And the answer is?

Say you had a day where all day long this nagging headache was creeping up on you, and the longer the day went on the more it looked like it was going to be one of those eye-blinding, mind-numbing, I wish I was dead migraines, and all you were looking forward to was for the clock to hit 5:00 so you could go home, down a half a bottle of whatever analgesics you could locate, take a hot shower and allow the streaming water to numb that pain and then hopefully it would subside enough for you to function somewhat. What would be the worst thing you might think could occur?

Well, finding your car with a completely dead battery on a 100 degree day might not be the completely worst thing that could hapen, but it damn sure is likely to be close to the top of that list. Just sitting here, throbbing head in hands, awaiting the return of my mechanic from his foray to the neighboring burg on a parts run. I think that 10-year-old battery finally bit the dust, or at least I hope that is what it is. Anything more major will definitely not help* this pounding in my skull.

[Update: I am home and hoping the analgesics take effect soon. Thunderstorm is brewing so hopefully things will cool off also a few degrees.]

*I had a much better word to use here, but I had no idea how to spell it.

OK, now that I have my handy Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary in hand, I would have said: Anything more major will definitely exacerbate this pounding in my skull.

Hmmm, first off all, sometimes I actually like to check out the definition to make sure it is the exact right meaning I intend it to have, and secondly, sometimes I am not near enough to the spelling for spellcheckers to be of any real assistance.

And as for that post: What would make you think I would give a rat's ass about what Rush Limbaugh had to say about bloggers. The man is a buffoon who bores me. ;)
