And your crybaby, whiny-assed opinion would be...?

Did the employee in charge of setting the sign really forget how to spell Angus?

I like the band aids that are made out of that fabric instead of the plastic (?) kind. But the fabric band aids come loose as soon as I get in the shower. And it seems to me that a band aid should last more than three days.

Today I realized that in addition to other examples of the simplicity of a '67 Beetle is the fact that the headlights have no high beam. Which explains why I looked in vain for that button or switch somewhere.
I've been using Gerta for errands and a pattern is developing. A guy asks me what year it is, I tell him it's a '67, and he says, "I owned a ____." Today it was a '54; yesterday it was a '66.

This video promotes the NFL's Fantasy League. Stupid funny.
Pick Me

Another day, another nominee in trouble over tax issues; this time it's Obama's pick for Labor Secretary. It's actually the nominee's husband who has a $6,400 IRS debt dating back 16 years. I don't know which concerns me more - that a guy has a tax bill dating back that far or that the IRS who let him skate for that long. Then again, the IRS is now being run by a guy who hadn't paid his taxes, so who's surprised?

I have a big problem each year about this time. Well, except for the years when I totally forget. And that has historically run to about 50% of the time.
Pam's birthday is Feb. 13th and the next day is Valentine's. I won't forget this year because it will show up on the right side of my Facebook page. But remembering is just the first part, the easy part.
If you knew my track record you'd understand that this unfortunate alignment of significant dates serves only to double the chances that this particular husband will get it wrong.
For a gift I'm thinking a full set of metric box wrenches with an offset. Or maybe a combination dwell meter and circuit tester. Then dinner out. The local Vintage VW club has their monthly meeting Tuesday night at Big Boy.
Do you think that will take care of it? I could throw in a boxed set of McGuire's car care products.

Tomorrow morning's focus is sermon prep. We're in 1 Cor. 4 this week.
Who would you NOT want mad at you? I'm talking justifiable anger, righteous wrath.
Whoever you think of, put an apostle at the top of that list.

Sometimes I plant things in my sermons and my blog posts - verbal Easter Eggs. Not all the time. Depends on what mood I'm in and how ADD my brain is at the moment. Jeff sometimes caught them in my sermons. They're nothing really sophisticated, just a phrase or some alliteration.
I put a couple in last night's post.
