I've been blessed with Memes

General housekeeping. Some time ago Dimbulb tagged me with a blessing. I want to pass it on with a Tiny Tim-esque "And God bless us- everyone!" but somehow that would be outside the rules.

And Kasia tagged me with the Meme with no name. Here goes, quickly:

1. Do you wear a name tag at work?
No.

2. What kind of car do you drive?
Budget rental. It works out nicely. Once every now and then I go and rent a brand new car, and someone else is stuck with oil and maintenance. It's really fun when I go to family reunions and such. The cousins gather around the car and say "Holy smokes, Bear! Is that a new car?" to which I answer: "Why, yes, as a matter of fact I picked it up today." "No, really? How much did you pay?" "Well, the sticker price is xxxx, but I go it for a bit less."

3-6 are the same as Puff
