threads like this make me glad that i still
- own a bike and not a car
- pay my bills in person

Do you churn your own butter, too?

Yes. Peddling the bike turns the churn.

i have hired help that does that task for me, but I still do my own laundry down by the river.

Are you channeling Chris Farley? Anyway, don't know I'd want my laundry washed in the local rivers!

a little bit of borax and a scrub or ten across the washboard and you can't even tell.

I live on S. 11th St... over Memorial Day weekend I got a "blocking driveway" ticket for parking in front of my own garage (which I've done for years and years - as have my neighbors - and have never gotten a ticket; they all got tickets too). My guess is some PPA ticket jockey got a little overzealous over the holiday weekend.


I still have a week to do something about it... is it worth trying to appeal that?
