This Is A Black & White Picture of Me Air-Fiddling In a Tuxedo.
Well, that was a bit embarassing.
Hello, dear reader. Things at EVI HQ have been a little hectic lately. First, I was shipped off to the Midwest to sit in a room, then stand in a room, then sit in a room, then stand in a room, and so on and so forth, while someone chanted in a foreign language. Then, I was placed in front of the world’s largest scoreboard and subjected to a game between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals. Then I was forced to travel via commercial airline - and that was the only bright spot of the trip (thanks to the freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies).
I kid, I kid. The Bat Mitzvah wasn’t bad, either.
Anyway, I apologize for leaving you high and dry lately. And there’s so much I’d like to talk about.
For example, did you know that people who moved to suburbs that are really far from their jobs are complaining about high gas prices?
But life on the edges of suburbia is beginning to feel untenable. Mr. Boyle and his wife must drive nearly an hour to their jobs in the high-tech corridor of southern Denver. With gasoline at more than $4 a gallon, Mr. Boyle recently paid $121 to fill his pickup truck with diesel fuel. (emphasis mine)
Poor guy! He can’t afford his commute anymore! How could he possibly make that more affordable? Gee, I’m really stumped on this one.
I promise, I’ll have plenty more to tell you sometime soon. But in the meantime, enjoy this picture of the worst subway ad… ever.

radiotooth says:Same thing in Seattle. I got it firsthand when I was asked by a client to carpool with (meaning: drive) another contractor to the job. Before I knew the whole story, I agreed. And then learned that he lived closer to the gig than I did, and “couldn’t get himself to the job because he would have to take the bus for an hour or 1.5 hours”. How is an hour-long commute cruel or unusual? It’s amazing when people complain about things like this, as if the rest of the world isn’t in the same position.

Mel says:“subjected to a game between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals”
Subjected??? Some people would consider themselves lucky to go to Kaufman stadium and sit outside in one of greatest stadiums in the country. The team might not win but the Ketchup race is pretty fun to watch.

lozo says:subjected to an 11-10 game that was probably one of the five-most entertaining games of the year. rough, for sure.
if you need any help, especially with the vacuuming of the sand from your vagina, you know where to find me.

Chris says:lozo: You forget, the last ten baseball games I’ve seen have involved either the Red Sox or the Yankees.
It was entertaining, that’s for sure.
