    #pre-4th round-up

    Too much going on here at the home front. Moving ish is taking its toll. What with “the complications” and all. (If you don’t know, don’t ask…) The past couple weeks have been hellishly exhausting though, that’s the one thing that is for 100% certain. No end of [tag]work[/tag] on the Work front (which I assume is healthy though it doesn’t make me feel as such) and then the added bonus of coming home and trying to deal with “moving stuff” is ever enjoyable. A. has been a trooper and has dealt with an appreciable LOT of the load but her work is catching up with her, too. (Two experiments nose-diving in a row (first because of assistant error and the second due to equipment failure) have got her on the proverbial scramble…) We’re eager to wrap up this sordid chapter, that’s for certain.

    That said: relief comes in small but intense doses. A.’s childhood pal Deborah (and her folks) paid us a rather excellent visit this past weekend which helped to take some of the edge off. Of course, yours truly being one of those penultimate introverts: gimme some fuckin’ solitude for a change.

    A.’s experiments continue right through the fireworks tomorrow. Who knows what trouble I’ll get myself into… There’s an invitation out there for some Party Time but I think the best thing is some fresh air and solo hiking and solo out chilling. We’ll see, eh?

    Oh! And last but certainly not least: thanks to Tim for the [tag]Gus Gus[/tag] remixes. Sickest ever.

    #oldest Accord ever?

    Via Autoblog: 1976 [tag]Honda[/tag] [tag]Accord[/tag] may be the oldest still running

    The Goat [Johnson's GTO] had been eating a hole in Johnson’s pocket because of the era’s high gas prices, so he picked up one of them new fuel-efficient 1976 Honda Accords…

    But what I find to be the real “point” here is that not only did he go for the Accord because of fuel-economy but then he kept the sucker around and running as long as humanly possible.  Cut down on all the other nastiness associated with the high turn-over rates in automotive ownership: disposal, [tag]sprawl[/tag], etc.

    Or so it would be if Johnson did not own “several other vehicles”.  Oh well.
