Umm… Long Time, No Blog?

Posted on by

Let’s see… what has happened in the last 7 days:

– the Volvo shorted out something that they are taking forever to figure out
– we had chinook winds twice
– we’ve gotten 7 inches of snow cumulatively
– I got diagnosed with a sinus infection (surprise, surprise)
– I got checked out after the accident about 2 weeks ago
– I went down to Great Falls
– I took the LSAT

And… yeah.Â? It seemed like a crazier week but mostly because I was trying to work things around going down to Great Falls.

Super Bowl XLI: The Good, the Bad, and the Commercials

Posted on by

OK… skipping the postgame show. This is my rundown.

The Good
–the Cirque de Soleil performers during the pre-game.
-the moment of silence for the tornado victims
-Billy Joel doing the National Anthem tastefully
-Marlee Matlin doing the National Anthem in ASL
-the touchdown scored off the kickoff
-Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith hugging at the end of the game (good sportsmanship)

The Bad
-the commercials were interrupted by obnoxious interludes of football
-the rain on the field made it harder to play
-having to discipline the panther for scratching at the carpet (she’s now soaking wet from the “ENFORCEMENT” bottle as she was a repeat offender)

For Whom Should I Be Cheering?

Posted on by

OK… the Bears and the Colts are playing tomorrow in the SuperBowl.Â? Given that all the teams I care about have been knocked out, for which team should I be cheering?Â? Leave me a comment.

The SuperBowl… great commercials with annoying interludes of football.

Just A Few Thoughts

Posted on by

For those who know about me getting rear-ended while turning onto the road through town, I’m OK and in one piece.Â? (I am utterly amazed at the number of drivers who haven’t heard of turn signals — I. WAS. USING. MINE. AND. THEY. IGNORED. IT. AND. TRIED. TO. PASS. ME.Â? I really have no pity for them because they also were really rude to me after they hit me.)Â? Give me a couple days to get over the sore muscles and I’ll be my normal ornery self.Â? :)Â? The stupidheads who hit me managed to do some pretty decent damage to their pick-up though.Â? (My car is still driveable though it needs some body work and the tail-light replaced.)

Well… we were driving home tonight and going about 10 mph under the speed limit because visibility was crappy and snow was blowing on the roads.Â? (In other words, not weather in which you should be doing upwards of 65 mph) and some idiot decided to tailgate us with their brights on.

OK… let’s talk about common sense.Â? If there’s crappy visibility due to fog or blowing snow, your brights aren’t going to help — in fact, they make it worse.Â? Secondly, if there’s blowing snow, the road conditions are worse than usual and this means that going the normal speed limit is not incredibly advisable.Â? Sorry… I’d rather get home later if it means I get home in one piece.

People!Â? Use your brains!!!!!
