With the son getting baptized this weekend we’ve been busy with preparations and guests. The house is clean, the cars are washed, the food is being cooked, and the cat is hiding under the bed, intent on hiding out until the chaos is over with.
Will see everyone again on Monday with a (hopefully) more in-depth and enjoyable post.
In the meantime, here’s a completely unrelated video:
Have a happy!
Noticed this car at work the other day. I wonder what he did to make somebody key it up like this:
Personally I’ve never keyed a car in my life. There have been times when I’ve been tempted to, but I just couldn’t bring myself to mess with someone’s vehicle.
As I write this post it’s 10pm and I just got home from a four hour ordeal at the automotive dealership. Buying a new car is never an enjoyable task. I’m simply beat (and feeling a bit sick..uh oh).
In place of a decent post, please enjoy this video of the refrigerator from hell…
While inching my way home this afternoon on a busy local freeway I noticed a man standing in the median between the slow lane and a crowded onramp hold both arms extended with thumbs up. Desperate for a ride, his squinting eyes furtively scanned the faces of each driver as they passed by, hoping his desperate, animated pleas for a ride would convince a good citizen to stop and pick him up.
As I slowly approached this roadside apparition, two cop cars sped by me in the emergency lane with lights flashing and sirens wailing before finally coming to a screeching halt in front of the hitchhiker. They quickly emerged from their vehicles with guns drawn and began barking orders. In my rearview mirror I could see the man on his stomach with both cops pinning him to the ground.
I’m unsure if this guy had just committed a crime and was trying to get away, but that was an unusual and highly dangerous location to be thumbing a ride from.
If nothing else, it was a surreal way to end a busy work day 
Breaking away for a moment for a bit of levity, confoundment, and perplexity.
As I watch this video I can’t help but wonder why this never happened to be during those many years of taking the bus to school:
Is there a reason why buses don’t have seat belts? Just curious…
