My wife purchased three padded envelopes yesterday at the grocery store. They were marked $1.00, $1.25, $1.25.

teller: That will be $9.
wife: Uh... That can't be right.
teller: Oh sorry. It is $6.
wife: Um... I could be wrong, but when I do it in my head, I get $3.50.
teller: Oops. Yeah, that's right.
wife: (hands her a $10 bill)
teller: (hands my wife back $2 in change)
wife: OK, I gave you a $10 bill. That is not the correct change.
teller: (fumbles around and finally gives correct change)

I paid fit something at a convenience store the other day as follows:

Total: 3.17

I didn't have singles or exact coinage but didn't want that much change. So I gave her a $5 bill and a quarter. The confusion and consultation with the other employee as I tried to explain was hilarious.

I have snow tires mounted on a set of cheap wheels. I just changed them out for my regular tires and wheels. Why does it make me feel like a kid, all giddy like, to get my better-looking wheels back?

It is more about the ride than the wheels IMO. The first week or so that I have the regular tires on I always really enjoy driving either of our vehicles.

Also NWC just taking his snowtires off? Baller move, only about 9 weeks after the deadline. Driving around central Oregon giving cops the finger.

I'm enjoying a Diet Barq's root beer right now. I prefer A&W, but this is kind of a nice change.

Lol! I'm not badass enough to drive studded tires past the deadline. Just regular snow tires. I'm not going over the pass enough to justify the studs.

Yeah, I notice a better ride also. But it actually makes my ride a little noisier, as my regular tires are low profile. It's mostly the look for me.

I wonder if I'm a little cooler today because my aunt Sandy went to Pierce Brosnans 59th birthday party, and ended up talking to Barbara Streisand for 30 minutes in Kelli Brosnans walk in closet.

Nah... I was already cool.

Solvency II really sucks.

Random Utah Musings.

1. - OK... So I've been in Provo for 6 hours, and have seen a dozen people with blue tooth ear pieces. In Oregon, I haven't seen a blue tooth head set for over a year. Is Zion ahead of the curve, or 5 years behind?

2. - I find it delightful to hear a full on -Utah Mormon Accent. Brings me back to me youth.

3. - I only come to Utah every 3 or 4 years, but when are they going to finish the freeway projects around here? Seems like it's been going on forever.

I haven't seen one in ages. They aren't that common.

From Orem northward will be finished this year and Orem southward will be finished in 2013. God willing. I am sick of orange barrels.

I just did some calculations and I will be home a total of nine days over the next five weeks. What on earth was I thinking?

Don't every volunteer to work on a golf tournament committee.

And don't ever allowed most of the stuff to be dumped in your lap with 3 weeks to go. People will be mean to you, and efforts will be unappreciated.

Lesson learned.

Will this be more of a burden for you or your family? From what I get out of your post, you will have a tougher time.

Combination of work and vacation.

They'll just find something new to tear up and greatly inconvenience people.

It's one am - wife and daughters kicked me out of the room. I talked to the desk clerk and he comped me my own room after hearing the funny story. Well, at least I thought it was funny.

Teeing off at 7 am - better get some sleep.
