I'm slightly over blogging. I used to be about it on myspace and then someone disagreed with something I wrote one time, and it was all that I could do to not hurl myself into traffic.

(the size for flashlights). Then I went to fill up the tank for the evac and all of the gas, except for super-unleaded, was out. They charged regular unleaded prices for it. Cars were lined up behind (and oddly at one point in front... I
