Just finished the March index. I don't want to make a calendar every single month, so I ended up writing a
javascript calendar maker. Of course, if you resize your browser after it has drawn the
calendar, it will disappear. Buggy. Then again, I'm not even sure how it will behave on Netscape
2.0. Those of you without Javascript enabled won't even see a calendar. Crap. I hate to exclude
the lynx users and users of older browsers, but I don't get paid for my personal page, so I really don't need to
make it cross-everything friendly. Lazy lazy lazy.

A couple of days ago, my upstairs neighbor (He of the loud arguments, footsteps, and stereo)
looked outside to see his precious truck (emitter of loud sustained booming noises) being hooked
up to a tow truck. He had double parked (crookedly (so that he blocked more than one car)) and
someone in the complex had called the tow company to give him his due. This alarmed him. He started
screaming at the top of his lungs at the tow truck guy; "My Truck!!! My Truck!! You can't tow my truck!
I spent over twenty thousand dollars on that truck!!"
Ed doesn't remember the exact quote, but during
this tantrum he apparently threatened to CALL HIS MOTHER. (...!!!) The manager of these apartments
eventually showed up (because the twit called security) and he started screaming at HER. "For starters,
if you want to get ANYWHERE with me, you'll be CIVIL" was her response to this. He immediately was
on his best sunday church manners. She went on to describe how she had gotten complaints about his noise
from LAMBERT GARDENS (an apartment complex ON THE NEXT BLOCK). Anyway I guess he got castigated but good.
His truck did not get towed and everyone went back to their usual business. Determined not to acquire any
sort of common sense, neighbortwit spent the next 3 hours in his truck in the parking lot just revving the engine.
I am consoled by the fact that the universe will kill him one day.
