think about the woman at the Speedway where you fill up every morning. The one who has the good hair and the bad muffintop. Her pants are so tight she must have to pull up the zipper with a chain hoist. What was she thinking? And the guy who was bitching to the attendant about the price of gas, as if SHE could do anything about it. What was HE thinking? First of all, when you BOUGHT the Escalade, you KNEW it got 8 miles to the gallon; now that the price of gas has more than doubled it’s the ATTENDANT’s fault?

Now think about that pair of socks you bought at Vegas, the ones with the Scooby Doo Christmas theme. THe ones you wore (and nothing else) while you were dancing with that hooker at Ed’s bachelor party. The ones now covered in body glitter, so you don’t dare take them out of your luggage and let them mix with your other clothes? What were you thinking?

Try to leave the garbage of your past week at the curb, and bring back the containers empty tonight to be refilled anew. You know you’re going to do something stupid in the next week, so you’ll need the space.

I will start this since I have had absolutely NO luck getting anyone to do any of the work.

I would like to see a blogmeet of Midwest Bloggers, though of course anyone would be welcome to attend, and I’m thinking the 23. 24, 25 of June, or the 15, 16, 17 of July. This is a suggestion only, I need to know who can come and when.

My very tentative plan of activities would involve arriving at Chicago Midway on the friday evening, dinner for whosoever can attend that evening at Klas or someplace similar. Saturday would be a range day either in a local Illinois club or a local Indiana club. Outdoors preferred. Potentially with a BBQ. Saturday evening dinner at someplace close to the city for everyone’s convenience. Sunday morning brunch and everyone hits the road for home. Anyone got any ideas otherwise? Please leave comments or post on your own blog.

UPDATE: IN CASE I DID NOT MAKE THIS CLEAR, THESE ARE “SUGGESTED” DATES. If you are not available, let me know the dates you ARE available. I want as many as possible to make it. So PUT THE DATES THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU IN COMMENTS.

broad: I’m already figuring you’ll ride with me.
