The big tank under the station has one gallon in it. Everybody joins hands and prays <i>real hard</i>. The group gets three chances of five minutes each--and if there isn't then enough to fill all the tanks, that group has to take off and make way for a group that has <i>real</i> faith and isn't afraid to put it to the test! I'll just be in the office under the ac, feeding the drop safe. Thank you drive through. I’m going to start a Loaves & Fishes gas station: everybody pays $1.00 per gallon in advance.

This is what happens when you eat a lot of Mexican food and then decide to splurge and drive over to Big Lots to buy a case of Cup-o Noodles at 30 cents per cup-o when you should be staying glued to clusterflock. I missed out on this whole thing, and now I'm in a panic that I'm too late to get my prayers answered. Mr. Jeff, do you think the Jesus Store has any money left? Oh, great balls of fire!

Sometimes when I'm inside unoccupied houses removing the pipes and wires I forget to turn off the water and power but it's mostly okay I think. One time the house wasn't abandoned and it turns out the people who live there were just at an outlet mall all day and boy it was awkward when they came home. Oh, and blogging. Anything left over after paying for my son's orthodontia will be money to just blow on whatever I feel like.

"And: you're only a two-hour drive from St. Louis." That's what they told me the first time I interviewed for a job down there. That "two-hour drive from St. Louis" has haunted me for years.
