so if you went and cut and pasted the web address to see if it would actually work, comment! (that means you Darrell)

259 posts and counting!

it occurred to me today that the web address of my blog might not be representative of my life anymore. i started this blog in June 2005 and at the time picked an address that would be something i remembered. i am usually sure of what cars i own (although i have been known to try to get into a used-to-own) so i looked outside and found two fords and a dodge. thus the address is born! as i was walking downstairs from tucking my boy in today, i was trying to remember what cars were the two fords and a dodge. i believe they were a ford tempo, a ford mustang and a dodge durango. if that is wrong it could have been a mustang, durango and a 1987 f150. or it could be a ford mustang dodge durango or a 1995 f150. now none of this means anything now. my automotive world has been turned upside down on me. very cool! so i have been thinking that my address should represent my life as it is now. so from this point on, please go to my new blog address

just kidding, that its way to long.

top 10 reasons to buy a big freeekin truck over a spindly little corn popper

kersmmmmmmmmmmmash! that is what a Sunfire (cavalier) sounds like when it rams a dodge Durango on purpose! "dude, don't call the cops" is what the drunk man with only one leg says! "ummm, i kinda have to sir" is what I say, "YOU CANT KEEP ME HERE AGAINST MY WILL" screams the drunk man. "i will claim this as a hit and run"says I! "Man, I will pay for the damages" says the drunk man.
oooh, look at that, the drunk, one leg'd, man is running (sorta) from the cops! the police are faster! and now the drunk man is being carried to the cop car.
he is being held on 7 criminal charges! I have a smashed truck high centered on a snow bank! actually, i don't. the tow trucks took both cars to the smashed car lot! i made friends with 2 cops and 2 tow truck drivers.
