PALIN VISITING TROOPS WELL BEFORE ANYONE COULD CALL THIS A PR STUNT FOR THE CAMPAIGN:

July 30, 2008

Yes, I am alive…

Hey gang. Hope everyone is doing better than me.

In case you haven’t hard, I was involved in a dramatic car crash on Saturday the 19th of July. I was driving into own to get some lunch and drop by the ATM on my way to the lake for the afternoon. On my way down the mountain I had a hypoglycemic blackout. I crossed across 3 lanes of traffic, cut a phone pole in half and smashed into the front of an empty restaurant. Live power lines fell over my car & they had to cut power to a chunk of town to pull me out. I got medevaced by helicopter to UAB hospital in Birmingham. 

I have had my right hip rebuilt. The ball in my hip joint was smashed through the socket and back out agin. I also had to have a broken nose set.

So, my car is totaled, I can’t walk for the next 10 weeks & may lose my job. How is everyone else doing?

YARBZ OUT OF TOWN:

Hola rabble. I shall be out of town and FB is in charge… Be kind and buy him beers. I shall be in Washington DC hanging with the losers who go there seasonally… Actually, I’ll avoid politicians if at all possible.

I shall visit Marine barracks at 8th & I for the Friday Evening Parade. Wonderful and magnificant stuff. I recommend everyone see this once before they die…

GM THINKING ABOUT 15 YEARS LATER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE:

“Our plan is not just a plan to survive; it’s a plan to win,” said Wagoner, noting that raised cash could aid the company in shifting from trucks and SUVs to more fuel efficient cars. “Our stated goal is to become the fuel economy leader in every sector in which we participate,” said Robert Lutz, GM’s vice chairman of global product development.

NEW VEHICLE FOR YARBZ:

CATAGORIES: GAS FUEL ENERGY, GENERAL NONSENSE, TRAVEL/ROADTRIPS — Yarbz @ 9:10 am

Yarbz got this VW GTI MK IV with 31 miles on it Thursday afternoon. The sticker stated the EPA mileage estimate at 20 city 29 highway. I promptly tested out using selective hypermiling techniques and got 32 combined city, country, and highway. After broken in I can probably do even better! Of course, that’s with very patient driving which will only be done when I am patient…

THE ANSWER TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?

CATAGORIES: ALL THINGS POLITICAL, GAS FUEL ENERGY, MONEY — Yarbz @ 9:03 am

“Right now a gallon of gas costs about $3.10 in Tijuana, while it’s about $4.60 just north of the border in the United States. That’s a $30 savings on a 20-gallon fill-up…”


So, lets just GIVE big old SUV’s to all the illegal immigrants and they’ll drive across the border to fill up and we just won’t let them back.. Oh wait, we don’t have a border that can stop them… Forget I said that…
