I stopped for fuel a few days ago on my way into work. I was just finishing up pumping the gas when a woman pulled around around my car to park at a somewhat strange angle near another pump. She got and approached me with a booklet in her hand. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
“Would you be interested in reading…?” she started to ask and I saw it was a copy of watchtower and I began my polite but firm:<\/div>\n
“No thank you…” and she had already turned and was headed back to her van.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I guess we both already had our lines memorized. She was gone moments later. I don’t think she even talked to anyone else there – and I’m not even sure she got fuel. Maybe she had a quota?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In other news, I added a minor update to my website about my swimming – with a few photos of me at the ocean. No links on the main page yet, but you can get there here: <\/div>\n

Finally, I’m taking my car into the shop this afternoon. The muffler sounds bad and although I don’t think anything is going to fall off yet – there was a pile of rust under my car so I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This week has been busy, but productive. I’ve got a few projects to work on today before the weekend kicks in. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
later…<\/div>\n

(I just did a spell check on the page – and for what may be the first time, no spelling or typing errors. Hoorey<\/span>!)<\/div>\n
