Zod returns to the Phantom Zone

( Gen Zod and Grrr... )

So here was today’s plan:

Wake up early.
Gut and install new wiper blades.
Renew car’s registration.
Renew brake tag.
Drive to Planet Houston, pick up servers, close office.
Drive back to NOLA.

Sounds easy, right? Well, here’s how it went:

Woke up early.
Installed new wiper blades.

Towing it tomorrow.
Other than that, Happy Pi Day!

This.is.not.regular.intra-city.miles.
I haven’t owned a car in years.

or, Why I Love the Texas Department of Transportation.
I bought my car ( Gen. Zod™ ) 1 month ago, today ( 09.06.05 ).
The seller, also named Will, had to get a copy of his title that same day.
For some reason, we marked the date of sale on the printed receipt and the title as 08.06.05. […]
