The next day I tried filling up with premium fuel, hoping it was just some high emissions caused by poor fuel. However the light stayed on all week. Today I took her into a local mechanic, referred to me by my lady mechanic. He hooked her up to the diagnostic, and it was as I had suspected. The emissions from the catalytic converter have exceeded desired levels. The mechanic asked what brand of gas I use. I told him Citgo. The Contique was the second car this little shop had seen today with the same problem today, high emissions from Citgo fuel. I do not choose Citgo because it is cheaper; I do because it is the station that is least out of my way. From now on only the best for my baby, so I will have to find some place more worthy. |W|P|108061479456497630|W|P|Bad Gas!|W|P|jacob.tomaw@gmail.com3/26/2004 01:19:00 PM|W|P|Jacob|W|P|I am drawn to this story. This is the first time that Bald Eagles have been seen in Chicago, Richard J. Daley, Mayor, in over a century. The National Bird has been coming back like crazy in recent years. Who knows we might even have to hunt them again one day! With their decline and resurgence, that the Bald Eagle has become even more representative of America. |W|P|108032878687634182|W|P|Bald Eagles in Chicago|W|P|jacob.tomaw@gmail.com3/17/2004 10:07:00 AM|W|P|Jacob|W|P|Sometimes real life can be better than the Onion.

One of the proposals sponsors says that kids today are smarter because of the Internet, cell phones, and television. I was under the impression these things were bad for the kids. An official against the idea said that children are no mature enough to vote and can easily be deceived. If these are the reasons that children should not vote I think that we should take away the vote of a lot of people, starting with the Floridians who cannot figure out how to vote.|W|P|107888207540502769|W|P|The right to kind of vote.|W|P|jacob.tomaw@gmail.com3/09/2004 08:36:00 AM|W|P|Jacob|W|P|Vermillion County is going to be $2 million in the hole because of a data entry mistake in the County Auditor's office. That is about 10% of the counties total budget! This follow-up article has a major understatement of its own. Albert Clark is referred to simple as someone who "owns property in Vermillion County."|W|P|107884296404285498|W|P|Understatement in VCo|W|P|jacob.tomaw@gmail.com3/03/2004 09:28:00 PM|W|P|Jacob|W|P|This is exactly why Dana and I have long planned to FedEx mom to Hawaii.

The same thing I did for the next 15 years, try to find a way to take back the absolute domination of my home I had enjoyed for the first 3 years of my life. Sadly it never happened!
