  • Oops, my mistake… gas for 33 cents in Toledo
    "The sign at the [BP] gas station said $3.39, which doesn’t sound too bad. When folks filled up at the pump though, it rang up as 33-cents a gallon. As you can imagine, it didn’t take long for lines to form at the gas station. In fact, the scene became pretty crazy and police had to be called.

    "This wasn’t a case of generosity. It was actually a mistake. …An employee accidentally entered 33.9 cents instead of 3.39 into the pumps. The deal didn’t last long as the station quickly ran out of regular unleaded."

New Toy

I’m sitting in the recliner, typing on our new-to-us laptop with a brand-new stick of RAM installed.

(Note to self: need to trim fingernails before doing any hardcore typing on this here laptop.)

Aaron and I are preparing for our trip to Rhode Island this weekend for the Providence Anime Conference — he’s ironing and spot-cleaning his cosplay, while I’m trying not to fall asleep before I get all my stuff packed and ready to go. The laptop will be accompanying us, despite the fact that our hotel only has wired internet, and we only have wifi on the laptop. I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that the Convention Center will have wifi. If nothing else, we’ll be able to mess around and pre-write blog entries about the con.

New toys are fun.
