I was holding out for Quadruple Tree.

I think I still have "Mitch All Together" on my iPod. ^

When I was a boy, I laid in my twin-sized bed and wondered where my brother was.

Hopefully your room isn't on the 14th floor...

A few odd items that came up today while shopping for food on the diet:

Fiber One Pop Tarts have 190 calories per single pop tart. Yes, the box of healthy pop tarts has 1,140 calories.

Some DB at Michelina's decided to make "Lean Gourmets" that are low-calorie only because the box contains 1.5 servings. I came across three different ones in the store.

For those that were talking about the Colorado River and Lake Travis, we drove by a measurement station on the way home and the river was at 5' at a place where it is normally 13-15'.

Just bought a box of their chewy bars today, haven't tried them yet. Funny, one chewy bar has slightly more calories, fat and sugars than a rice krispies treat bar.

Yeah, I live about five miles up the road from the lake and it is crazy when I look at it.

Sorry to see/read about the wreck. I hope you are okay. It doesn't look too bad. I don't think it is considered totaled. My eyes could be deceiving me. Pictures sometimes don't show all the damage. Though, if it were my car, I would fix it, then upgrade to a 2009 WRX or just wait a month or so till they start clearance on the 2009 WRX or STis (w/ 265HP, the WRX is a good bargain compared to the STi). Good luck w/ whatever you decide to do (coming from a fellow Subaru enthusiast).^

That's really not that funny.

It all must be very confusing for you. On the one hand, you have a co-worker telling you you're not a team player, and then a poster telling you you're too much of a team player.:D

HA HA HA. One acts like a troll and the other is a troll. :D

My son thought he should be eating PowerBars at his soccer games. So I bought a few (holy crap are they expensive) and then discovered that a Snickers bar had less calories, tasted better and was much cheaper and contained the same ingredients.

I've had that type of soup for breakfast.

I'd rather they total it, and just write me a check. But either way, I will get a new car. The 09 WRX is pretty nice, but it's still about $2,000 more than a Mazdaspeed3. I don't really need 4-wheel drive in Southern Cal or TX, and after 2 Subarus (or 3 if including my brief ownership of my parents' LGT), I want to try something else.

I don't mind a Nissan 370Z either, but that's almost $10K more after options. And less practical.

Good night Box.

I'm off to work. We have one flight still stuck in EWR on a MX delay....of course this aircraft makes up one of our EWR red-eyes. It might be a long night.

PS: note to myself-- don't make any public PA's about servicemen and don't let anyone tear their pants tonight. :D
