It's just Wednesday and I already I look pretty different--much darker. I need to remember sunscreen, my sunhat, and longer sleeves. I am aging my skin rapidly! But it just never hurts, so I never remember. I'm going to try to now--last year I really didn't even make an effort. I am convinced that eight hours of sun isn't really good for you, despite what some say. No sun is bad, but the main proponents of "you can never get too much sun" look really sun-weathered.

A new guy started with us, and he dislikes cars as much as me. It's actually too bad, because it means he doesn't enjoy driving, meaning I have to keep taking my turn. I think I scare him with my driving, though. He had a car in high school and so drives like a normal person. The bulk of my driving experience is right now, and so I drive like a scared senile cat (or some other animal that was not meant to be in a car). Anyway, it's nice to have new people to talk to, and people with some intelligence about issues. Most people I meet, in general, have some sort of intelligence. People don't seem shocked by my views much (though of course I do always water them down--but even watered down, they are a little alternative, since I am a bad faker). Where are all the people who voted for McCain? Maybe in the south, I've never been there...
