I’ve driven a dozen or so cars in my motoring career, and only a couple would really have qualified as roadworthy, strictly speaking. So I’ve become intimately familiar with the mechanical characteristics of various vehicles – mainly the ways in which they die.
Due to their tighter internal engine tolerances and small-displacement, high-revving nature, Japanese [...]

“Ghost lights,” and other instances of the meteorological/ psychospiritual phenomenon generally known in America as the Will o’ the Wisp, are in most cases spherical, glowing apparitions, varying in color from brilliant white to less common shades of green or blue and ranging in size from that of a candle flame to several feet [...]

This morning before work I picked up my mom from the car dealership and dropped her off at home. Her car should by done by noon, they said. We passed the mall and looked at all the cars already in the lot, and the news helicopter hovering above, videotaping the crazy people with all their [...]

My cats meow too much, and it drives my wife crazy. They always want to be fed, but they’re too fat as is. The vet told her there’s nothing she can really do about it except maybe feed them this special food that’s ‘bulkier’ and will trick them into thinking they’re already full. We may [...]

My coworker just revealed to me her plans for when she dies, and though they do differ from my own somewhat, I did my best to support and accept her in a nonjudgmental way.
She wants to have paid mourners wailing and shrieking and throwing their bodies on the casket, drowning out the minister trying to [...]

You are reading the words of a man who owns grease guns. They’re like bicycle pumps, with a long handle that depresses a hydraulic plunger, and a floppy nozzle about yea long extending from a metallic barrel holding a tube of, well, grease.
I guess the guy who had our house before us worked on [...]

I stepped outside to let Vince run around the yard and pee on something, thinking about, if not the exact same things as I’d been thinking about all Saturday, the same *kind* of things:
Job stuff, homeowner stuff, wondering if we had plans for the evening or not, etcetera. All afternoon I’d been picturing the workings [...]

Hi, how can I help you? Oweevox Pain Suppressant and Anti-Inflammatory? Sure, just give me a second…
Hmm, I can’t seem to find it anywhere here. Is this a recent prescription? What I mean is, most of my customers come in asking for some of the more… modern medications, like, say, your Hertzval 2500s or [...]

Some days you can’t think of the right word to save your life. Today is the opposite. Today I successfully summoned the ideal word for a given concept – twice.
I was washing my hands this morning and thinking about Eminem. He really should be represented on this compilation cd I’ve been working on, but I [...]

Because if dried Froot Loop residue were half as hard to digest as it is to get off the cereal bowl, I’d be in a world of hurt.
