$4 Generic Prescriptions at WalMart

WalMart still has its bad reputation when it comes to wages and how they treat their employees, but at least they're making things a bit easier on the little guy.

They recently started $4 generic prescriptions on 25% of the medications they offer. Michigan isn't included, but Indiana is. I can imagine people making "a run for the border" and I'm not talking about Taco Bell!

A few days at the Red Sea (next week)

In case I forget to post this later...

Sunday night, I'll be leaving for the Red Sea with a couple of friends. I'll be there through Thursday. This will be my last chance to go to Dahab, a very relaxing place.

Over the next few days, I'll try to post links, pics, and pictures to keep you occupied while I'm gone! Also, you can _always_ take the time that you would've spent reading the Blog and send me an email! *smile*

It's navy blue

Well, 1 person was brave enough to take their 50/50 chance. Unfortunately, Mary was wrong...but at least now you all know my car is navy blue.

Thus far, you've managed to figure out that it's:

Mercedes
Navy Blue
--older than 1990s
--diesel

Here's another choice to help you:

Sedan, coupe, or wagon?

Google goes Solar

This is the kind of news I like reading! Google just announced that they're outfitting their California HQ with solar panels!

Another car post

*laugh* It looks like people are getting a bit...playful with their guesses! Good!

Well, Mike's one smart cookie! He's right by saying that my car is a Mercedes, but a bit off on its age.

So...we're still trying to guess:

Year
Model
Color (you have a 50/50 chance on this, based on a previous guess)

The end is in sight! At the conclusion of the game, I'll provide a link to a page that has information/pictures about my car.

It rained!!!

Wow! It just rained...for maybe 2 whole minutes!!!!

Hey, this is the first rain I've seen or heard in about 6 months, so I'll take what I can get! *grin*

Good thing I was still awake to experience it...but now I'm off to bed!

My talented friends

This weekend, I learned a great new song that was written by my friend Barrette. Fortunately, he has a Flash Animation of "Upside Down Kingdom" from when he was at a camp a year or so ago!

Also, here's a picture of Barrette and his wife Sandy teaching us the song this weekend:

A few new pictures

Here are a few pictures from MCC Fall Retreat this past weekend. I'll type out a story or 2 later!

Great Guesses!

*smile*

I like this game! (of having people try to guess what my car is) Apparently, some of you do, too!

I'm impressed by how good the guesses are b/c most are very, very close. Below is a list of guesses from oldest to newest, with my comments to help you with future guesses:

1. David -- Saab
I say -- warm, but I could never do it b/c "saab" sounds like the Arabic word for "difficult" *laugh*

2. Lisa -- Volkswagen, grey or navy.
I say -- Almost! My 2nd choice while vehicle-hunting was a VW of some type. However, one of your color guesses is right!!!

3. Mara -- Volvo and you wouldn't drive a Hummer.
I say -- You're warm! Plus, you're right that I wouldn't drive a Hummer. It might be in the realm of possibility if it ran on Waste Vegetable Oil, but I'd feel guilty supporting that company since their vehicles waste so much fuel.

4. Mike -- early 1990's Volvo 760T
I say -- Wow! That's the winner for most specific guess! *grin* Unfortunately, it's wrong (see my previous note about Mara's guess). I would say my car is somewhat similar in style, but you're a few years off on when it was manufactured.

5. Erik -- Saturn three-door coupe
I say -- Sorry, I haven't been converted into the Cult of Saturn just yet...

6. Sarah -- Jeep, Toledo-built
I say -- Swing and a Miss! Oh, she wasn't even close on that one, folks! *laugh* Well, that's not completely true. I guess my car is related to a Jeep, through marriage. (That's a HINT, if you missed it)
