first!

well, here i am, interwebs! i like to think i have something deep to offer, but knowing the way these things work, probably not.

so, is the proper way to start these things with a rant? if so, here goes.

why is it that people can't be more considerate when they drive? i swear, around here, many drivers have a switch in their brain that, when the ignition key is turned, their common sense just turns off. driving my wife to work this evening, some guy in an SUV (denali) decides to turn right, in front of me. there was about a civic length between me and the vehicle in front of me. needless to say, i was annoyed, so i laid on the horn. (i'm learning from my wife. she readily encourages horn usage to broadcast displeasure with other drivers.) the DIAD (dummy in a denali) decides to brakecheck. now, i hadn't backed off as much as i would have liked, as this was only about 100 feet from where he decided to insert himself into traffic. so, i had to slam on the brakes to avoid him. luckily, there were NO cars behind me, so all possible accidents were avoided.

oi. times like that, i wish for a red shell from mario kart. had to satisfy myself with some minor swear words and a little fist shaking. somehow, i don't think he cared.

sad.

but on a lighter note, welcome! and hopefully i can keep you entertained for many [insert plural increment of time] to come!
