I drove past the gas station at 6:45am, and it was $2.01. I picked up someone and returned the way I came about 7:30am, and the price was then $2.06.

Just in time for rush hour.

I remember mentioning something about 401k being a bad idea a few years ago. Everyone at work is complaining too, except me. I told them the same thing. SS, 401k..all scams.

This makes my predictions of major issues 4-4 in the last several years. I'm changing my middle name to Nostro. :)

Use D3's textures (or custom ones if you can do better), if you can get D1 bots in there, awesome. As far as weaponry, I was thinking more along the lines of the MD, EMD and Omega.

You can wrap the cord in aluminum foil, they don't like that stuff. Or saran wrap (my cats don't like that) You can spray the cord with something non-toxic but bad tasting. You can also re-route your cords so they can't get to them.
