"And the race is on..."

I'm telling ya, if your not having to deal with the headaches of road construction you gotta deal with cell phone drivers and old people. Some times you get both evils at the same time. Last week I'm at a red light one car in front of me and and another in the other lane. Just three lonely cars waiting for the light to turn green. Light turns green and low and behold I look in front of me and it's little old woman that can barely see above the dash. She pulls out REAL slow, no biggy I'll switch lanes. I get in the other lane and notice it's a college girl yacking it up on the cell phone. The problem with this story is the little old lady and cell phone girl were neck and neck going 30mph in a 45mph zone. I got frustrated at first, then I sorta found the humor in it. It almost looked like a race, old lady would get a little ahead then the cell phone girl would catch up, almost like racing. Who would get to the next red light first? Well I'll never know cause the cell phone girl finished her phone call and quickly speeded up to the speed limit.

They need a old peoples lane. And they need to outlaw cell phones while driving. One day you know someone will invent a phone jammer attached to frontend of cars. Push a little button and that person on the cell phone in front of you somehow gets filled with static.

"Hello???"

I inspect places every day and some places know me and some don't. I know how much some places despise city workers and people that come there to check stuff. What really hacks me off is when I walk into some of these places and right off the bat and say hello, I get nothing! I get the cold stare, the glare that city is scum. Come on now, if they saw my paycheck they would not only die from laughter but they would prob give me a donation.

So if someone out there says HELLO to you, say hello back! Surely you won't blow a gasket.
