Midspot

And to all a good night.

I will be traveling the next day or two so posting may be light.

In the mean time go check out the new website for my DJ service.

I officially took this comic off of my cube wall after reading this.

I’m not sure what to say about this, other than wow!

Last week I sold a couple of items on eBay that I acquired on Black Friday. Nothing major, just a couple of GPS units that I bought for a good price and hoped to make a few bucks on.

Well I did make a slight profit, but would I do it again?

Probably not for the slim margins I made.

First of all, the amount of spam questions on a listing has gone up a lot. The last time I sold something on eBay (probably about a year ago), I did not receive any spam. This time I received 14 spam messages (“questions”) on two listings.

The second problem I brought on myself, but was a pain none the less. If you list an item on eBay, do not allow foreign buyers unless you want to spend all day filling out paperwork at the mail carrier. (Although we did find that USPS is a lot easier to ship to foreign countries (Canada) than UPS or FedEx.) I thought that Canada was considered a country with a “friendly” relationship with the US, but apparently not for shipping…

Anyway, now that the whole process is over and the packages are shipped I can offset some of my Christmas costs with the income…

A woman in a Chevrolet Avalanche drove into DiDonna’s Italian
Restaurant this morning just seconds after the restaurant’s owner had
walked away from that spot — the building’s northwest corner where the
restaurant’s favorite booth is located.The driver was
unconscious when medical help arrived and was taken to a local
hospital, said Bismarck Police Sgt. Dean Dassinger today.The
vehicle, which ended up half-in half-out out of the building, caused
about $80,000 to $100,000 damage, said the building’s owner Lee Mitzel.

Some days we actually do have interesting news!

I guess this little guy doesn’t like Windows…

I’d love to give credit to the original owner but I can’t seem to find them…

I wish I could say this is our dog, but it isn’t. He does look just like this one though (except for having all 4 legs…)

At lunch today there was lots of commotion as the fire department and lots of cops showed up for a house fire on Northview Lane (or as it’s known in Bismarck: Christmas Tree Avenue).

Too bad it wasn’t one of the idiots with all the lights, but rather one of the less decorated houses. In fact it wasn’t related to lights or decorations at all but instead a wood burning stove. I’m sure it will be on the news tonight as there really is never anything else to report and the news crews almost beat the firetrucks to the scene…

Anyway, not to sound like a scrooge, but the lights on that street are over and above what anyone should be doing “for the season”. I don’t actually mind that they want to decorate, but it’s all the nosy frigtards that need to drive up and down the street nightly and then turn around in my driveway all night long.

It is actually a problem most nights to leave the house with all the extra traffic.

I bet all those idiots won’t be getting in line to offset the specials charged when road repair is needed prematurely due to all the unnecessary traffic.

Nope, I bet they sit at home on those days…
