Some funny (or not so funny) things …

happened recently. I say “some not so funny” because I cannot gauge whether you will find these funny or not!
This morning, I received an e-mail once again purporting money would be received if we forwarded the message on to all our friends. 🙂 Still isn’t true – how nice it would be to just sit at the computer and earn money!! 🙂
Yesterday we drove around some; it was VERY hot. Ruby has air conditioning, so it was nice! 🙂 We needed to get gas because she was down to 1/8 of a tank. [the warning light came on, you know 😉 ] Gas is pretty expensive here, but thankfully in town it hasn’t gone over $3 yet (it has on the peninsula – Gig Harbor & Bremerton, etc., and in Seattle, I think). We decided to go to Fred Meyer to get gas because I had reward points on my card that would give us $0.10 off per gallon. Gas was $2.95/gallon at Freddy’s, so that was good. Well, Jef used the debit card like we always do, and started pumping. It got to $35 exactly and shut off! We didn’t know what was wrong until we saw the sign. For some reason (to prevent stealing?!) they only let you get $35 of gas on your debit card! If you pay at the window, or use a credit card, you can go as high as $75. So we were kind of bummed because we’d only put in 12 gallons of gas, and we thought the minivan would need like twenty. I think it is a 17-gallon tank, but am not sure. ANYWAYS. We were bummed too, because the rewards were one-time things, or so we thought. Jef tried the reward card & debit card again, and –
Praise the Lord!!
The gas was still ten cents off!!!! 🙂 That was our gas adventure.
The last funny thing is this – we decided since it is so hot and we have a reliable car now, that we should go to the coast. Well, we decided to go on Wednesday, since Jef has a meeting today. This morning we woke up to overcast skies and a much cooler day (it has been HOT – like 96 with 50% humidity!!!). Of course the weather would change since we decided these things!!!
