just 4 bugs? Your windshield has a very low efficiency, perhaps 0.01%. tsk tsk. That just won't do.
Glad you had a fun trip Abs! =)

13: Number of pictures I took of my (clothed) ass by accident that day during WJI.
0: Covert-op photos of bad clothing / hair that you showed us.
More than 0: Number of covert-op photos you SHOULD show us.

Speaking of asses, Shepherd, I finally got some pictures of Matt (not Matt's) to challenge those pictures you emailed me a while back. Post pending? Very yes.
The reason why I didn't post more pictures is because:
a. They're mostly of business cat. I'm not going to lie.
b. I feel really badly posting the covert-op pictures because those people could be reading my blog.
c. The groom reads my blog.
d. The bride asked me to blog about the wedding. I said, "very no."
e. The photo-editing required is a little too much for my poor, road-weathered body to handle.

i can't decide if you only spending $3.25 on coffee impresses me, or makes me think i dont even know you anymore.

Bitch, please.
You should be impressed with our ability to stay fueled with coffee (best coffee: the hand-roasted stuff we had) without having to pay for it.

Great post, but such a serious picture. I'd peg you two as FBI, for sure!
