  72. I was sent a &quot;winning&quot; entry to some contest by a car dealership.
  73. They get you by making all of their entries &quot;winners&quot;, but making all but a few of them have tiny prizes.
  74. They don&apos;t tell you what you&apos;ve &quot;won&quot; until they get you there, then they probably try a sales pitch on you.
  75. I&apos;m certain my &quot;prize&quot; is the five-dollar gift card, but I&apos;ll take it in tomorrow to see what they say.
  76. It should be good for a laugh.
  77. They&apos;ll try their sales pitch, and I&apos;ll say I have no driver license and can&apos;t buy.
  78. I&apos;ll also say near the beginning something about being there to claim my five-dollar gift card, making it clear I know I haven&apos;t won anything.
  79. Honestly, the gift card won&apos;t even be worth the trip, but the amusement the trip&apos;ll bring me probably will be.
  80. Besides, I feel better if I get out of my apartment even for just a few minutes, and this will take longer.

  83. My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.

  89. I planned to get my <span title="Greek and Roman Civilization">HIST 1421</span> essay completed today, but I just wasn&apos;t feeling it.
  90. I only got about half of it done.
  91. I&apos;m going to regret being unable to keep on task today later in the week.
