What stimulus?

This ill-advised government stimulus program is a farce. I was opposed from the beginning, but who am I to refuse a check from the government? I had grand ideas like installing a retaining wall in the front yard or sensible ones like replacing the pipes. But there'll be none of that.

I blew through $1,800 in nothing flat, and it wasn't stimulating in the least. All I did was catch up on some bills. I did splurge, finally, on one of those GPS navigation units for the car. Ironic for a guy who seldom travels outside my 1.5 mile comfort zone -- unless I'm on my bicycle.
