Success

I will get to the topic of this days blog after a few minutes. I am feeling the need to rant about a few things so here goes.

People who have accidents during rush hour deserve too. I have been enjoying the rush hour experience for a while now and I think I am qualified to make this observation. Unfortunately they usually involve someone else who may not deserve it. I watched an idiot this morning who tailgated every car she was behind. I mean close now, probably only 1 foot behind the car she was following. Last night I witnessed a woman in a Toyota RAV 4 scream and holler every time that traffic slowed or came to a stop. She waved her hands and moved her head around like she was having some kind of seizure. It was kind of scary to watch actually, I half expected her head to spin around like that chick in the exorcist. I moved over and let her pass me just in case she forgot where the brake pedal was and so I could enjoy this picture show from behind.

I want all of the people who are now complaining about nuclear power and nuclear power plants to get together and live in some commune without power and running water and all the amenities that they are so used to. It seems that some of the people who complain the most are the ones that rely the heaviest on the amenities that cheap electricity provides for them. When all our natural resources are depleted and they don't have any way to get the mini van with their 6 kids to their place of worship with the 100k organ and all the fancy lights and music and t.v. monitors I wonder then if they might think a little differently.

Now for the Success part. Most of you know that I haven't seen my sister in quite some time. 13 years to be exact. Well after getting in touch with each other about a year ago, and talking quite frequently now, she came for a visit this last weekend for my nephew's spring break. He is 16 now and I haven't seen him since he was 3 years old. What a great kid. My sister has not had an easy life, and so I'm sure that he hasn't either. They are very close to each other, he is polite, respectful, intelligent, clean, and wears normal clothes. He was very fun to hang around with unlike so many of todays teenagers who can't carry on a conversation with anyone let alone spell it. If parents judge their lives on how well their kids turn out, then my sister has truly been a success. I will definitely enjoy watching him mature into adulthood.
