Thursday Thoughts

(Sigh) The Hogs lose to the Longhorns, Grizzlies lose to San Antonio and Memphis loses to Arizona...O Discordia!

Now to digress from sports for just a minute: I have 2 important requests for the 3 people who might read this to pass along to everyone they know. First, a turn lane is a turn lane. Please use it as it's intended. It's not called a turn lane because you "turn" through it while you pull into the Wal-Mart. It's intended purpose is to give you a place to slow down without impeding traffic behind you. Get into the dang turn lane before you ever hit the brake, you brain-dead idiots. And Second, when you're leaving the Wal-Mart...if you're going to be a jackass and pull out in front of me - even though there is NOBODY behind me on the road for as far as the eye can see - at LEAST accelerate to the speed limit. Don't just pull out in front me, make me jam on the brakes and then only go, like, 20 miles per hour.

The point behind both of these points - if you're on the road, please stay out of the way.
