I take your "zings" as friendly little hellos, Mouse. They have no sting.

As for the book, he just finished it!

...walking in the crosswalk, almost got hit by the guy driving his convertible texting through a Red light. I stopped to keep from being hit, and two pedestrians bumped into me from behind because...they were texting!

They seemed pissed because I stopped in front of them. Really?

No no, a first world problem would be more like this:

And this ONE:


I got a new car that only has one of those electronic fob things. You keep it in your pocket and the car locks and starts as long as it is near. That really annoyed me. I'm used to trad keys.

But it gets WORSE!


After driving the new car for a few weeks I got so used to the new keyless fob thing that now I'm bummed that I have to use a real key on my truck! It' such a pain in the ass to have to reach up and pull the key out of the ignition and put it in my pocket.

THEN I walked to my front door and it was lock and I had to use a conventional key to unlock it. I feel like a third worlder now because my keyless fob doesn't work on all my locks.

Spider, ya live in a third world house. Get with the program and get a
keyless entry system installed.

We had a power outage yesterday. An hour and a half without AC? Are you kidding me?

This is a real (underlined) First World Problem.
My tv is on "the box," the one I had to get to keep getting broadcast reception.
I am on the computer, watching the 49er game on the stupid tv.
Aside from the piss-poor, constantly interrupted reception, which is a hallmark of this "improved" method of airing programs, there is a big, big problem.
Every so often, when the interruptions peak, the box switches the program to a Spanish language channel.
What I found is that by turning off the box, I can recover the signal from the NBC affiliate.
BUT I'M MISSING TOUCHDOWNS, not to mention beer and truck commercials.
It's enough to frost my whine glass filled with Merlot, a wine best drunk at ambient temp, maybe slightly chilled.
Poor Mousie.

At least the Niners are looking like they're winning!

Harbaugh rules!
