Denward looks so funny (Ghost) he has a small little head on a big body! 
Kwescott looks the most normal on Cesars body.

Happy Birthday Sherry.
Yep. I'm back.
I'm busy at work trying to play catch up, and at night, working on moving stuff to the new house.
BTW - If anyone can recommend a moving company to use for our larger furniture, let me know.

feel free to add more.I probably get the best gas mileage of the bunch, because I drive 98% highway. Get, on average, 285-290 per tank, filling up about 13.8-14.2 gallons at fill up. I keep the cruise control on as much as I can, stuck at 70. (disclaimer, your gas mileage may vary)

make sure your tire air pressure is good
have a clean air filter
drive like a grandma (a rotory grandma, which is slightly different from a piston grandma)

I shift at 5100 RPMs - drive half freeway half streets - cruise the freeway around 80 MPH and get about 260 miles per tank (filling up between 13 and 14 gallons)

If any of you guys are serious about actually tracking your MPG, let me know. I've got an AWESOME excel spreadsheet that I've been using to track mileage. I think I'm somewhere around 17 mpg average over the last 15,000 miles or so.
