An Alarming Schoot Bus Statistic

A statistic of 86,000+ drivers who illegal pass school buses in a single day is absolutely astounding. I read about that statistic from a survey conducted by The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services. It is hard to fathom that many illegal passes of school buses....

The Sign Reads "Closed," But The Shop Is Open

The "Closed" sign was still up when I went to the health clinic this morning, but I saw that it obviously was not. For the second time in less than a week I encountered a sign indicating an establishment to be closed when actually it was not. The Midas shop was the first place. In both cases, I let...

When One Supervisor Is Better Than The Other. . . .

When one borrows a supervisor's work keys and forgets to return them, it is better and more fortunate that it is one supervisor as opposed to another. That happened to me today. When I arrived home, I finally realized that I had the boss's keys. Fortunately, I borrowed them from my supervisor who... Sign in to see full entry.

Thunder/Lightning Storm

"Lightning storm" was the term I used two blogs ago when I wrote about the football game delays. I find it odd I chose that term whem weathermen and metereroologists and just about everyone else say "thunderstorm." Is "thunderstorm" the more correct term then? I looked up in the dictionary the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Accidentally Scrtached It, And I Am Tired

My original subject for this entry was something different, but my finger hit a wrong key and deleted it just as I was just about finished. Being I am tired after my long work day, I have decided I will rewrite that deleted blog entry when I take my place at the computer tomorrow. Sign in to see full entry.

Man's Power Outages; Nature's Power Interruption

Three lightning storm delays already two games into the National Football League season. It seems odd that so many delays should suddenly pop up. In baseball, rain stops games all the time; and rain interrupts Wimbledon play. But football games seldom are canceled or even delayed. This early season... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad Shoes, Bad Back

Pain in my lower right back had persisted for quite some time over that past several weeks. Confused what was causing it, I speculated to myself that my hernia surgery may have been all for nought. On a hunch, though, I did have the good sense to order new work boots. I had been wearing the old ones... Sign in to see full entry.

The Electronic Counterparts To Babblers We must be masochists to gravitate so much to babbling speakers that we now talk or listen to talking machines. On telephone information, I have had to speak back to a voice recognition automated message. The problem is that the computer has a hard time... Sign in to see full entry.

Business Patron Restroom Courtesy

The pressure was beginning to mount. I was waiting about an hour and half--three times as long--for my car work to be finished. My bladder was about to explode, and from what I could tell the car shop had no public restroom. I decided to ask the man behind the counter how long it would be for my... Sign in to see full entry.

Pastor's Antics Does Not Honor The Memory Of 9/11 Vixrima

A heavy weight of vengeance is hardly the way to remember the nearly three thousand who died on 9/11. Yet, that is how I am struck with the plans of Pastor Terry Jones of Florida. He was planning to burn 2,996 Korans, one for each 9/11 victim. But the police stopped him on public safety concerns for... Sign in to see full entry.
