the wall that seperates the present from the future has felt so thin that i can almost dream upon waking.

i think i've shed tears more often in the last couple of days than i have in the near past. they have not been tears from a certain emotion but more like those tears that come when you're just overwhelmed by all of your emotions. like crying with a smile on.

"The Old Woman and the Stolen Shoes" by Ben Clark~Mitchell

Once upon a time...
In a thrift store in L.A. there was a boy named Ben. Ben was an average guy who just was out looking for a cheep tuxedo jacket to be able to go to his ritzy-pitzy dance event and not feel out of place among the mega-wealthy. At the last thrift store Ben had stopped at he had just bought himself a pair of new (new to him) shoes to replace the ones he had boughten over a year and 1/2 ago to trek all over Europe in. He liked his new shoes very much. The shoes were of a brand he didn't recognize and couldn't pronounce but they were blue (one of his more fovorite colors) and confortable and fit perfectly. Soooo..... while at thrift store #2 Ben removed his new/used shoes to try on some pants to match his jacket but when he turned around they were gone. He searched high and low for them and as a last resort employed his younger siblings to run around the store and look on everyone's feet.
We found Maxine sitting on an old over-stuffed chair in the furniture section looking completely rediculous being and 73 year old woman with feet problems and wearing my blue tennis shoes. She said she had never found any shoes that felt more comfortable or fit better...
so i let her keep em' and left the store bare feet wearing my tux.
The moral of this story... i leave up to you.

No, no Ken. Do you want horse power or economy?

In 1800, Alessandro Volta arranged zinc and copper discs in a column and invented the battery. 204 years later, Toyota has electrified automotive history with the first high-performance hybrid, named in his honor. The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features "drive-by-wire" controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta's 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive® (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0-60 acceleration in a mere four seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling.
