In person, bye Sarah
I stood by my first Camaro in person yesterday. Ali had told me that there had been one in the 
parking lot at work for the past couple days so I swung by to take a look. I spotted the car immediately. It was a red base model. A woman that worked there had also wandered over to take a look at the car. She commented on how sharp it looked. I agreed.
The base model Camaro is no slouch, it has a 300 HP motor and shares most of the styling cues of the upgraded model that I want to eventually get, the SS. I wasn’t nuts about the red color but the car looked sweet regardless. Ironically this morning I saw my second Camaro ever in the Naples area on the way to work. This one was a black SS with the ground effect package.
Someday I will be rowing through the gears of one, someday.
The other day I also took a picture of the current state of my tonneau cover on the Tacoma. As you can see, having 20 gallons of water laying on a cover is not a good thing.
My mom is going to be coming over for a few days this weekend. Ali has a conference for a few days so we could use mom’s expertise as a dog baby sitter so I don’t have to run home from work at lunch time. We might have mom help us start on painting the dining room if she wants to. Mom has always enjoyed painting. That is one trait that she did not pass down to me, I don’t like painting much at all.
I saw a bit of the Michael Jackson thing yesterday. Some of it was touching, like when his daughter and Brooke Shields spoke on mic. Some of it was gaudy and over the top. For example I thought it was silly that all of the Jackson brothers were wearing sunglasses, matching suits and single white gloves. For once in their lives could they possibly not be a circus act? Bury the poor guy already, he has to be pretty stinky by now.
Hey Sarah Palin stepped down as governor the other day and I forgot to mention it. I heard her goodbye speech was the typical rambling, non-sensical dribble America has come to expect from her highness. I don’t buy the spin that this was a move to help her in a bid for higher political office.
Leaving the office makes sense if you have been offered and accepted a higher position. Walking away unexpectedly with nothing lined up is just irresponsible if she actually cared about fulfilling the duties she swore to do. Instead I am sure that this had more to do with the various investigations that have been ongoing into various shady events that she has been involved in since she has been in political office. Maybe she got tired of putting out fires.
If Sarah Palin EVER becomes president I will then know definitively that America has collectively lost it’s mind for good. There is no turning back at that point. She makes George Bush look like Einstein.
