A Camry fill up for under $60. I don't want to think about how much it's going to cost when I fill up my tank in a couple of day. Gah.

Show us your mother.
Happy Mom's Day to all the moms out there!
Honestly, they should have just combine the QoTD & The VoxHunt because they belong together!
Anyway, here is a picture of my mom on her wedding day in the Philippines. Cavite to be exact. My mom is one of the hardest working moms out there. I'm sure everyone says that about their mothers but she really did work hard. She had 4 kids and held down a full-time job plus multiple sales jobs in the evening. My dad was usually out to sea because he was in the Navy & worked on the carriers so she had 4 little kids running around while she tried to keep it all together.
She used to pick us up after school and take us with her on her sales jobs because she could not afford a babysitter. This was when we were in pre-school and up to 4th grade. I am sure people out there may be shocked but seriously, what the hell else was she supposed to do? She just immigrated her and none of her family lived here so she was pretty much alone with 4 kids.
My mom would pull a bit of a scared-straight line with us. It worked. We're all still here. Anyway, she would scare the crap out of us so that we would behave while she went to these houses to do her sales pitch. One of her stories was that if the police saw us, we were supposed to duck out of sight or else they would take us away. Hello, how freaky is that story to a couple of elementary school kids?!? We had a Red Ford Pinto Stationwagon that she added curtains to so that we were semi-concealed. Some one was always the lookout and the second that person spotted a "cop" we would scurry into hiding position, which was basically lying down in the back with blankets and pillows over us until the lights disappeared. I don't even know if those were really cop cars, I think, we just panicked any time headlights came around the corner.
So, there you have it, a nice mom's day story for you.
Links I like:
Charles Schulz Peanuts Tribute - this is why train stations rock.
The Simpsons every couch gag - just because...
Build your own roller skates from CRAFT - i really need a mikita power drill
This week in Congress - so I know what's up with the CA delegates/representatives/what have you
Less Talking, More Plumbing from IllDoctrine - yes, send this to the Demo candidates!
The Hillary Deathwatch from Slate - it's a widget! What the? Yeah, I was going to add it but I had second thoughts. It's a bit extreme for me. I know, I'm sensitive.
Anyway, it is pretty funny and I too have been a victim of the photobomber. Watch out..there's a whole lotta boy butts. Why do boys always have to moon someone?

reminds me of the Cocktail Escapades show I did with Jason K. & Chi-Yu. Delectable.
