Three (3) Things I Learned Today (Monday 12.17.2012)
Monday, the adventurous first day of the week where you magically learn at 8am how wonderfully jacked your week is or is not going to be! Fortunately for me, My week should be decent. Smooth exit from the warehouse, mid day nap, and walked away from the casino up 10 bucks! Remember, it's the small things that count.
Well I'm up too late as usually so lets rip this out...
The Three (3) Things I Learned Today (Monday 12.17.2012)
1) It's inevitable that if you put up a sign to not do something, people will naturally want to do it. Take this for instance: at many points on the highway there comes a point where the lanes narrow. The DOT decided it would be wise to post signs telling motorists that for the next X miles lane changes are prohibited. Only problem with that is, it seems to be an invitation for yahoos to change lanes like 42 and a half times. They should just post a sign that says: "Change lanes as many times as you want. You are the idiot that is going to flip, cream the median, and die."
2)There are two songs that are a most after getting pulled over, a) NWA - F' The Police and more recent hit b) Chamillionaire "Ridin' Dirty". Now I realize that either one of these songs may be offensive, but it's just a song. So get over it.
3)Apparently there is a new fad of hanging on the side of the interstate highway just to look at the cars pass by. No joke there was a 50 year old man standing in the emergency lane just looking out at traffic. At first I thought he might be a hitch hiker, but he displayed no thumb, no sign, and no intention of flagging down anyone. Either he was a bit crazy, or maybe he was a rabid NASCAR fan that doesn't know what to do with himself now that the Racin' Season is over with.
FREEBIE) It's always fun trying to dodge other semi's in the fog, approaching winter storm warning areas, climbing a mountain pass; when they don't have running lights. That's not a small man running alongside their truck holding lights, that's the lights that should be on the back of their damn truck so that people behind them know that they're freakin there! I don't have a cb radio in my truck, otherwise I would have extensively told this guy that he obviously did not do his pretrip inspection of his truck and trailer. Oh well, I'm sure he'll get boned at the next weigh/inspection station. Funny how that works. Hope you enjoy that bill dude.
