our phone service transcribes our voice mail to text and usually does a remarkable job, even when the voice mail messages are in spanish. – however, this latest transcription (of a message in spanish) isn’t one the company will be putting in the marketing literature…

Scott if you find out. He said when I thought you I’ve no money. I’ll be on the left one of you might be other car broke. Just getting what you need that. I don’t know what you thought about it if you find out. He said quit it or Trinity CMA. This base and see if you made it or not you and it was pizza and they sounded like they did not have it in the custody and if when if you get a car. You can give me know. I don’t mean you.

if we pass a knight in shining armor on the way to the bus stop tomorrow, i wouldn’t think it odd…
the sign, day four:
