what's wrong with this picture?

if you said "the license plate is missing," congratulations, you've identified the impetus for our 8AM call from the san leandro police department!

apparently, someone stole the plate last night, slapped it on an old, white VW beetle and discarded the vehicle in san leandro. the beetle had a smashed window so i think it's safe to assume that vehicle was stolen as well. steph's handling communication with the cops, i'll update this space as the situation develops...

UPDATE: if your plates get stolen, you get new ones for $17.00! i don't like the new serial as much as the original but victims can't be choosers.

continuing the car theme

it's a little confusing to walk out to your car in the morning and find this, instead:



yeah, it was stolen. the police found it later today in pittsburg though. one more urban-life notch in the urban-life belt...

on the plane to chicago this morning i sat next to a sweet old lady who had crystal lenses on her eyes, like, replacing the organic ones. i didn't even know you could do that! i'm totally getting them when i'm old, along with loads of other bionic stuff. it was an expensive procedure but it cured her cataracts and she said she saw new ranges of color along with fixing her nearsightedness. awesome. more awesome than lasered eyes.

i need sleep now.
