buick invicta, chevy nova

 it was a banner day for seeing cool cars. when i took a walk at the end of my lunch i saw one at the shop near the bank, it was a buick invicta. so i got a picture of it. this was a convertible, wikipedia said it was made just 5 model years. on the way home i saw another car on an auto transport for a while, only confirmed what it was when passing it, this was a boxy chevy nova sedan. i recall going to see a des moines buccaneers hockey game while in high school with some classmates in a 1979 nova. another notable thing i saw during the lunchtime walk was a flyer taped to a pole for a chewbacca roaring contest. it had already happened a week earlier, but it was still funny to me so i got a picture of it too. things got better at work as the part needed for the envelope stuffer arrived, i picked it up when i put out three toner cartridges for recycle. i swapped out the part and it is sealing well again. i called the tech to report the results. it was a good day to clear my plate at the end of the week, not just the cartridges but also returned checks were forwarded by inter-office mail. when i was putting out tax checks at the lockbox i saw a trash truck lifting the dumpster, that was cool. i don't get to see that too often, so it was worth it to stay out there an extra minute or two. in the evening i went to get groceries at the hy-vee in eagan, moved up a little as i knew the world series, game one, would be on. the reception on AM radio wasn't good, i knew the rangers took an early lead and then the d-backs went ahead 3-2 in the 3rd just as i was getting home. then i watched the rest on TV, on Fox. i managed to last through the rest of the game but i was tired, didn't want to miss anything. the long ball helped the rangers late in the game, a 2-run shot in the 9th to tie and a solo shot in the 11th, to win 6-5. later on i went on a walk and found 88 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when lewis black guest starred to settle a comic book bet about what kind of cricket. it was followed by the one where the friends go to a wine tasting and raj brings claire but it dind't end well.
