Hello, Toledo! (Saying that’s just one small step below my ultimate fantasy, yelling “Hello Detroit! Are you ready to rock?” to a crowd of millions.) To the Toledoans who are reading this page for the first time — and I’m betting there are a few of you — welcome to my humble abode. Just so you know, you should feel free to leave comments on my stupidity by clicking on the link at the bottom of each entry. Suggested topics of discussion: that llama incident in 1998; my tendency to shake uncontrollably at the mention of Kid Rock; the Toledo five-day forecast. (Actually, everyone should feel free to leave comments: they’re the gasohol on which this fuel-injected blog runs.)

gasohol?

yep, gasohol. it comes up every four years during the iowa caucus, when presidential candidates fight to see who can be the most pro-ethanol (an ingrediant in gasohol) and offer the most ethanol subsidies to get the iowa farmer vote.

Most of this is going over my head but I am quite sure that there is an insult in it somewhere. : ) The fog on Sat. nite was just an indication of a greater problem in Toledo. Hope it didn't affect you too much. Now for my french... Feet Put Tan
