I love filling out applications. Maybe it’s a symptom developed during excessive years of schooling, or maybe its a sign of unhealthy self-interest, but I love filling out forms which tell other people everything they never wanted to know about me. First for work, then for volunteer opportunities at church: My opportunities to document ME [...]

I know the drawbacks of the diesel Mercedes well, and at the top of an extensive list is the following complaint: They stink. They produce black clouds of lung-clogging diesel stench which are [...]
I’m sweaty. It’s hot out, and I’ve been biking. But there’s a quart of GoSpo in the freezer, so it must be true that the universe always balances itself. Ying and the yang. Carl Sagan.

Thanks to a suggestion by Luna, the bike ride train leaves the Everest station around 6:30 pm (unless Paul has to go buy a large kitchen appliance). Check here for updates. Or you can always call for updates.
