U-Haul goes to the dark side

At least the word “Sale” looks nice, and it’s just some local guy scrawling on a chalkboard so maybe the misspelling’s not too surprising.

U-Haul used to have on the side of their trucks the name of a state with a relevant mural. They were attractive and it was always nice seeing another U-Haul with state art that I hadn’t seen before. They’ve started to get rid of the paintings and replace them with an insipid, unremarkable $19.95 per day message. It’s bad enough they eliminated the creativity, but the spelling error is inexcusable…

Leap Year Thoughts

When I start having little eggs, I’m going to time it so they’re born on Feb 29. That way, I only have to buy birthday presents for them once every 4 years.

Being a salaried worker, I’m working an extra day this year, but being paid the same. There needs to be a little compensation for my extra time.

McDonald’s is selling hamburgers today for 29 cents, as if that makes up for them selling Egg McMuffins.
