It's here too! So while you are doing nothing - entertain us! I'm running out of material.

How's the new toaster? (XB) did you get those designer bags I sent you? Purely for your driving pleasure.
Lynda!

Geez, I didn't get the yet. They would have come in handy yesterday.

The XB is just . . . uh . . . well, it's the XB. Needless to say, it was the vehicle of choice (not MY choice) for running here and there to celebrate the Holiday, so we could show it off to family and friends. They were all quite polite and didn't laugh in front of us.

Interesting fact: at 90MPH (we were running late), the gas mileage is terrible. Given the shape of the thing, it makes sense. Taking a large, flat object and pushing it through the air at high speed isn't really economical. Ugh. Though on the way home, at 60, it barely sipped fuel.

The mailman probably stole your bags Bruce. After all his vehicle is well...um.....not much different than the XB.

See the key is they didn't laugh......in front of you. But I bet they cackled and howled as you were pulling away. I can hear it now "Hey Irma did you get a load of what those crazy kids are driving these days? It's a box on wheels." As poor Uncle Ernie goes into a fit of laughter that really tests his lung capacity.

Humm......note to Bruce - never think you can drive and XB at 90 - first off gas mileage sucks and second of all is it actually safe at 90?

S would have been much more practical yesterday. Guess Bill will have to offically start converting you over to the whole "crush your SUV" tirade he was on a few months ago.

Where in Canada are you heading?

Hey, it's Jerry, right? Did I tell you that for some reason I thought your name was Mike, as in Michael Bolton?

Hope the plague goes away quickly.

But Bruce - a Lark would fit nicely into the back of the xbox. Perhaps Scott could mod it for you so you get top HP out of your scooter.

This freakin day is never going to end is it?!?! Why should I sit here not doing anything when I could be home bugging Jim and pestering the lame dog? Oh ya and Erick's alarm system - I could be bugging him as well.
