Why I love Easter

Tax dollars hard at work

This is the following email conversation this morning with my sister.

Jennifer: Yahoo had a picture of a gas sign that had $3.99 -- and that was the cheap stuff. I think premium was $4.19. Holy crap. I'm going to have to get a horse.

Mel: Try a moped. With a basket. They get great gas mileage.

Jennifer: Picture it: me, on a moped, bicycle basket with flowers strapped to the front, Peyton in a car seat behind me, both of us in full face motorcycle helmets. Puttering over the mountain.. . and almost at the top of the mountain I'll be crouched over the handlebars, willing the moped to make it. . .

Mel: An artists' rendering....

and then i attached the following:

Man I love Paint

Oh for the love of Mary Poppins

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
