Fuel and stuff
Had to buy gasoline today.
The last time I bought fuel, on July 28, it was $2.43 for regular.
Today it was $2.50. Yeesh.
Birthday festivities are now over. We did the cake and present thing a couple of hours ago. The cake ended up with a silly inscription, which indicates how the cake turned out. The lad pointed out that imperfections are what make home made cakes so special. He laughed at what I wrote—it will remain our secret. 
The present turned out differently than I’d written about a week or so ago—the weights and stuff. The Dad and I talked a couple of days ago and decided to split the cost on a nice digital camera. My envy factor went up several notches today. I think it was a complete hit and pretty unexpected. Lots of smiles around here.
Tell the lad you have visiting privleges.

Pablo—yep.
Sue—Maybe I’ll get a chance to visit his camera once in a while, but probably not for a long time. It’s going to be gone for the next week. And then I have a feeling it will live in his backpack most of the time.
He totally astonished me—sat down and read the manual from cover to cover, poked buttons and filled up his 128mb card with test shots and a small video. Now he knows how it works and I’m still at the stage where I had to ask how to turn it on. It’s a small computer. Actually, I’m pretty happy with my digital. I can pretty much point and shoot. But I would like to test his camera out at some point.
I am glad we don’t write stuff to describe how our cakes turn out sometimes.

Are you really going to put a tease like that in your post and then not tell us what the cake said? This is cruel.
Digital cameras have been a big hit at birthdays in our household.
