- While walking through the neighborhood, I heard one of those BOOM BOOM thumping bass idiotmobiles somewhere off in the distance. After a few seconds of listening it became clear that it was on the same street as me and that it would be passing me shortly. I immediately prepared my best "you are an idiot" angry scowl face but when the car finally went by I was unable to maintain total scowlage, breaking instead into some sort of bewildered / blown-mind half scowl. What I saw was this: a tan Toyota Corolla with its windows down, blasting obscenity laced hip-hop in all directions. The driver was a young woman. There was a 2-year old sitting in a carseat in the back. And there you have it.
- For years Libby has made a spectacular beverage that I like to call "Libby's Famous Lemonade". When it's hot out, there's nothing better. Well it was frickin' hot out this weekend and I was working outside for a while and when I came in looking for something to drink, I naturally asked her to make me a pitcher full. That's when she told me that she didn't feel like it and that if I wanted to make some for myself, the recipe was on the back of the lemon juice bottle. What kind of secret recipe is that?! It's a fraud, that's what it is. The lemonade has no clothes.
- First 3 possessions: 3 turnovers. Nice.
