Evening, Woods...
RANT OF THE DAY: Needed a temporary piece of outdoor carpet/runner to put on front porch from steps to the door. Since the floor is freshly painted and I have no *&^%^&* grass, i don't want to be tracking dirt all over the floor. I can replace it with something better later. Homley Depot has a 6' wide runner which will be perfect for now. Price on line is $.27/ S.F., go to the store and it's marked $2.41/ L.F . which is $.40 / S.F.... I get some girl to help me. I show her the on line price and say that the store price is wrong. Try to explain that to a clerk in HD!! After a few minutes of explaining, she was lost. She just says "OK". Now I need a 10' length, so I ask for 10" 6". She's running it thru the measuring machine and I REPEAT..10'6". She says 'Yep"...she tapes it up and says " I just marked 10' on the tag"....I get home roll it out and i got *&^%^&* 9' 11"... I was PISSED!!! rant over...Thank, You!

Our governor is gay and liberal. I think we're a little bit ahead of others for the competition

So the plan for dinner turns out to be picking up Chili's to go I taking it to the Assisted Living place where my father-in-law is. Of course they didn't call it in ahead of time so we're sitting in the parking lot at Chili's waiting for the food.
