This is a promotion he's doing with Blackberry, but it sounded interesting. Alas, I do not have a Twitter account. I watch a few people but damned if I don't feel like I'm listening to one side of a phone conversation and I can't restrict myself to 140 characters.

So I had to borrow a vehicle the other night to go pick up our poor Sedona, which runsamuck left sitting on the off-ramp at Harbor Blvd.in Costa Mesa.
