After that last post, I found this blog post and tried it-- and wouldn't you know it, it worked like a charm. 95% of the little bastards were caught by the morning. I've also found this article on Hamasaki Ayumi which answers a lot of the things I've wondered about for years and this one on the atrocities of Wal-Mart. Shopping at Wal-Mart has always been a little bewildering but now it feels downright dirty, too.
Dad drove in at 10am yesterday and let me drive the Merc to take him back home. "Driving" is not the best word for it, though; "floating" or "gliding" would be better. The thing takes curves at 120mph without even rocking. We had some lunch and then I drove my new car home! It is, in a few words, the best car in the universe. It's a very pretty light brown color and Kelly, the previous owner, kept it in amazing shape. It's also much smaller than my old car and I was happy to discover that it handles as tightly as a go-cart; for once the Asheville/Athens drive was actually fun. I'm going to take good care of this thing and enjoy it for years.
And they caught Saddam around midnight. On one hand I'm glad he'll finally be held accountable for his actions. On the other.... goddamn. Why couldn't it've waited until after the election? |
