Dear Mr. Mustachio,
I am writing to find out what is wrong. I was so used to you frequently posting wonderful entries to your blog, but then one day it just stopped. I have google set up to let me know when you make new posts, but when I didn't get any updates I thought it might be broken. Then I found myself checking your blog to make sure that you hadn't made a new post. Eventually that turned in to me checking your blog 10 to 12 times a day. I really don't know how much longer I can take this. I know that I can't possibly be the only one who is missing your posts. Please stop torturing us and update your blog.

Love always,
Your Biggest Fan


Dear Mom or Inmate # 58776538 (I'm not sure which of you is currently my biggest fan),

I would like to apologize for causing you so much strife. October has been a very busy month. Work was crazy the first couple of weeks and then I had to try and catch up with everything that got set aside for work. The next thing I knew it was already Halloween. I am very disappointed in myself too. I didn't even get to spend an outrageous number of hours carving pumpkins that would only last for a few days. So, I would just like to say that I am sorry. I would like to promise you that this will never happen again. However, I really can't make that promise. What I can promise is that whatever I post in the future will probably be very important and informative. Either that or it will make you wish that you had never learned how to read. Is that a good enough promise? I'll take your silence to mean that it is. As part of my apology I would like to provide you with something that has been occupying my mind as of late. That will follow the close of this letter. I hope that they are feeding you well or that Mike has found a remedy to his horrific snoring.

Yours Truly,
Mr. Mustachio

So, I've been wondering about something for many years. Have you ever been driving somewhere and noticed a sticker similar to this one on the car in front of you?

I have too. It just seems like recently I have been noticing them more. So, my question is why does one choose to do this? I used to see sweatshirts and t-shirts with the In Loving Memory of so and so on it in high school. At the time it was usually some cholos wearing them, so I assumed that they were trying to pay tribute to a friend who had been deported. But then I started noticing them at other places and on other things. I think that the car window sticker has got me most perplexed though. I have seen the In Loving Memory as part of a tombstone, and that makes sense to me. But, why on a car? Did the person write in their will that instead of paying for a headstone, they wanted somebody to use that money on a car instead? Do you really need a reminder to keep remembering somebody who was close to you? And if you do, wouldn't you need to put the reminder on the windshield and not the back window? Or if you did put it on the back window, wouldn't you need to write it as a mirror image so you could read it from your rear view mirror? Maybe they always drive in caravans with other people that they want to remember the person that has passed away and I just happened to have merged into the caravan? Or maybe somebody has the problem that was presented in the highly recommended movie 50 First Dates (If you don't know what I am talking about, check out the movie). In any case, I would love to hear an explanation that makes sense of this phenomenon. That is a glimpse into what occupies my mind. I'm sure that medical science world is grateful that I shared. Hopefully another wonderful post will soon follow. Until then.
