What is with people this morning?

Usually, going to work at 4:30am is a great time to do so. This morning, the idiots were on the road with a vengeance or something. I was met with an indifferent idiot who didn't know if she was going to get on the freeway or slow everyone down. Honking and flashing my horn seemed to make her slower and she stopped in the middle of the ENTRANCE RAMP to the freeway. Signs are also posted on the interstate that slower traffic stay right. Tell that to the Volkswagen bug doing 55 in the left lane. Its Friday people, get your day over with so you can enjoy your weekend off!!!

I dont like this month

Well, its getting close to the end of August. What does that mean? Winter is close. Id rather have warm weather and the top down on my car than to have the top buttoned up and layers of clothes. I enjoy dressing in shorts and sandals too much to have to give that up. Do I really want to become a permanent vacationer to the coastal bend area of Texas just to enjoy some warm weather in the winter? Maybe things arent as bad as I see them...

Police Blotters II

All of my usual sources of Strange Findings are tapped dry today, so I figured a little commentary on some Blotters is in order:

5500 Leopard Street: A police officer reported finding heavy smoke that smelled like marijuana and crack cocaine lingering in the air of a non-smoking room at a hotel. The bathtub was clogged with butts, and the toilet seat had been ripped off. The last people to use the room had checked out.
-If thats how the last people who checked into the room found it, who are they to clean it? Either way, thats one hell of a party!

3700 Castle River Drive: A 59-year-old woman said someone dumped out and cut off the tops of two of her plants and filled her water fountain with soap. She estimated the damage to her property at $145.
-Hey, they didn't salt the earth so nothing else would grow, so count your stars

1200 Sixth Street: A 41-year-old man said someone claiming to be from MasterCard called him. He said when he declined the offer of a card, the caller became abusive, obscene and challenged his sexual preferences.
-Soliciting phone calls, no charge; claiming youre gay, Priceless...

2900 North Shoreline Boulevard: A 26-year-old woman told police her purse and makeup, valued at $70, were stolen when her car was burglarized. She estimated damage to her vehicle at $250.
-Police believe the burglars are fashion motivated and are now looking for lip-gloss, I repeat: Lip-Gloss...

House Sitting

Gonna be house sitting for my friend Will later this week. It should be fun, hang out with his little mutt, watch DVDs all afternoon/evening. Hell, maybe even cruise around Las Cruces and get to know it a little bit. All I know is this: The apartment community has a gym and a pool. Guess where I will be most of the time...

Is there anyone watching?



I don't know of many people who are just enamored with the Olympics this year. I had overheard too many people say that this year's Olympic teams are rife with cocky, over-inflated egotistical athletes who are getting their brains beaten out of them in competition.

With dismal ticket sales in Athens and people really not all that interested in the summer games, why are there images of the olympic rings blazen on NASCAR racers and cheap, non-biodegradeable plastic cups? It couldn't be to get people interested, could it? Nah, its just a cheap ploy to show the denizens of the NASCAR sect and the soccer mom's that the places they patron are kow-towing to the all mighty dollar as they try to recoup their losses this year in Athens.
