Total Recall

"Toyota Motor Corp issued a recall of more than 380,000 Highlander vehicles in the U.S. A spokeswoman said the recall centers on a faulty part below the center console that could slip under the gas and brake pedals."

Yup, that's pretty much what we told them was happening to us, when we took ours in a couple months after buying it.

Let's call it a draw

A conversation I had today with a cow-orker:

Her: "I don't really like dark chocolate. I'll eat it if it's the only thing there, but that's it."
Me: "Don't feel bad. Not everyone can have a sophisticated palate."

(Oooh. Advantage: me.)

Her: "Milk chocolate is for people who like the taste of sweets."
Me: "Dark chocolate is for people who like the taste of chocolate."

(A push, but advantage still mine.)

Her: "Dark chocolate is for bitter people."
Me: "... Guilty as charged."
