When I moved to Georgia Gasoline was $1.39

I am suffering from overload. Imagine that I am sitting in the kitchen, with Dcup on my right, Keith O is on the TV and the White Sox - Indians game is plugged into my left ear. In an ideal world I would be sitting in Chicago watching that ball game at US Cellular Field.

We all know the debate is on tonight but today one of my former students stopped by to say hello. Ole Miss gave him the day off. Also, I was "McCained" by a school board candidate. On Wednesday, I received an email telling me that a certain school board candidate would be visiting my class but Ms. Candidate was a no show.

Tonight, Dcup and I had a contest. I won and lost. She found out that she can drive her car 60.9 miles after the gas light turns. I only went 42.3 miles but I made it home. She didn't.

I discovered that my neighbors and friends will help out if they can. Old boy neighbor drove me to pick-up Dcup a few miles away, near her abandoned car. Later, I called coach Larry and he still had a can of gas. I waved my twenty his way and drove off to retrieve D's car. Clearly, my strategic reserves were not large enough.
