This is maddening!<BR/><BR/>I've been both home and awake for a total of three hours or so in the last four days, four days which have also seen me A) drive across the province twice in my twenty-year-old Volvo, B) squeeze as much time out of my Folk Festival weekend pass as possible despite having to work on the days I'd booked off three weeks ago, and C) goggle in bewilderment as my mother has two spectacular breakdowns with two different vehicles in the span of twenty-four hours because McPhillips Toyota is apparently staffed by gibbering subhuman nincompoops convinced that no courtesy car could ever need an owner's manual or <I>a jack</I> or anything like that in it.<BR/><BR/> As you might imagine, I've a bit of writing backlogged right now. Patience is the key! For myself, right now, if nothing else!James Hope Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143628957923923335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35424944.post-89155212611136533502008-07-11T10:00:00.000-05:002008-07-11T10:00:00.000-05:00Slurpee stories in the Freep for two days in a row...Slurpee stories in the Freep for two days in a row, including an item about Winnipeg possibly losing its Slurpee capital crown, and no comment from you, the oracle of all things Slurpee and murder?jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993642420099432605noreply@blogger.com
