... jeezus stutters

... hallelujah and all that stuff! and yesh, i wrote jeezus like that..."jeezus," so suddenly every search engine in the world wouldn't hook into my site thinking i was a hardcore worshipper. and nnnnoh, i have no problem with people who are religious, please no one be offended, it's jes' not my cuppa tea. i live by the golden rule, and to me it's jes that simple. i jes' thought it was funny (you all know i'm a sick bastard) that 77777 came across my car's mileage counter on friday.

'course the other funny thing is that by some small measure of divine intervention, i was able to get gas not 5 minutes later right before the fumes i was driving on went poof and magically stranded my ass. even more ironic, that AM, i filled up my tank, whistling innocently as i capped off the top, got back into my car and drove to work. by the time i GOT to work there was no power in the Woodinville and Bothell area, and by 10 am more than 1 million energy paying customers in Washington State had no power. gas stations in powered areas RAN OUT... that's right,... RAN OUT... and somehow, that AM... i gots-me-sum gas and happily puttered away into the darkness...

yuppers, the huge rain and windstorms really kicked my area's arse. tons of people with no power and no hope of warm water for at least another couple of days. somehow we didn't get effected, we lost power about 4 times Friday night for 45 second stints, but then it came back on! woop woop!

hope you all are safe, warm, happy and have a big cuppa joe or hot chocolate nearby. more later on this week when i have something intelligent to share...
