"Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied." -Douglas Adams
(the rent is late…) The van’s left front tire hub bearing went out. It’s fixed now. Yay for the $530 repair bill… I kinda forgot to buy all the non-school-ish things on the kids’ school supply list.
