Rather Buy Me A New Carburetor

Yesterday, I drove to work so I could later drive to the orthodontist, where after two and a half years my good humor is wearing thin but the quality of my antics is improving.

Tata: I had a tough time getting here today!
Office Lady: You did? Why?
Tata: Traffic is terrible! And you know those bushes outside that used to need trimming? I didn't exactly fall in them but we've each redefined our personal space needs.

I really missed my walk to work, which is wonderful despite the autumnal temperatures. It is surprising I haven't thrown a tantrum and caught it, since I hate any and all weather occurring below 75 degrees Fahrenheit unless it delivers a snow day. I love snow days. You can shovel, you winter weather lover! I'll wait right here, indoors. I might bake something, if the mood takes me, but it ain't taking me outside except kicking and screaming. So. That I love walking to work is a surprise.

Here, try on this amendment. It's so peculiar I might've knitted it myself.

Amendment XXIII
Section 1. The District constituting the seat of government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:

A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a state, but in no event more than the least populous state; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the states, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a state; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

We at Poor Impulse Control interrupt this Constitutional convocation to open the time capsule sent here to the Fuuuuuuuutuuuuuuuure (oooh, echo!) by prophets EBN and Josh Pearson in the mid-1990s.


Oooh! Bell bottoms and pet rocks!

Amendment XXIV
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

It's never too late to get the zeitgeist - not if you can imagine what might happen a scant ten years from right now.
