Another reason why smoking can kill you:
I was going to go buy some smokes when I realized I was blocked in, again, in the driveway by trench guy trucks. I thought they were GONE! Well, I knew they weren't gone...they've been pounding blue bitch rock all afternoon (so much for that peaceful rainy day feeling). But...
So, no one to drive the truck away. I rambo'd my little vehicle up and back and around, and as I deftly defied gravity going on the *around the orange and white thingy* (sorry for the tech talk) I glanced down on the other side...into the six foot trench about a foot from my wheels.
I have to say, I seriously considered going into the trench for a second, just for the grrr of it. But my car is so small, I could see it flipping sideways and instead of half the car in the trench, I'd be a trench sandwich filling, which would NOT be funny. Nah, Nancy would be seriously irritated, I could feel it. OSHA would be irritated too, that they didn't get the bust.
Remember when they dug up town about six times? Well, that seems to be what's happening here...outside my drive. I was nice already, move along!!
The photo is after I got back, about 10 minutes later, with the trench that wanted me mostly filled in for the night.

Yikes!
But what is really funny is you used to walk EVERYWHERE. You gotta take the car out just for a pack of smokes?

Not to worry, Gizmo Guy is working
on the solution. I'm taking my perpetual
motion machine which I developed for NASA,
(they still owe me money, said it didn't
work..it did!) and I'm applying it to a
4 wheel bicycle car and screw Wall Street
and Cheney!
Is that too political? Anyways I can see it
now...not the car...the publicity! I'll
call it the GIzmo Car!Attachment: Gizmo Car.png (Downloaded 31 times)

Grabbing the headlines today, ahead of Gizmo Guy, is our own MikeyMoto, who unveiled his electric bicycle on the streets of Culebra...yes, not California, not Europe, but Culebra. Because I have the Hedda Hopper inside edge, I was allowed to have the reporters from CNN, Scientific American and Popular Mechanics get their butts out of the way to take this debut shot of Mike and his Magic Bicycle! No, folks, that is not his lunch bucket, it's the battery, which Mike also invented. Yesterday. Pronounced Baah teer eeeeee. One day you'll be able to buy your very own!

Excellent, Gifford!
And one could even carry a pack of cancer sticks in the battery compartment.
And in the winter, you could keep your hot chocolate hot in the battery compartment.
And during H season, you could heat your beans and franks in the battery compartment.
And. . .
