When It's Good To Be Below Average

I heard on the radio this morning that the average price of gas has fallen across the country. I'm so happy to say that some gas stations here are below average. Never before has it been so nice to be below average. Not that prices are anywhere near reasonable, still every few cents help.

I Did Not Need The Confirmation

I did not need the confirmation this morning that all of North Alabama has forgotten how to drive in the rain. 7 wrecks on 1 road within a few miles of each other. 7! There are Hollywood action movies with fewer car accidents. Just makes me look forward to the drive home. Now where is my tank?

Random Thoughts From the Far Side

I've had this thought in my head about a post I've wanted to write. It was this much too mushy thought about the world my son is going to be born into. It's ran from end to end. I've thought of things as serious as war, disease, terrorist and like to simple things like name brands of cars that are out of existence before he's even born.

With the heavy thoughts of the first items, it seems silly to even think about the other things, but I think the other things are what make me feel older. One that comes to mind is Southtrust Bank. It was purchased a while back and now the name is pretty much gone. Well, that was bank I had in the small town I grew up in. That was bank I used when I first moved to Huntsville. Now, it will be that bank that doesn't even exist when the kid is born. His entire life will be lived without such things as Oldsmobile, Cingular, Bellsouth, or Southtrust. Just random thoughts, but I can already see the conversation years from that will really make me feel old.

Like I said, it was random scattered thoughts, much like a conversation with Paris Hilton, except I kept my top on.

At Least She Drives a "Safe" Car

If you are going to drive like a maniac at least drive a safe car, like the Volvo SUV that tried to run me off the road and then to rear end me down Hughes road. I suppose a Hummer might be a better choice, it would give you a better chance of going over someone.

I could tell she was going to a bad driver as I watched her turn onto the highway, no turn signal, and rather erratic lane changes, she was hard to spot I tell you. Then the entire way down Hughes road she is on the bumper of my car. I'm already going about 45 in a 40. Yes, Madison police, people speed on Hughes Road, please ignore that fact. Anyway, that's as fast as I can go without worrying about a ticket or running over the car in front of me. I guess that was not fast enough for her.

My only joy out of this was the fact I can downshift quickly and slow down without touching my brakes, ha, serves her right. It also got her to back off some, but I could see her in the rear view mirror, she was still wanting to go much faster and still driving as bad as ever.

Why all the rush? She had to get her small child who is the back seat to the school to meet some other kids. The back seat is the safest place for a child, but I'm sure he'd be safer in another car.
