Just regular kinds of stuff that happened (that doesn’t fit in other categories).

Numbers and more numbers.

So you know how excited I get when I get a cheap price for gas. Today I paid $2.43 and I thought that was pretty good. But as I ran around it got cheaper and cheaper. The lowest was $2.31! It must have dropped everywhere but on the north end of Dix (before it ends) it got lower and lower.

I got Chinese food for dinner so i played those numbers for the Mega Millions and picked up an easy pick too. It’s only $18 million, but what the heck…

I burned my bacon…

I burned my bacon so I threw it away and put some more in the pan and burned that too. I was going to try and eat some of it anyways and then I realized it’s Good Friday (that means no meat to those who don’t know).

Do you think someone was trying to tell me something?!?

I thought she was going to fix it…

When Meredith walked into the room I really thought that somehow she was going to fix it!

Stupid. People are stupid…

My Trip To Egypt

So did I tell you for sure that I am absolutely positively going to go to Egypt this spring? Details to follow…

It’s a scooter? It’s a motorcycle? It’s a Diamo Velux!

I can’t remember if I mentioned this before, but my buddy who smashed his car decided not to replace it at this time and the other day we were talking about a scooter-type thing. Moments after having one of these discussions someone drove by in a Velux Diamo so we chased him down to get some info. So we went to look at one yesterday, and hours later walked out with one! It’s an electric start convertible 150cc motorcycle with CD/MP3 player (the things that look like armrests are speakers) a “trunk” and it gets 75-80 MPG and goes 65 MPH. There’s an optional LCD GPS/DVD you can get too! More photos of scooters here. I’ll get some photos of him on it later!

Eight Winners Spilt the $365 Million

So eight people at a meat packing plant split the $365 million PowerBall prize. 8Powerballwinners365Mil After taxes it was about $15 million a piece! That’s great I’d hate to see one person get all that (unless it was me) it’s just so much money. It’s going to affect so many more people this way. The people ranged from 26-56 years old and some had played for years and some played just a few times. This is the way I like to see the wealth spread!

I’ve got more info (and how I’d start spending $365 million) in my earlier post. Read the full story at CNN.com

Why waste time and resources?!?

So Panera (which in my opinion is the fastest restaurant ever) has implemented using those little pagers they give you at restaurants when you have to wait to get a table. Usually they are calling my name before I even get to the pickup area so this seems like a total waste. It’s something else to handle while getting change and your drink and napkins and stuff. Plus these pagers are the ones shaped like coasters, you don’t really have anything to “coast”…

Las Vegas Theme Song

So I’m watching a rerun of Las Vegas on TNT and when they started the intro I was ready for the Elvis song they play (“a little less conversation…”) and I got something totally different. I wonder if they didn’t want to pay the rights for the syndication or what…?
