Government Motors Logo

Hey, wait a second. I don’t remember wanting to get into the car business right now. But Obama and Co. say we are, so I guess we are. Let’s see, another $30 billion in bailout money. There’s about 130 million taxpayers, so that averages out to about $2,300 bucks a piece. Wonderful.

I do hope that GM can turn things around. What really ticks me off, though, is the whole EV1 saga. Have you seen Who Killed the Electric Car? Had GM kept with the EV1, they could be riding high right now. Especially since they claim it was bettery technology that killed the project. Well, I think that’s in place now.

Hmmm… a quick check reveals that www.savethebuicks.com is still available. Anyone? Anyone?

So what’s funny about all this? Honestly, not very much. I guess just laugh at my new Government Motors  logo. Then maybe cry a bit.

Normally I don’t recommend a careful cleaning of a file cabinet. No, it’s usually straight to the recycle bin or shredder. But I might change my mind. After all, I almost recycled this particular find.

Yeah, that’s right, I am officially certified in “Computer Literacy.” So you can take your J2ee, SAP, JAVA, ASP.NET, ActionScript, or whatever else you’ve got. Do you have this?

What’s that you say? 1992? Oh, well, yeah, I guess that’s true. I’m not even sure what it meant to be certified back then! Did it mean I was capable of doing the 25-in-a-row floppy disk install? Or that I could change the vacuum tube if it burned out? Or remove a punch card if it got stuck?

It probably meant that I finally beat Oregon Trail without losing a wagon wheel or dying from dysentery. Something my teacher never could quite do.

So it turns up that I’ve been missing a vital step in the home improvement process.

We’ve got an old home that has required a lot of trips to Lowes, The Home Depot, etc. And I’ve purchased a lot of things – tools, materials, you name it.

But apparently, just purchasing those items doesn’t solve the problem. Turns out you actually have to use those things in order for the work to get done. Just putting them in your garage doesn’t seem to work. Dang it. Sure wish it worked automagically.

By the way, if you’re crazy enough like me to tackle a major floor remodel, you absolutely have to check out Lumber Liquidators Clearance. They have amazing selection and prices.
