's when!

This thread is full of tragedy. I may never recover.

I know, right?

I think I'm entitled to restitution.

Quirt keeps the heated seats on my side turned on year round, because he loves me and wants me to be happy.

However, in keeping with the whiney nature of this thread, I will note that my steering wheel is not heated and it is possible that his is not, either.

Yeah, Oklahoma gets hot in the summer, but I can always turn them off.

I told the painters to paint my bedroom Stanky Bean and they painted it Skanky Bean instead.
