Story time, mostly happy ending:

I was changing over from my summer tires to all seasons (read: "winter set"), got done, and was about to close the garage door and call it a night. Decided at the last second to go for a quick spin to compare performance between sets just because (read:

). Closed the garage door, and as I was backing out of my driveway I heard a loud thud/pop. Was like WTF did i hit something. Did a once around and didn't see anything wrong, must be someone else making noise somewhere. Did my drive with expected results confirmed and got back to my driveway. And the garage wouldn't open. Turns out the sound I heard was one of my garage door cables snapping and flying through the space my car and I were 30 seconds before. Moral of the story, hooning your car saves lives.

Lessons learned:
1. INSPECT YOUR GARAGE DOOR CABLES.
2. Sudden urges to go drive are to be followed at all times.

The end.

Riding around with Hum. He lied about the guide.

Seems as though my dad is in full on retirement mode. My parents are going away to Akumel in February, and my dad said "buy your plane ticket there, and you don't need to pay for a single thing once youre there".

I disagree with the common saying "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch", since I'll be getting 9 free lunches on that trip.

Payment comes in many forms... you may pay for those lunches in ways you do not anticipate!

If I know my dad, I'm sure he'll get more than his money's worth for the lunches. It doesn't help that I have a hard time saying no to that guy.

Not really, she bailed out of my car when I stopped at the fountain and I said that I had to back up .......

That's an "inside" joke ....... well, OK, the guide knew that I have a "history" of backing up a car and she said that wasn't part of the deal.

Tcoat knows ....... as soon as he got into my car, I was backing out of a parking space in the Casino parking garage ....... and I backed into a big concrete pillar .......

(after that, I suspect he was considering taking a bus or a cab to the museum .......

)

Does the set of all sets that do not contain themselves, contain itself?

Careful about the suing talk ........ the Indians may think that you are considering suing them. Remember, you aren't off the reservation yet ....... some white eyes, especially those carrying large sums of wampum, have been known to ....... disappear, without a trace, right at the edge of the reservation ......
