Too bad it's such a crappy cold, windy, damp day up here... wife & son are
working overtime tonight so it would have been a good opportunity for me to
hit the open road with the dog.

The lease return inspection went well...I had heard some horror stories
about the 3rd party inspection company (AutoVin) that a lot of car companies
are using now. This guy was good...maybe the heavy rain mellowed him out.
I didn't have to pay for any excess wear & tear. Odometer read 29902
kilometers...I was allowed 60096.


Well, isn't that special. Why do you feel it necessary to post your
purchases here?


I purchased a Subway $5 foot long meatball and cheese combo for lunch
today.

Let us know how they wear. My wife bought some socks there and the
heels were gone after about five wearings. But she walks all day.

Good grief! I thought it was only me.
I bought a 12 pack of socks from Costco in the fall and already a number of
them are in the trash with some others showing small holes in the heel area.
I blame it on the loose fitting, slip-on style duck shoes that I'm forced to
wear this time of year...if it's not snowy, it's muddy in the park.
