Josh damn, on 87 S, this mini-van came flying up on me outta nowhere. All of a sudden, police lights everywhere. Apparently 80 mph was too slow for them. That was either a pretty bas-ass soccer mom late for practice or a trooper that got the shaft when picking their ride.
WOW, after sleeping on our new mattress, I feel like what I have been doing every night up until now is not really sleep, but instead just some entirely insufficient laying down time. I think I forgot what sleep was. Sleep is awesome!
That's it, after sleeping on a matress that is not 8 years old and sleeping straight through the night and feeling completely rested after 7 hours, I'm getting a new mattress. Wifey agrees.
Just learned from his Micro-economics text book that in addition to the 7.65% of my income I pay in taxes to FICA (social security / medicare), due to the differences in the elasticities in the supply and demand of labor, I am actually the one bearing the burden of the additional 7.65% my employer pays in the form of lower wages. Awesome, that's...
