My daily annoyance is a few days old as I have been out of range in my travels. It's buying parts when you break down and finding they are JUNK. Had the cam position sensor on our 7.3 Ford diesel die from heat exhaustion leaving us stranded in the road in Colorado 22 miles from the nearest town, seting 3 hours cooling it off to get it started. Then when the mechanic put on a NEW one at night saying that they are no good, it didn't make it 1 block before it died. His BROKEN one off his tow truck made it 100 miles the next day. The original made it 15 years and 120,000 miles it's geting a new one from Ford today as it's lots more fun to change it on a cold engine than a hot one on the side of the road. See the daily smiles for more travel fun.

daily complaint i was at a office yesterday and there where numerous magazines on the table in the waiting area, im looking over them and found a vw polo broshure. i drooling over actually took it home. then i get on the website and found they come with a 1.2 or 3 liter 3 cylinder diesel. that gets a est 70 mpg us. and we cant get it in the u.s. Some one has said it will be in the next model in the U.S. but i would bet that it wont have the 3 cyl diesel in it.

Daily annoyances: construction equipment noise 3 seasons a year, every year, 14+ years now. And semi traffic down a residential street. Local yocals wanting to expand the airport for heavy drone and jumbo traffic, why? Because a few of them see dollar signs. Yes I love "growth".

No, the reports I've seen are that there is quite a bit of gunfire.

I forgot to mention that there must be a law that, if you are one who is seldom home, you must have a dog- the more retarded it is the better- that barks incessantly.

Also I have noted how earnest the train engineers are about safety; they blow the air horns about 6 times to warn all that heavy traffic away from that little used intersection at 4 a.m.

I have an Asus 1201N netbook - the HD netbook

Except it freezes a lot.

A real lot.

Windows or Linux.

And its too old to RMA.

I'm off to give it a good wash in the bath, before I soak it in petrol and set fire to the bl@@dy thing...
