Interesting. The IRS is buying shotguns. How come they’re allowed to purchase 14″ barrels and I’m stuck buying 18″ ones? The knoxx stocks are nice though. Had a buddy who had one of those. By the books they cost 100 clams or so. He bought his, and then ran out of credit on his card, so he got tacked with overdraft fees and late fees and what not. End result it cost him 500 clams. Ah, credit, you harsh mistress.
Or, follow the money, as the case may be. . .
I bought a new watch today. My old one was working just fine, except it would, on occasion, decide to lose time. Either A) I was being abducted by aliens or B) something was amiss. It came from the fine folks at Dakota, who make a killer little watch that clips onto a belt loop and has a can opener, tweezers, toothpick, and knife in it as well. It’s like the Swiss tossed one of their army knives and a watch into the blender and then charged you the going rate for Nazi gold on it. As near as I can tell though, because it was on said belt loop, and because i bounce around a lot (my bounce per ounce is off the scales!), it kept losing the aforementioned time.
So I decided to go digital. I was sold on the one that came with a moon phase calculator, a light, a UV sensor, and a temperature reading. No knives, but that’s okay since the TSA had harassed me in the past over it.
Turns out, there’s a minor problems. Since it’s on my belt loop, it’s effectively resting on my leg for most of the day. My leg is a furnace. My house is kept at 65 degrees, the watch claims it’s 78. Eek!
Apparently, I alone am responsible for Gore’s global warming.
Merry Christmas everyone! Catch ya’ll in a week!
