I did one of those "turn too short" deals with my car last year. I did the repair on the guy's pickup with a cloth and some cleaner/polish I had in the truck.

I noticed they finally put a "Coming Soon" sign on a major construction project - which I though from the design was to be a strip mall. Instead the sign proclaims "GRAND BUFFET" and opening soon.
