Travel safe, return well.

I was just wondering if anyone wanted to join vok and me for lunch some where today?

update, sorry about the lack of responses, just after I posted this I ended up leaving the house to meet up with Melis.

Next time I'll say a specific time & location :D

Happy Birthday, vintage1960!

And Lord Frith was travelling over the Earth, and going to and fro upon it, when He did chance to espy Elilhrair-rah frolicking in the winter remains of Mr. McGillicuddy's Garden.
"Elilhrair-rah!" Did speak Lord Frith. "Do you not know that this is indeed Mr. McGillicuddy's Garden?"
"Yup." Answered Elilhrair-rah, for he was always full of insolence and spice. "It's winter, innit?"
"Truly, it is indeed Winter, Elilhrair-rah." Answered Lord Frith, still waiting for a complete answer from Elilhrair-rah.
"Well, there's snow, right?"
"Indeed, Elilhrair-rah. And how does that change matters?"
"Brother Dog is slow and heavy. He goes through the snow, I go over it." Elilhrair-rah shook first one of his great hind feet, then the other.
"Ah, but Sister Dog is a bit lighter and faster, and truly she can turn upon a ha'penny." Lord Frith warned Elilhrair-rah, for He felt He ought to be fair, even if Elilhrair-rah was a punk who was getting too big for his britches. "And she is unreasonably smart, besides."
"Pfft. Nobody's as fast as me, not if there's corners." And Elilhrair-rah didst turn his back upon Lord Frith, and go about his foolish way.

And truly, Sister Dog could turn upon a ha'penny, and indeed had the brain of a tactical computer, and didst catch and bring down Elilhrair-rah, who was therefore not able to rejoice with his wives and his children upon the return of Lord Frith to the skies.

I'm having trouble with this page, http://ursulagoddess.org/TN2010_Classes2.html

what am I doing wrong that some of it is readable and other parts of it overlap?

I have the original spreadsheet if anyone wants to look at it.

Thanks!

update -- I think I just fixed it! ... but I'm not sure exactly how I did it ...

( CH, (Rev. Ed.), Author's Notes. Hey, where's my story? )

Tags: clumsy heroes

Yesterday was special. Check my morning funnies (not so many, it WAS Thursday, after all) do some cleaning, then stroll out to the car to go get my nephew.
Hollow scraping sound, kinda like a fenderberg. Huh. Stop at the bottom of the driveway to check. Nope, can't see anything. Start moving again. "pff."
Okay, that is now a flat tire. Rats. Call SiL, to arrange for alternative pickup of Nephew while I change the dang tire.
Oh, great, my phone is getting charged. Run to house.
Okay, transport established.
Oh, swell, we've got one of those silly-a$$ spares. Bugger. Okay, get the old tire off, maybe I can see what the guilty party is. Bugger. Change positions. Okay, now it's coming off.

Son-of-an-ancestor.

Taurus' have coil-spring springs, not leaf-springs, at least in the front.
Now, when leaf-springs go, eh, your ride gets rough. When a coil-spring goes, a lethal dagger is produced, poised to cause horrible damage to your tire.

Seriously.

Luckily, this happened in my driveway, not tooling down the freeway at 10:00 at night. Which is where I had previously been using my car. Or tooling down the highway at noon. With my nephew. Like I would have been half-an-hour later.

Bless you, Guardian Angel.

Yeah, they can't just swap the spring out on my particular car. Oh, no. It's a major operation. And the other one was likely to go, too.
Luckily (hah) they sell them only in pairs.
So. My car basically has a totally new front suspension now.

Cars. Sheesh.
