It's difficult to find the information on your lost bags through the Continental airlines web site. The info is there, though, if you are persistant.
Rental car companies continue to stock crap.
American car companies continue to make crap.
There aren't enough gas stations on 1A south toward the airport. If you don't go to that Hess on the other side of the road you end up entering the airport, looping around, and heading back out to the Hess.
There is a Cisco gas station IN LOGAN AIRPORT but I'm pretty sure its road isn't connected to any other roads.
When "Marian" the Contental representative asks you to name "one unique item" in your luggage, she isn't impressed when all you can think of is an "orange and grey running shirt".
Dogs are stupid, but their saliva dries quickly.
You should read the directions on the stuffing package, they want you to add water.
My fantastic former roommate Jack has a website up with some of his cut paper artwork. We're fortunate to own several of these. Go buy now!
For better or for worse, I've created a baseball wiki. I'm using QwikiWiki for the time being, but I can't seem to convince it to let non-admins create new pages. If this really is the case, I'll have to change.
The good thing about comment spam is it makes me log in and delete it. While I'm doing that I may as well drop an offering here.
I'm going to a giant wedding in New York next weekend. I have a tux I'm quite fond of but want a new bowtie. I went to one of our fabulous local department stores yesterday, Kauffman's. Not only did they not have any bow ties, they seemed very confused by my request. Off to Nordstrom's I go.
Bush just annouced that he'd received a mandate from the American people.
He hadn't heard that Ohio and 10 other states just made that illegal.

Man-date.
Suburban Cleveland.
Wife and I arrived at 6:20, joined the line in front of the elementary school. I estimated 50 people in front of me. Doors opened at 6:30. We made it up to the table around 7:00, got our ballots without problem. I showed them my registration card simply because the brain trust at the counter couldn't figure out how to spell my last name (a very simple combination of two common english words...).
I voted (so many judges!), noting that nearly everyone running for office in Cleveland is named Connelly, Donnelly, or O'Donnel. I inspected my punch card for chads and handed it to the ballot lady.
I was given a sticker. (Our stickers never make it through the day on my shirt, I lost it at lunch.)
While I was loitering around waiting for my wife to finish (she actually takes time to consider whether to vote for candidates running unopposed) I heard some conversation between people in line and an apparent election board employee who was helping people find their proper precint line ... He said that there were, indeed, "election monitors" there, although all the people behind the desk looked unaffiliated to me. In other words they looked like the same folks who were there a year ago.
When I left, at 7:10, the line was at least 100 people deep.
I spoke with a friend around 11:30 who was helping a GOTV ride-to-the-polls effort, he said the wait in the area of Cleveland he was in was over an hours.
