The New York State Comptroller is pissed off at Sinclair, looks like. Is this thing real? What percent ownership is a quarter million shares of Sinclair, I wonder.

I should write a real entry sometime.

insulation and Mexican bugs

There's a little Mexican with a giant blower loose in my house. He's blowing insulation into the walls. This is taking place on very short notice, but that's no big deal. It just makes the whole experience more surreal. I get home from work, give him a glass of Bacardi (makes his day), and chat with him in Spanish. Yesterday I picked his brains about the classic-style Volkswagen Beetle, which was produced in Mexico until LAST YEAR. His brother owns one. They're really common down there. Taxicabs, in fact, until the spec was changed to 4-door cabs recently.

Imagine having a one-year-old classic Beetle. I want one.

V8 first, though.
