Doesn't everyone?

No, but I thank my parking "Carma" and make an offering to the parking
gods by feeding the meter.

It's down now, but earlier in the week gas was $3.45 for premium.

Why should I stare? He didn't forget his Levis.

Did you hear about the 4+ EARTHQUAKEs we've had this week? Are they
foreshadowing another "Big One"?. Oooooooo, I'm soooo scared.

If the big one comes in conjunction with global warming and rising sea
levels, all I can say to you (Myrl) is "I hope you have a houseboat".
The levies will break and the flood plains will be flooded once again.
Honestly, I don't know why Californian's are still ignoring their levy
system after the New Orleans disaster. It happened there and it can
happen here. It's the price of delayed maintenance.
