Free Ice Cream

Just in case you did not know! I am giving away free ice cream tomorrow to all my blog readers. Not really, but tomorrow is free ice cream cone day at Ben and Jerry's. Seems my girls are missing library day for an ice cream adventure!

Dude!!!!!!!

The entrance to I-80 at 1300 south west bound can be a little frustrating at drive time. The other day I actually got mad and honked at a fellow commuter. Now I am not an angry man, but on this date I was upset at a fellow driver that had no idea what was going on around her as she conversed on her cell phone while eating a Big Mac.

As I honked the horn, I heard from the back seat, "Don't hit um Dad". "Dad don't hit um". Now hitting the car in front of me had ever crossed my mind. Communicating my anger to the female driver of the Toyota RAV 4, at her selfish inability to place her foot on the accelerator advancing her position in the normal flow of traffic, placing her vehicle in one lane of travel instead of the two she occupied while lovingly consuming 50 grams of fat in her Big Mac, did. Did I mention the cell phone in her greasy paw?

Now at this point in time I had to explain to my daughter, the appropriate use of the horn. My intentions were not to hit the RAV 4 driven by the woman eating a Big Mac sporting a mullet. I did my best to tell her that driving is a privilege and we should pay attention to what we are doing and be courteous to other drivers. Once in a while Big Mac eating, cell phone blabbing, mullet sporting driver needs to be reminded that there are others on the road.

Who said?

"Men of few words are the best men."

Excuse me, are you dying

Picture this, I am in the kitchen. My wife doubles over in pain. She shakes her hand as if she has broken it. She squirms as if she is going through the worst pain of her life. I consider calling 911. I ask her what's wrong and suddenly she stands up and says, "Sorry, brain freeze!" I guess it is spring because Slurpee season has started.

Mexican Cola and a Warning

The family took a blind taste test this morning and it is official Mexican Coca Cola wins. Sorry, Nebraska. I am sure the corn huskers would like us to think corn sweeteners are just a good as sugar. Kind of like saying, Taco Bell is as good as Red Iguana.

I met a guy on the plane a while ago. He worked for the corn industry. The corn industry is trying to get the Central American soft drink manufactures to use their product. I was just grateful when I cheated off his immigration declaration sheet he did not declare a large amount of cash. Like many of my warnings no one cares.

Remember the deer warning. I have an update. We did have a mountain lion hanging out in the small ravine close to home. My neighbor talked to fish and game officers that were attempting to catch the cat. You never hear about this things until one of these cats, goes after a slow two legged deer running down the road. Talk about an early morning jogging wake up call.

Speaking of wake up calls. I was running in a May 5th, 5k race, with my nephew one year. I heard a very loud clump clump coming up behind me. It got louder and louder very quickly. I was quickly passed by an Ethiopian runner in dress shoes with white socks. He was also dressed in one of the heaviest 1980 sweat suits I had ever seen. I am sure if he had a down parka he would have been wearing it. I picked up my pace, but could not catch him. I guess the moral of the story is, let the mountain lions roam free and maybe we will all become faster runners.

I need some help ...

I need some help. I need a new place to eat. Any suggestions?

Who Told the Press???
