Day: October 10, 2005

Some may call it ADHD, ADD, AADD or whatever. I call it non-linear thinking.

So, there I was setting a possible battery replacement for Lovely Daughter’s car up for a recharge, when a series of pinballing connections fired through my brain (outside installing the battery, front yard, used tire-based retaining wall landscaping project, mole problem, etc.) resulted in thinking, “I want one of these.  Maybe two.”

“May I serve you?”

Note: with the rare exception such as Tom Tancredo (congressman from Colorado), the snark above is an example of taking illegal immigration more seriously than our esteemed cpngresscritters do. For more sober takes on the issue, see Kit Jarrel’s Guard The Borders Blogburst post today, or perhaps THM’s Bacon Bits’ post, “Guard the Borders: Fixing a Broken System”.
