- Good point there, Alex. My peevesome edge has been dulled lately. I know
- as well as anyone that this isn't alt dot happy dot fucking dot day! I just
- can't help but think that my recent good fortunes seem to follow along with
- that ancient Hebrew maxim that the sum of good and bad in one's life is zero.
- I don't recall it any more precisely than that right now.

- Here's some peeves - the weather here has REALLY sucked the last few days,
- what with freezing rain and ice. The fan/drive belt on the Billmobile
- snapped the other morning (fortunately, I pre-planned and had a spare and
- some essential tools in the car) - well, it didn't snap but it is now
- quite useless; let's say it jumped the track and got a bit chewed up by
- the time everything slowed down... Cave crickets have decided to take up
- residence in the house where I live. And now I have a nasty rhino virus
- up my right nostril that has mucous and phlegm running out that nostril
- like a fucking waterfall.
-
- A person was killed the other night while using my favorite nearby ATM
- (but I have an airtight alibi), and a woman disappeared while using my
- next-favorite one. Bad night, Saturday, for that sort of thing...
-
- And lest I forget, the quiet little neighborhood where I live has been
- transformed into a hellish place with a recent spate of group barking
- frenzies from the neighborhood dog population. I can and does happen
- at all hours, though the after-11pm episodes are quickly quelled,
- presumably by sleepy, fearful owners. I probably would never know this
- except that I have been trapped in Casa del Bill because of the sucky
- weather and general circumstances.
-
- So, even though life has been a bed of cherries it has not been a bowl
- of roses.
-
- ObDecaturNewsForAJingHippy - East Decatur High School's band is going to
- England to play for Liz Regina on New Year's
- Day.
-
- And although I didn't mention it here before, the Psycho Bitch From Hell
- came by a few weeks ago to beg $500 out of me so she could pay the
- deductible on her wrecked car and get it back. I courteously and succinctly
- refused and that's the last I've heard, seen, or smelled (nice smell,
- actually) of her. And she isn't really a psycho except for the fact that
- she is weak and undisciplined. That's why she doesn't scare me in the
- least. But enough of that.
-
- Hope this has quenched everyone's thirst for Billpeeves. If not, I'm sure
- I can come up with more.

- Statutorily,

- P.S. See you Beigh Aryans in a few weeks...
