Emissions by the Numbers
50: number of minutes I waited to have my car tested
15: number of planes that landed at BNA during said time
3: number of times I've been to this God-forsaken piece of earth in the past week
5: number of times I'm fairly certain I nodded off
4: number of workers at testing center
3: number of cars that went through every other line for every 1 that went through mine
1: number of tags I saw that had expired in 2002 (2002?!?)
0: number of enormous chickens at the center this time (someone must have gotten hungry waiting in line)
1: number of times I listened to the ENTIRE Jack Johnson cd in a vain attempt to remain mellow and not hate people
4: number of friends I considered calling to help me through this but reconsidered because I thought they'd either a. be working or b. be in Italy
2: number of times I saw the world's hottest pink car
23: on a scale of 1-10, the intensity with which I had to go to the bathroom
45: speed limit on Nolensville Road
30: speed at which the woman (who apparently does not value life) was driving in front of me
12: months until I have to go through this particular hell again

I am thankful for the Maury County Court Clerk's office and the influence my grandfather and father have in this town!
For those of you confused (cough, cough, Dan, cough, cough) about the giant chicken reference, in one of my earlier blogs about the emissions center I mentioned that a giant chicken pecked its way across the parking lot...Just thought I'd clarify.
I have no response for this. I read it hours ago and I cannot add nor take away a word. I am veclempt.
Dan? Speechless? My work here is done.
i think the word of today is 'veclempt'! way to use that Mensa vocabulary, Dan!
