* * * * * A rather disturbing state of affairs regarding a tire and some leather A cold snap is passing through South Florida (it's expected to get to the mid 30s tonight) and because of that, I broke out the heavy leather jacket I have. As I was leaving the Weekly Company Meeting™, I zipped up the jacket, but I must have somehow mis-zipped it, because shortly afterwards I found it unzipping itself from the bottom up (the only other conclusion is that the jacket has a lack of girth, whereas I have an abundance of girth, and the two didn't quite mix—or something like that). The upshot: a mostly open leather jacket clasped at the neck that was rather awkward to take off. I also spent the better part of an hour manually attempting to re-zip the jacket from the bottom up so I could unzip it normally; a most annoying process, let me tell you. I was successful in my endevour though, but until further notice, I won't be able to zip up my jacket. Email Sean Conner at sean@conman.org .
