Just because Jesus didn't have anything to say on a certain topic doesn't make it okay, and it definitely doesn't mean that He endorses it.

 

Jesus loved all people, that's true. He also rebuked sinners and told them to sin no more, showing that it is possible to love the sinner but hate the sin. Unfortunately, many people today seem to have forgotten this part, as they immediately marginalize anybody who tries to make that point, marking them as intolerant bigots.

 

If you have the ability to do something, that doesn't mean you absolutely should and must do it. And it doesn't mean that you can put other people down who disagree with it.

 

There's no calm discussion about anything any more. People immediately take it to intensity level 100% and demonize their opponents that disagree. How is that right? Oh, it's because Jesus didn't have anything to say about it. My bad...

 

 

 

 

Tank 382 - The Electric Boogaloo

So this last tank I got 37.44 mpg, but mostly I wanted to send along the attached picture.

Re: A buddy of mine picked his nose and had no where to put it, so he put it back in his nose

Dude,

 

Things are getting worse. In the last couple of weeks, several websites I go to have informed me that I need to change my password. And I can no longer use the same general family of passwords that I have used in the past. Typically, my passwords have been a version of a certain set of numbers/words, with "1234" added to the end in the event that it needs to meet some length requirement. But now different websites are implementing new and different password requirements.

 

"It can't look like your username or real name" (so the letters McK are out of the game)

"It must use a special character but no more than one special character"

"It must use two or more special characters plus a number that is not in your phone number or date of birth"

"It must be 15 or more characters long!"

 

Oh, man this is just getting to be too much for me to handle. I can't remember all this stuff any more!

 

And the stupid website I go to to check my pay stub, that password is only good for like 60 days and then I need to change it again! And it can't be similar to any of my last FIFTEEN passwords! Just to look at my little pay stub on the internet!

 

And in order to change it, I have to answer like SIX security questions. Luckily, I made the answer to all the security questions "givl this djoy!" so I con't have to remember the name of the first street I lived on (what" the first street I lived on? Do they mean Stafford Road? Because I don't remember the name of the actual first street I lived on! HOW WILL I ANSWER THIS QUESTION IF I MYSELF DON'T EVEN KNOW THE ANSWER?)

 

It's not even like I have a life that's so excitong or lucritive that somebody else would even want to steal my identity!

 

Can you imagine the lurking thief, browsing identities, trying to pick the perfect one to steal. "Oh, look at this guy, what a catch! Government job, sensible car, rarely-viewed blog, bifocals. Now THERE'S someone who is living the type of life I want to steal!"

I don't know if it's worth it any more...

Tanks 380 and 381- A Really Neat Coincidence

So I refilled the Mighty Corolla twice since I last updated here, and my mileage continues to suck, only being around 35 mpg, but that's okay because there's only so much I can do about it and 35 mpg is still higher than the estimated highway mileage and I spend probably half my driving now around town, so I got that going for me.

The cool thing that I notices is that this last tank stopped when I had pumped in 11.336 gallons of gas. Three tanks ago, less than 20 days ago, this exact same thing happened, where the pump stopped also at 11.336 gallons.

So two tanks of gas each stopping at exactly 11.336 gallons of gas. That's got to be pretty rare. I mean, there has only been one time in 381 tanks of gas where it stopped at a round dollar amount, and that's just out to the nearest penny. This is going out to the thousandth of a gallon. And I got two matching tanks of gas out to the thousandth of a gallon in less than a month.

So that's kind of neat...

Tank 379 - 27 February 2014 - I'm a Lazy Blogger

I refilled the gas tank of the Mighty Corolla last week but forgot about it until now. The notable part, I guess, was that I drove 433.6 miles on 11.948 gallons. That is the farthest I'd gone and most gas I put in a tank in well over a year.

That is all.
