September 20, 2011 I have a book from the library that is overdue. I don’t want to return it. I know I won’t be able to renew it. And I still need it. So if I just keep it, even if it is overdue, then I can still use it. A brilliant plan, or so […]
September 4, 2011 I was cut-off again in traffic. A truck pulled out of a gas station, right in front of me. I had to swerve to avoid rear-ending them. I pushed on my horn and braked quickly. I don’t think they even bothered to look before pulling out. I drive a lot. My work […]
