    Yesterday I had to go to the store to pick up an ice cube tray for Lisa because she likes lots of ice cubes and when I went it they had this huge sale on paper towels. My Mom grew up in the depression and they never had enough toilet paper so she used to always keep hundreds of rolls in the house. So I was thinking with the economy a mess in Brazil and Brazil is near here I thought I should stock up on paper towels because they were on sale. I bought all the paper towels I could fit in the back of my Gremlin but I failed to bring home the ice cube tray. If I had been driving the truck I would have had more room.

    I ran down the street to the truck stop near where we live and got some extra ice cubes from them. They have an ice machine for the truckers outside. Its a real nice truck stop, even the bathrooms. I think the truckers like little extra touches like ice cube machines because if your're driving on the higway for hundreds of miles theres often no where to get an ice cube if you want one so I think its good that they have ice cube machines at the truck stop near where I live. I'm real busy today because I have to go out and buy a shovel, but I'm going to try and find the time to buy an ice cube tray.

    Gosh, I wish I'd known! I have about ten extra ice cube trays, some of which form festively-shaped ice cubes.
    Damn...I am out of paper towels now too!
    I'm on my way out to the store, since you mentioned it.

    is it still possible to order nudie ice cubes through mail order catalog? used to be fascinated by the ones in the Sunset House catalog. there they were, along with nose hair clippers, back scratchers and the amazing plant that "lives on air, needs no care"
