Just a little left of Center

The hour drive it takes me to get to the office allows me to have plenty of time to get my day planned and to contemplate some of the more meaningless things in life. Ive made some observations of rush hour traffic tendencies that I feel compelled to share. The assholes driving the Prius's commit the most traffic violations. They drive too fast, change lanes like they are drafting at Talladega, late break in almost every situation and generally tend to display a certain arrogance that really pisses me off. If they truly had any brains at all they would realize that the disposal waste from the hybrid system in their ugly little car will cause considerable more harm to the environment than the green house gas emissions of almost every other car manufactured. People in Buick's drive slower than everybody else. Guys driving Porsche's come in two flavors. Fast like they are on the track, and slower than the Buick's. Audi's seem to be the cleanest cars. Corvettes are driven either by old men, slowly as the Buick's, or women who appear to be very friendly. Toyota drivers seem to have no particular driving habits at all, wandering aimlessly. Mercedes Benz drivers appear to drive like they are invincible.

While listening to the news on the radio this morning one of the morning personalities described the Tucson shooter as " a little left of center". Just so you know, that offends me. I have been described like that many times and have never had the urge to try and kill a parking lot full of people. I know many people who I would describe as "a little left of center", they are funny happy well adjusted individuals who just seem a little off. None of them appear to want to shoot a parking lot full of people. I think the shooter should be described as completely nuts. He's never going to get out of prison, and he should be fried any way so lets just call it like it is.

I have had a really good week. I really like my new job, which shouldn't seem to surprising because I usually find good places to work. I have been lucky that way. I can only think of twice in my life when I had really shitty jobs and they didn't last too long. It did take me a long time to find this one this time so I had better keep it for a while.

I get to race my car this weekend. Some friends of mine and Dave's are coming to watch. Hope I don't have a big event. That would be no fun.
