Dilemma

This WAS Peggy's bike, she wanted to sell it because she owns too many horses....


Dilemma: 1. a. A situation that requires a choice between two evenly balanced alternatives.

I did some work for a friend of mine and was payed by check. This friend is on her way to becoming a very famous author (check the first blog for the shameless plug). Here's the dilemma do I cash the check (because the money would be great) or do I save it for the future when her signature will sell on ebay for a lot more. Could this be a plot by her to ensure I don't cash it at all?? The answer to this lies in her nature.

Consider this; She's an author and makes things up, you need a great imagination in order to be successful in the writing game. Mmmmmm! I guess that answers my question...very clever Pat....




On another note, my bride (look to the right) suggested I request comments after each post to kind of get everyone involved in the blog. So being the Geek guy that I'm, I checked the traffic to the site (This is truly a GEEK thing) and found it would be far easier if I just called the two people and ask them to make comments.


Aloha... kaha

Or my attention “to grasp a concept” ( Dead Metaphor ) would die like a road hog in deep despair. ( I think this is a mixed metaphor ) ( See, this is why I don't do this...I'm confused ) And at this writing I can only think of one I had heard a while back: “No matter what your parents tell you, It's ok to rev your own engine as high as you want, and you won't burnout your headlight.” I'll let you figure that one out. One of the best motorcycle metaphors was Mark Harmon in the movie “Summer School”. ( Buy the DVD, I'm t...

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.

(oil is now $55-$60 a barrel) Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil: Sunoco...................0 barrels Conoco..................0 barrels Sinclair.................0 barrels BP/Phillips.........
