I was driving to Shore Leave tonight, right about 5:30pm, and on the way there I had my wife pull up a Prisencolinensinainciusol video so we could listen to it. As I exited from 97 North onto 70 East in Maryland, I was telling her about Will Smith’s reaction to the song. Suddenly, I went [...]

Another Accident
Holy crap, I got into another accident. As if breaking my light and denting my car last time wasn’t enough! (All that got fixed for under $100, fortunately.) This time, there was basically no damage to my car. It might have scuffed the paint a little, but that mark might have already been there, I’m [...]
Not a Great First Day
Well, we made it to Las Vegas. Unfortunately I am typing this on my Sidekick, because I forgot the Ethernet port on my computer is fussy. If I have a chance and/or can figure out where to go, I will buy an ethernet PC/MCIA card to make up for it. Fortunately the 25-ft Ethernet cable [...]

Car Updates
Okay, my car stuff is all up to date. My experience with the Maryland State Police was less than ideal. First, I was waiting out there for a long time, so I finally called back. Sure enough, the first dispatcher I had spoke with was rushed and hadn’t taken information she was supposed to – [...]
Car Trouble
Could my life suck any more right now? I just had a very nice breakfast with tikva and I was on my way to meet up for lunch when suddenly the car started dragging something on the ground. Turns out to have been the front flap thing. I bumped the curb when I was parking [...]
