Here goes nothing.....literally

Well, someone keeps telling me there are no new rants...well, the title was changed to reflect rants, raves, comments.....stuff....
Over the past month, there are TONS, yes TONS of things that have struck me as odd, weird, and even annoyed me - I did say annoyed...but, honestly, I couldn't keep those thoughts in my head long enough to determine if they were worth writing about...and apparently not, since I didn't write about them. Oh well.

On May 24, however, after I made my last post - my sister and I headed out in the car for a 'road trip'. We headed to Windsor - why you ask - cause we hadn't gone there previously for a 'tourist day'. Let me tell you, it was freakin' HOT....as you can see by the in vehicle thermometer. At points it was 32-33 degrees, however, I was driving - and that makes it difficult to take a picture of the dash.







On another note, I did witness a robbery in broad daylight. Some poor kid was 'jacked' for $6 and his iPod Touch. At first I didn't realize what was happening till it was all done, and I approached the kid and asked if he just got robbed...and he did. So, 911 was called, statements were filed, and even though Glenn spent a good 45-60 minutes driving around looking for the little bastards who robbed the kid, no luck. It's not likely the kid will get his property back, nor will the little fuckers who robbed the kid get caught - but, at least it was reported.

Hmmm, what else can I write about....ah yes, yesterday, while bringing Shelby into town, we saw a car on fire on the highway - Shelby did her civic duty and called 911 as well (since I was driving, I legally COULD have called 911, it's the only time you ARE permitted to be on your cell phone while driving) to report the car fire - hopefully it was extinguished - couldn't have been too newsworthy as there was nothing in the on-line edition of the newspaper today.

Speaking of cellphones and driving - apparently some people haven't heard that it is ILLEGAL to talk on your cell phone while driving (illegal to HOLD and talk, hands-free is permitted, with regulations) or they really don't give a rats-ass and continue to talk/hold and drive. THAT annoys the F**K outta me...maybe I'll stand on the side of the road some day with my camera and take pictures of the offenders along with photos of their license plates and give that to the cops.....there - call someone on your cellphone while driving about that you f'n idiots!?!?!?!
(rant off)

That's it for today....there may be more soon - you'll have to wait and see, won't you?
