Running out of gas
Well I think it’s time to post, mainly to spite my wonderful sister. (love ya Carla!)
My company was recently acquired, and the new company offers a gym membership in their benefits package. Anyway, I knew that I was very low on gas, but I was 90% sure that I would be able to make it to the gym…. I was not right. I was so lucky to be very near to a freeway exit, and I was able to coast to within a few hundred feet of a gas station. So I was able to get a gallon of gas and run over to the gym, shower, and hop back in my car and go to work! So much fun!!!
I really shouldn’t be complaining because I am so very lucky to have run out in a good spot. It’s a funny story anyway, and a good excuse to update my blog. I think I’ll update the music too, I hope the “auto-play” feature doesn’t annoy too many people… let me know if it does.
Rob and I did that in Wyoming this summer, with a rental car. We coasted to the side of the freeway right near a gas station, which was amazing, considering how many gas stations there are in Wyoming… fun story!

Wow! You are a lucky man – I’m glad everything worked out. I am a bit curious to know how Carla got you to post – Did she blow up your nose….? Or something better…?

Legally I can’t comment on this alleged blowing up nose incident…

Thanks for posting. I was about to put your blog on my “don’t check ’cause it’s never updated list”…but now you have given me a very funny story and some information on Beck…I like the song…but the R2D2 sounds are a little distracting…just a thought
