I finally got a reasonable sounding explanation about why Middle Tennessee is THE ONLY PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY GAS.
Thank you, NPR. Larry did find gas this morning at the Exxon in East Nashville (just off 65) but the pumps are rigged to go very slooooooooooooowly, and then they never turn off, so you will overflow your tank. Be prepared.
If you're from the Nashville area, you'll find this video amusing. If you're not, never fear. I have treats for you too, my little pets!
I bring you my Men of the Vatican Pinup Calendar, straight from Rome. My aunt Elizabeth got it for me for my birthday, along with a beautiful water pitcher that actually whistles when you pour water out of it. It doesn't mean to whistle, but something about the way it's constructed makes it so. I got up at 3 in the morning to get a glass of water, and the pitcher actually gave me a cat call. I was all, thanks! (I've still got it.)
Without further ado, here are the Men of the Vatican:
Mr. Gennaio
Mr. Febraio
Mr. Marzo
Mr. Aprile
Mr. Maggio
Cheer up, Mr. Giugno! We do too take you seriously!
Mr. Luglio
Mr. Agosto
Mr. Settembre (My personal favorite, because he's "a reader.")
Mr. Ottobre
Mr. Novembre disappeared from my desktop, sorry.
But here's Mr. Decembre (who is making me wonder if this is actually a Bellhop calendar and not a Men of the Vatican calendar.)
Regardless, I think you'll agree there's a little something for everyone here, no?
