Another sort of dull day; not a whole lot going on. I saw the Mead 1999 Annual Report show today- the rep came around with all the entrants lined up around the table, and brought pizza. Some fantastic work. Beautiful annual reports that must have cost a fortune to make.

Well, here goes: I’m writing out a check to T.Rowe Price for my IRA this year, after losing half my paper value since January. Makes me want to puke, really. As much as I hate thinking about throwing good money after bad, it’s not like I’ve lost any money, just my valuation on paper. Still, it’s depressing to see the valuation dropping that much.

On the positive side, I saw a guy driving a beautiful early-model 1210 Travelall to work this morning. Teal green, split grille, funky split arrow brake lights, no panels, and lifted about 4″. I want one bad, now. It’s the kind of truck where it could look very cool or very stupid, depending on what size tires you have on it and how it’s lifted.
