Well, yes. Perhaps a better way to put it is: "A day without spending money outside what's already been automatically set up or otherwise accounted for as a routine of owning property, etc." But that just doesn't trip off the tongue :-) Alex… Well, yes.

But procrastination bit me today. I needed to buy an external hard drive, shoulda done it weeks ago. Yesterday, I spent the day clipping and cataloging video from last week's work. Sure enough, I ran out of hard drive space. So today I had a choice: go to the store and be able to get my work done, or spend the day backing stuff up on DVDs and get no work done. I very much enjoyed parking my bike easily while the hoards drove endlessly around the lot and then walked from the far reaches of it. I was probably in and out before they got to the front door.
