I for one would not buy that dog a stuff toy after that.
I personally liked the pandas... 'get outta my face.'

[beachn4fun]

p.s.

Such a grueling commute today!

What? I though AZ had wide open spaces? (wink)

And the fuel costs are just paining me!

I'm with you. I pass several on the way to work and watch each morning as they jump anywhere from 3 to 10 cents a day. I think the stations are scalping us.

The media says "oh expect $5 a gallon" and the governor says, "we're going to put another 10 cents tax on gas" so the stations start raising the price of gas, so that in the end we'll pay $5/gal. SICK!

Nothing like rising costs to stimulate the economy, huh?
