Turns out that the driver, Mr. Pabst, got on the freeway going the right way and missed his exit. So he made a u-turn and started back, going the wrong way.
So these spike strips, that Gov. Richardson wants on the offramps, would not have prevented this accident in any way. Unlike he claims they would have.
This is such an obvious and sad example of using a tragedy to try and advance his political career.
Last night was a blessing. I believe it was the first night that both children slept through the night. As some of you know, our son has Acid Reflux disease. It must really suck for an infant to have this and not know what it is. And due to it, it keeps them up at night. Subsequently, it keeps us up as well. He has done ok in the past. He has slept the night a couple times, but on those nights our daughter decided to have bad dreams and wake up crying. Or just wake up and want pancakes at 1am.
Due to a horrible accident, the other night, Gov Richardson wants even tougher DWI laws. Well, he just made them tougher not that long ago and that didn’t seem to help, did it. Now he wants spike strips on freeway offramps so people (more…)
I forgot how hard it is to look for a job. Maybe it’s harder when unemployed? But man I’ve been out there to all the staffing agencies, and companies.
Funny thing about weekends when you’re unemployed. They don’t mean quite so much.
Look, I added a favicon. the little ET up there in the address bar. I’m getting pretty excited about learning the most basic of HTML codes. Ya I know, many of you can do a whole lot more. But at one time you knew less than I do, now. LOL. We all have to start learning sometime.
What if you had your finger on the button? What if you had the power to end it all? Would you do it?
Would you push the button?
So I was looking at some of that stuff over there. I haven’t had the drive to change much of it. Plus I like seeing that a whopping 18 people have visited my site! Well, in doing so, you 16 people have made this the 1,370,887th most popular blog on the net, according to Technorati.
YOU LIKE ME, YOU REALLY LIKE ME!
Time to start selling ad space. Now where’s that number to Golden Palace?
Oh well. It’s not like it will stay this way forever. The dems sure better follow through on their promises to do something in Iraq. Even though no-one knows what that something is, besides “pull-out”. Pelosi is already saying they will pass a tax cut for the middle class. Well, if their leader, Bill Clinton, couldn’t do it (remember how hard he worked?) then what makes them think they can? If they do it, then good job, but I’m not holding my breath.
Ok, I like to play poker, but watching it on tv? It’s pretty boring!
Well, I thought that was boring, until the other day when I saw DOMINOS on tv. No, not the pizza place, but the game. They had a domino tournie on ESPN. I was sucked in, I had to watch it, I could not resist. I guess the creators of dodgeball weren’t too far off in mocking ESPN.
So there I was, watching old, fat, bald, guys playing dominosÂ
Then it happened. The most ridiculous thing EVER!
SLOW MOTION INSTANT REPLY!Â
Yes, you heard me. Slo-mo instant replay of a guy playing a domino, then raising his arms in victory! It was riveting I tell you. The dexterity in which he plucked his final domino from the tray, the fluidity with which he turned it to match the previously played domino and the confidence in placing it just so. There is nothing, I repeat NOTHING more dramatic than watching a man play a domino in slow motion.
I play and have played many sports; soccer, baseball, softball, paintball, hockey, mountain biking, snowboarding…. and so on. But I’ve met my match. I’ve never been on TV for my mountain biking skills, or my body boarding prowess not even for the several one timer shots I’ve had in hockey. Heck, the only time I’ve been in the paper is in the police blotter section. But these retired, out of shape, one pastrami and bratwurst sandwich away from heartfailure, guys are on ESPN with slo-mo replays for laying down a silly little ceramic, black dotted tile.
Tonight is a great night. Got family over, good beer and I’m smoking ribs. These are my special (not short bus special) ribs. Jack Daniels wood chips, JD glaze and great meat.
 We played some soccer in the backyard, earlier, and it was great. The kids, with some help from an adult, against other adults. It was like trying to play regular soccer on a fooseball table, since the backyard is so small.
