It is now approximately 1:40 in the morning. My car broke down and I am at my best friend Rachel's house. I apparently lost a pulley, and the fan belt came loose. Then the battery light came on, my heat stopped working, the engine temperature started to rise, and my power steering went out. The Lord was good to me, though. I was right by an exit when it started, so I exited the highway and pulled into a gas station. While waiting for the tow truck, I indulged in a nice cold grape pop. (On a side note, I have rediscovered my love for grape pop lately. Walmart. 2 liters. 58 cents.)

I hate having car trouble, and it has been giving me problems lately. I think it's just getting old. I put a lot of wear on a car, as I drive about 1,300-1,500 miles per month. It's time for me to look into getting a new one.

On the brighter side, I called into work and told them I might not be in tomorrow, so at least I get to sleep in a bit. And since I'm at Rachel's house, I get to snuggle with Ashen, an adorable little cat. Everything's better when you have a cat.

Speaking of grape pop....Grizzy and I were on our way to play practice one night during his college days at BSU, had tossed my bag and his beloved briefcase which he named Bruce (any Python fans will understand this) into the back on the floor. At the grocery earlier that day we'd found this grape soda--can't remember the brand name--don't think it stayed on the market long--can't imagine why--that was advertised as the BILLION BUBBLE BEVERAGE!

Well. Grizzy LOVES overblown hyperbole and I must say that many of the things we routinely crack each other up with are wild exaggerations and other stupidities.

But I digress.

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNyway...We bought a bottle of this grape soda and took it with us to try at break time, thinking it might be more fun than kicking the Coke machine (sorry, we're Pepsi fans). We're driving and talking about nothing in particular and we crossed the railroad tracks and suddenly heard this POP! followed by a FWOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHing sound and an unmistakeable smell of fake grape and chemicals.

Yes. The billion bubble beverage had blown its top, and a perfect geyser of soda was spewing madly all around the car, hitting the ceiling and splattering wildly.

Bruce was never the same. And I don't think either one of us has had grape soda since then.

Who would have thought that grape soda could be a weapon of mass destruction?

OMG, Grizzy, don't tell our idiot-in-chief.....who knows WHAT he'd do with information like that!

Sorry about your car...............I'm suprised we weren't treated to phone-photos of the roadkill, er,damage suffered.....for that matter, why not the cop who pulled you over, (we know he was just checking you out :). Why, for all we faithful blog readers know, you could be making this all up to get out of working today.......hmmmmmmmm
