***I suspected*** that we would spend the day sitting in front of this soul sucking machine. I was only partially right. It was only the evening hours that it stole.

We had shopping to do so I sought out the nearest Walmart where I could get a discount on the gasoline.

My Chevy HHR is flex fuel capable, so I chose to fill with E83 . I’ve heard that you don’t get as good mileage. But with savings about forty cents a gallon, I thought I’d try it .

I needed to shave my checks to shape my beard. However, my razor was not to be found in my carryall bag. At the same time, Ella was desiring a new headband. There was a Dollar Tree very near the gas station. We went in and found a razor but no headband.
