Well, the sun did actually come up today, and I still have plenty of rum, so I think I'll somehow manage to survive the next 4 years. [:D]

Well, welcome to Europe, my friend!

Ha! I don't even have any jet lag. [:D]

Beware the taxes! [:D]

WTF! What the hell happen last night? No full time work for another four years.

Not to go off on a political track but it sounds like you were expecting to automagically have gainful, full-time employment the morning after Romney got elected? [X(]

[insert whistling audio sound of something falling from a great height] There goes the Dow. [:(]

I dont get it. I just dont. The value of commodities just became less because a bunch of trader dudes didnt like how the election turned out? And our pension funds are directly tied to this?

I received what must be, for you lot, an unusual email from my Homeowner's Association. A schedule for beaver trapping in the ponds around our development. Last year we had information on black bear sightings around the neighborhood.

Probably not much call for getting beaver in Londinium, I'd reckon. After all, you're British. [:'(]

Beaver, eh? [:D]

My car is being taken away tomorrow [:(] It was a good eight years. I'm going to miss her.

Wha? Is it being put out to stud? [X(]

[Onime No Kyo]

Taxes UNP.

Couldn't help but think of that line from "Naked Gun":

"Nice Beaver!"
"Thanks, I just had it stuffed."

Something like that. Someone drove into me a few weeks back and it's not an economical repair option. Mrs Dixie has plans for my next sensible car, apparently a 2.5L V6 is not a suitable family car? [&:]

US car manufacturers seem to think of that as a small, economical engine... [8|]

they expect more taxes, more regulations, more government intervention.
Makes perfect sense to react that way.

My half-brother in Germany had this thing called a Ford XMax (iirc). Damn nice family car if you ask me. Big enough that you cant reach back far enough to smack the kids upside the head and small enough to park.

Nein! Nein! And three times Nein! I shall not drive any vehicle of that nature. Anything that looks like a mini-bus is not the transport for me. Looking at something with space for wee man in the back and a smaller engine, a cheeky 1.6L should do me for now.

No, but my chances became slimmer. And with taxes going up at the end of the year. This does not help.

Ummm...no. Small cars are decidedly compromising of space, ergonomics and-often-collision safety. Important factors for anyone with kids.

Yeah, because thats exactly what the track record for the previous 4 years has shown. [8|]

So you could go from Berlin to Warsaw on one tank of gas? [:D]

Sorry, still dont get it. How did your chances become slimmer? Did Mr. Romney promise you a job in the administration if he got elected? Why would your taxes go up (assuming you didnt suddenly start making significantly more money)? [&:]
