Monopoly

I just drove by two police cars, illegally parked, not a blinky light on either. They were blocking a traffic lane causing a bit of a bottleneck. I always thought that the police were supposed to lead by example. Not in my town. If you have any job where you drive a city vehicle you can pretty much do what you want without repercussions. Get out of jail free.

Where Can You Reach?

I've always felt a little jealous of people in the UK and Europe because they have better opportunities for travel. If you live in England you can travel to at least a half a dozen other countries in the same distance it takes me to reach the nearest edge of mine. And that only gets me to Canada. No offense to the Canadians, but I've been there and it's a lot like here, only nicer.

For me to get to any place in Europe it's over 7000 kilometers. And you wouldn't believe the frequent flyer miles I got for going to Australia and back.  :-)

Hey Idiot

Hey, mister 4 door small to mid-size sedan, your car is not a tractor trailer semi. You don't need to swing half a lane wide to make a right hand turn. You really don't.

WTF

What the hell happened to spring? It's too early for temps approaching body temp. I wanted a few weeks of room temperature before we rocketed onto F'n summer.

Just Shoot Me Now

15 percent of the people in my country don't know that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
10 percent of high school seniors think that Noah from the Bible was married to Joan of Arc.
6 percent of Americans believe unicorns are real.
29 percent have no idea who is the Vice President is.

Welcome to Idiot-land.

Ooooooh, shiny.

Since I restarted this blog I've been posting from the tablet computer. Yes, this means that I can post in the bathroom. Yes, I've done that. :-)

But even better yet, I just discovered this thing has speech to text. It actually does a pretty good job if you speak clearly. So I imagine now my ability to spell will go rapidly down hill.

Facepalm

I am often disappointed in my species. Perseverance is not pronounced "prez-er-veer-ants". It's just not. Idiot.

Even More

And then we have a flood warning for the next 5 days. Yippie.

More

And its raining and raining .  It's supposed to rain for several days. I don't think we really need any more flooding.
