Stopped and bought bagels for the office. Took Flynn to day care. Drove the rental Sunpotato to work. Here I sit.

Can hardly wait to wrap things up and get out of here. Time off. Thank God.

Gotta tweak these fucking graphs again, kill them off...

Ah yes. Christmas here in San Diego. It's 80 degrees during the day.

It would be nice to at least have some cool weather (50 degrees). It's always hot here. It's always sunny here. Even at night.

Bailed out my car last night pending its being towed to Orange County today. $500 and I have it towed off their lot? Not impressive.

Thought I had money left over. I'm actually overdrawn. Terrific.

$1200 for Diane's gift. $500 for the car. Been selling everything I own on eBay. And I'm still overdrawn by about $16. Terrific. Really.

I sure miss having dope. "Light of Life" as I once heard it called -- Shel Silverstein's The Smoke Off. Been a long, dry year, and my one ace is long gone.

Driving some fucking rental car, some kind of Pontiac Sunbird or Sunfire or Sunpotato... disgusting. Noisy, cheaply made... I miss the Volkswagen. The Volkswagen is fun to drive.

What the fuck is wrong with the Volkswagen? It has been out of service for THREE MONTHS! The garage time was a total waste of time. There was nothing wrong with the original ECU. They were just guessing. More San Diego incompetence.
