No AC at Work=No Brain at Home

It was ninety-five degrees today. You know how you feel when you slowly cook all day long in your own sweat while pretending to be comfortable and professional? Yeah. Completely typical–I start recovering brain cells and it’s time to go to bed. *sigh* Some plotting done–more deciding limits on characters and stuff. I seem to […]

Adventure!!

So we don’t know the place.  So we only have limited funds and limited time and we don’t know what the hell we’re doing. You don’t think that’s going to keep us in the hotel, do you? I, KD the intrepid, vowed not.  (KD the coward was sleeping in, and KD the reasonable hadn’t had

The Slowest McDonald’s on the Planet

The Town that Got Eaten

Ever see one of those movies where the unsuspecting innocents drive into an empty town, and spend just a few minutes too long trying to figure out where everyone went? We needed gas, so we took an exit that promised it was available.  Also I desperately needed a bathroom.  The first gas station we pulled into

Hard to Believe

Ask anyone who has ever been in my car–I hit curbs.  Not very often anymore, but still at least once a month, I don’t judge my corner well and I bounce my poor little Corolla over a curb. So someone tell me why I hit not one curb (or anything else but bugs) in a
