24 - 13 = 11

For those of you mathematically un-inclined, my equation is Total Hours of 24 - Aired Hours of 24 = Remaining Hours of 24. Yes, I know. It is always a sad state of affairs when a season of 24 is more than half way over. Even so, once again, Monday night's episode rocked. I have been privileged enough to watch the last few episodes with fellow 24 uber geeks so it has been even more fun than usual. What's the deal with Tony? He can't die too ... right? I guess we'll all have to watch and find out.

In other news, took the Mazda in to the dealer today for the mandatory recall regarding the intake manifold shutter valve. I'm not exactly sure what that is or what it does, but what I do know is that it starts better, runs better, and seems to be using less gas than before whatever they replaced was replaced. They also let me know (very kindly, I might add) that my 15,000 mile service is quickly approaching. Just the usual stuff: new air and fuel filters and a tire rotation. I may have them do an alignment as well - seems to be pulling a little to the right. All in good time.
