In the "Now I've Seen Everything" department

Saw a Ford Focus with a fart-can muffler and no other visible mods. Now I know that there are some Focuses out there that are real pocket rockets, but this was a dusty, plain-jane model, except for a really annoying muffler. The anemic puffs made it sound more like a go-kart than a muscle car, no disrespect to the karts. There's a reason San Diego was the birthplace of The Rice-Boy Page.

Elvis Costello is getting engaged to... Diana Krall? Where did that come from? I guess it's kinda cool for a rock star to marry a musician who can play rings around him on the piano, instead of the supermodel bimbos they usually latch on to.
