Ninety three dollars and twenty three cents later, my car has been registered once again with the Centennial State. Work has been slow and I was offered the opportunity to go home an hour earlier than usual. I checked my snail mail, found the new lease for 2005, didn't find the documents for new registration and sped downtown to take care of business.
Odd thing at the DMV, they asked for my ID and then when I cut a check they asked for my ID once again as if I had mysteriously changed my identity in the span of the last five minutes. Perhaps anyone who goes to the DMV is under the scrutiny of the Patriot Act, subject to immediate incarceration at one of FEMA's hidden death camps.
I added the little bit at the end for my beloved raddidge.
Four miles later and I'm home again. I made dinner, played Katamari Damacy and realized I'm burned out on the game. It's best to avoid the game until this weekend so raddidge and I can play head to head.
I was in the company of vampires. The dream had me pushing my way through crowds, never reaching the edge and open space. Someone started firing into the crowd from a catwalk. I jumped down, put on my sunglasses to hide my red eyes and willed myself to merge with the shadows.
Later I stumbled upon a deli in the middle of nowhere. I didn't even see the place until it was twelve feet away from me. They sold meatball sandwiches, two enormous meatballs the size of oranges stuffed into a hard roll. The meatballs were bland but it reminded me of the food in New Jersey.
Even though I got eight hours of sleep, I was dragging ass on Wednesday morning.
The culture behind safety belts rubs me the wrong way. First and foremost, if safety belts were so important then why is there a move to strongly enforce the law between May and September but for the other months most people are left off with a warning? Secondly, if the state of Colorado is so keen on the safety of its citizens why doesn't Colorado enact mandatory motorcycle helmet laws? Motorcycles don't have safety belts and even the slightest accident on a motorcycle could get a skull pulped like an overripe watermelon. Heck, it'd be another source of traffic-themed revenue for all levels of government here in the Centennial State. Finally this removes the aspect of darwinism from the daily lives of people.
raddidge has been keen on me to wear my safety belt. I understand and respect her but I'm stubborn and fat and old and ornery.
Suggestions are welcome.
