Mr Pitt is our new House Transportation Secretary?

I came across this picture of the new House Blib Blab Goober today, and I felt like I'd seen him before. Turns out I was right. He played Mr. Pitt on Seinfeld!

Sometimes thing just don't work out

I got up early today, worked all day, took a short lunch all so I could work out and have time to cook dinner tonight, do some reading and get to bed early so I can do it all again tomorrow.  Instead, I have to spend the next however long it takes taking care of the dead battery in my car or I won't be able to go to work tomorrow.  Ah, the best laid plans....down the crapper.

What can't a dog do?

My dog ate something today that had him doing this hacking, yacking sound (think of the Rottweiler in Christmas Vacation) so I sent him outside. Once he got in the yard, he barfed something up, walked a few steps, started peeing, smelled something and started barking, then walked around and found a good spot to poop. In a matter of like two minutes, he puked, peed and pooped. Dogs are amazing.

Beyond Beyond Thunderdome

Our civilized society is very fragile. The entire thing is held together by the lines painted in the parking lot. I'm serious...you drive somewhere, you park, and there are lines that must fit your car into. You know that every time you go somewhere, and you see that Corvette parked in two spaces you have an urge to park on top of it. How DARE they!!

But then the snow comes down and erases all the lines. Suddenly it's every man for himself. First, the cars are parked every which way. Seriously, do people think that suddenly where ever your car slides to a stop is the parking space? After this last storm, I think the answer is yes. But after that, the gloves come off and it's like the horde circling the compound in the Road Warrior. I saw a woman carrying a baby almost get hit by someone who ran a stop sign. Then, while I was making a left turn (after two cars ran the red light) another car made a U-turn directly in front of me while I was in the intersection. Other people randomly decided that the appropriate thing to do on a 2 lane road was to go from 25 MPH in the right lane to 15 MPH straddling both lanes.

I'm telling you, the lines disappear and so does the rule of law. Next time it snows and you have to go out, bring your sawed off shot gun and a cross bow. You just might need them before you get where you're going.

Why is it so hard to use the turn signal?

I found out tonight I can eat a churro, set the cruise control, AND use my turn signal all at the same time. What do other people have going on that they can't use their friggin turn signals?! It's one of those things that I have no control over that eats at me.

Here's a good ad for Kyocera...I like it not so much for the advertising value, but squirrels latching onto a guys face always makes me laugh.

We just left the Legacy Dinner for the Denver Rescue Mission. What a humbling experience...it was really good to see where our donations are going, and that they are contributing to a greater good. The work the people at the Mission do is defintely on a higher plane than what I do day after day. If I'm not doing it, at least we're funding it.
