Yeah, so yesterday was Glenn Beck’s We Surround Them event, and seeing as I don’t have cable, I had to find a place to see it. I ended up linking up with a MeetUp group and they had arranged with Chili’s to see it there. So I drove down to Chili’s, and we went to watch it, but Chili’s tells us they don’t have Fox or Fox News. So we were going to go down and watch it at someone’s house who lived their in Kapolei. I volunteered to stay back and round up anyone who was running late, so they didn’t miss the event. Well I rounded up a couple, but we told about 5 minutes later that I needed to leave the premises as I was soliciting people away from the restaurant. Now while it is true that they would have gone into Chilis if I hadn’t rounded them up, they would have gone in there looking for our event, and probably just left, so I think this is stupid. So after I get kicked out (and the people I rounded up decided to watch it at their homes anyway) I called the event manager and got directions over to their house.
Watched the last 30 minutes of the show, and had a blast with the others who were there. Can’t think in complete sentences right now, kids crazy and I am up and down with this post.
So after the event, I headed home. And ran out of gas. Now I have never run out of gas before, and I always push vehicles to the limits of how far they can go on a tank. But this is a new vehicle to me. I bought it from a friend who was leaving the island and didn’t have anything to do with it, for $200. So there I am on the side of the road, late picking the girls up from Karen’s house, when this Texan drives up. Cowboy hat, rugged jeans, boots, plaid shirt, thick Texan accent. The picture would have been perfect if he hadn’t been driving a yuppie SUV rather than a big truck. Granted, there are manly SUVs, but this wasn’t one of them. Anyway, he said he would go get me some gas, and left again. About 15 minutes later he is back, with 5 one gallon containers of gas. He helped me put them in my car, helped me put them back away, and wouldn’t take a dime for them. “This is America, we ought to help each other.” Anyway, the nicest guy in the world, and Karen didn’t yell at me about being late, so it all worked out. =)
gotta get to the kids, life is crazy in here
