Been an expensive two weeks over here at rancho trainwreck. Had the Transmission rebuilt on the Dodge (my favorite truck) to the tune of $2.000, the Conductors Emergency Room bills (insurance didn't kick in till Feb) came in last week from a Dec. visit. And - best of all- I owe Uncle Sugar almost $600.

Ahhhh, the life of an evil rich conservative.

Well, the good thing was the rattling shudder in the Dodge wasn't warped brake rotors, just a bulge on my rear tire.
