Warning: Blogging Can Be Dangerous!

A funny thing happened while writing this blog...

I don't like to wait around.  If I can do two (or three!) things at once, that's even better.

I threw vegetables in the wok to cook.  They were frozen and taking a while, so I left the kitchen to ramble on this blog.  Suddenly, a strong odor reached me in the living room.  You guessed it... burnt food... ugh!

Surprisingly, they didn't taste too bad.  The vegetables had a smokey, campfire flavor.

But take this warning... count the costs, secure the kids, turn the stove off before blogging!

I Hate Tollways!

OK, the ramble for today is a rant.  We are good, law-abiding citizens.  We don't run red lights or zoom through toll booths.

But today, I get a toll violation notice.  They said we didn't pay 3 tolls (and one was from 5 months ago!).  The missed tolls were only $2.80 but the fine for allegedly missing those tolls was $60.

Now we have one of those handy transponder things, and used it as directed.  But evidently it didn't register!  So I spent quite a bit of time on the phone trying to straighten this thing out.  Thankfully, the people I talked to were very nice.  I just have to submit a sheaf worth of documents, and hopefully this will be taken care of.

All this technology is great, if it works right!
