Fuel efficiency

So, for a while now, I've been keeping track of how many miles per tank I get. On average, since I commute up to Salt Lake, I've been getting between 300-320 miles out of each tank. When I fill up, generally about 14 gallons goes in. 23mpg in a mid sized sedan with a 2.4l engine isn't bad at all. I drive about 85mph on the freeway, which cuts a lot of time off my commute.... or so I thought. One day, right after filling up my tank for the second time in a week, I decided to try an experiement on the way home: I'd drive exactly the speed limit and use cruise control. I thought it'd take forever to get home going 65mph... but when I pulled into provo, I glanced at the clock... 8:40. When I drive 85mph... it's .. 8:38... When I drive 65mph... it's 8:40. I guess the reason is 65mph, I go that speed the whole time. When at 85mph, I have to slam on my brakes every now and then, as well as slow down majorly when I get behind a big truck. So, with that in mind, I decided to continue my experiment. I just filled up my tank today... 414 miles, and still only 14 gallons... Holy crap. I just went from 23mpg to 29.6mpg. Now I want to try all the other mileage boosters, like fill up that low tire that I always think about when I'm getting in my car in the morning... and balance all four tires. And change my oil. And check my O2 sensor... yea, I'm a believer....

* "free" does not apply to those who make over 1,000,000 a year, nor does it apply to those who are gainfully employed, nor those on welfare or those who die. nor does it apply to those who eat, those who drink, or those who own or rent or otherwise occupy property. In short, free is not actually free, it is only a gimmick to get those who want to take over your life in office, and to enslave you to their will by taking away your freedom to spend as you will.

Dream last night...

So I had a most incredibly awesome dream last night. I was in a classroom, and there was a really really cute girl I didn't know, but wanted to meet. I knew I had a girlfriend, but who she was, I just couldn't place. I started talking to this girl, and I could tell she liked me too, and it was starting to feel like love at first sight. The more I talked to her, the more I liked her, the more I started to feel like I could love her. We went off together to talk some more, and again, as I talked to her more and more, I just felt like I knew her, and nothing else in the world mattered. Then I woke up, rolled over, and she was laying right next to me.

Kinda a random dream, but dreams where you fall back in love with the one you love are kinda freaking awesome, realizing it was my wife in the dream all along and because of dream magic I didn't know just made it all the more special, 'cause I got to meet her for the first time again.
I love my Kimberly sooo much!

Thank you, come again!
