Time for some more unoriginal thoughts as I inch my way towards the Canadian border.
+ Spots, the train-hopping teenager I drove through California, tipped me off to a really great Starbucks secret. Strawberry water is a coffeehouse concoction that simply mixes a strawberry mix-in with ice water. The drink is delicious, and costs 33 cents after tax.
I quickly became addicted to strawberry water. For a chain known for overcharging, I had to hand it to Starbucks for providing an underground drink that was affordable for a less affluent crowd.
Apparently, Starbucks is not as cool as I thought. The new corporate edict is that strawberry water is now to be considered a juice, raising the price to a much less accessible $2.77.
So much for that.
+ After taking an afternoon nap on a particularly gloomy Washington day, I discover that I left my headlights on for an inordinate amount of time, draining my battery and leaving me stranded in a fairly empty parking lot.
As if by cue, a nearby accident causes the traffic from a busy street to redirect straight through my parking lot, making it incredibly easy to get a jump. I may be stupid, but nobody can say I don't have good timing.
+ "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed."
- Joe Biden
I don't even know where to start mocking that sentence. And this is the VP candidate people aren't worried about for tonight's debate.
Saturday Night Live, in spoofing the Sarah Palin interview with Katie Couric, used many of Palin's actual quotes to satirize the candidate. They didn't have to make anything up because the reality was so absurd.
Needless to say, I'm very excited for tonight's VP debate. If only Dan Quayle could be involved somehow.
