Doing my Civic Duty

If you've ever driven down a highway, you've had to have seen those trucks with the "How's my driving" stickers with an 800 number to call with a vehicle number. Of course, the best ones are the stickers that say "How's My Driving---Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT."...

Well, tonight, I was driving my normal route and came upon a car in front of me that was traveling slow (it was slightly wet) but when we got to a major intersection, he stopped kinda halfway between our lane and the next lane. No biggie as I presumed he may just not have seen the lane marker since it was dark. Well, some guy came up on the right and ended up flying past us when the light turned green. Again, no biggie as I would have done the same if I had thought about it...

As we start moving though, the car is moving at like 10 miles an hour. At this point, it's 5:30 at night, on a dark rainy night. And rush hour, so I've already got about 50 cars behind me that I can tell are getting pretty pissed. But not much I can do as it's a one lane road and I ain't passing illegally on a dark night.

File this under DUH!!!!!

Ok, I had to post this one...

Everyday, just to break up the day and allow me to know when time is actually passing at work, I have different text messages sent to my phone at various times. Most of them are stupid things like news updates or sports scores etc, but one I usually look forward to is called "News of the Weird"... well today it was ????

So I get this text message. "News of the Weird - Researchers in Japan have discovered that happiness is related to the amount of income a person receives."

Um.... No sh*t sherlock!!! My freaking 2 year old could have told me that! And it took a team of researchers in Japan to figure that out??? How much freaking money do they make in a year to come up with a study like that??? Oh my freaking gosh!!! I bet you they probably had a million dollar grant from a University and came up with that as their results! A Pre-schooler could have figured that one out dipsh*t!!!!!!

Spam anyone???

Well, if the blogger counts are actually correct, I think this is my 200th post! Pretty incredible if I do say so myself. However, of course, it should be like number 500 but I've somewhat abandoned this thing. Each time I say, hmmm I need to post that or hey! I should blog this!!!... well, that's as far as it gets. And I really thought about throwing in the towel when earlier this week I got a comment on my blog that was unsolicited! Actually someone stumbling across my blog and leaving a comment! (and a good one at that!)

But then I got the same comment again on Thursday. From the same person.... and the SAME exact comment. Now I've heard about 'comment spam' on alot of other blogs that I read each day, but never did I think that I would actually be hit with it as well! But maybe it's genuine. And if it is, of course Mr. Computer guy or whatever your name was... please accept my deepest apoligies. But when I looked at my last post before this one, expecting to see the comment there, it wasn't. Nor on the next previous post. In fact, it went back a few months which means that the person, or computer, must have picked up on something in my archives. oh... and yes, in his comment to me, he of course mentioned his own blog, presumably for either cross traffic or self glorification. Not sure which one. But you did say you were going to bookmark my blog and if that is the case, then please redeem yourself by posting on this post a new comment and don't reference your site for once so I know you are genuine. If I do see that, then by all means, I will visit your blog, heck, I'll even post a link from this blog to yours, and add it to my OTHER blog that I run primarily as a testing ground but to this day still gets more hits than this one!

Phew! What a rant!
