View Article  Merit Lost Her Car
I received an email from my baby sister Merit this morning.  Baby in terms of family birth order and not age.  She had just endured having her car stolen from the back of her house.  Oh dear!  Though the thief(s) only needed to look as far as the glove compartment to find her almost well hidden keys.  It was a clean steal.

Apparently the Cheyenne, Wyoming Police were able to find the car minus (1) her ashtray, (2) her polishing rag and (3) her keys with the garage door opener.  I thought the fact the ashtray was listed as number one was interesting.  She now will go through the motions of re-keying her house, etc.  Then she will move into the emotional feelings of violation and shock.  I wish her well.  I am also at a lose of why she had a polishing rag.  She doesn't drive a limo.  I am baffle by this case.

Merit is no stranger to crime.  For many years Merit worked at the Wyoming Boys School as a counsellor/case worker/big sister.  In her job at the school Merit learned a wide variety of "tools" that were taught to her by the inmates.  Then Merit turned bad and starting using these tools of the criminal trade; like the time she would steal my car - oh wait, that was when she was in high school.  Merit bounced from shady motels to shady motels, always keeping a step or two ahead of the law that were trying their earnest to capture her.  Then out of the blue she went back to State Government and remains employed there to this date.  I have always wondered about that girl.


View Article  It's a Pain in the Gas
Yesterday, I paid $3.94 a gallon for premium fuel at the Country Corners Gas Mart on Orcas.  I put close to 4.5 gallons of fuel and filled-up my motorcycle at a total cost of $16.50.  For a motorcycle.  I can't believe it.  Now, I do realize that I could have used just plain regular un-leaded, at $3.74 a gallong, saving me some 84 cents, but the bike seems to run and perform better on the higher octane fuel. 

I remember the first time I spent over $10.00 to fill up my motorcycle tank, and it wasn't very long ago.  I thought that a fuel line had come un-done and fuel was spilling over the ground, but no it was just the price.  Freaked me out though.
