Wednesday's Digressions

• Was behind a lady in a black Suburban nearly all the way home yesterday and I just nearly called 911 on her as she was all over the road I noticed after she nearly clipped me while I waited in a turn lane in town. Her speed would vary from 45-75 mph in a 55 mph zone. Drunk or hitting the crack pipe after dropping her kids off at dance class or whatever? No, she was on the cell phone- she was behind me tailgating me all the way in early this morning and driving just as badly.


• While chatting just as merrily and obliviously on her pink phone.


• Saw a woman beside a delivery truck parked at a local convenience store take a puff off a smoke and then do about the only thing grosser I can think of- with the cigarette in her mouth she hooked her index finger around the filter and buried it in her nose up to the first knuckle and began digging for green gold.


• Keep it classy baby.


• Recently at a store three guys including myself busted each other ogling some smoking hot scantily dressed woman and then got a good laugh at ourselves and each other.


• They never would have had a chance.


• Ha


• Met the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life recently- nothing to it just met her but, yeah can't think of a more beautiful woman I've ever seen in my whole life. It's cool although she no longer lives here she was born and raised just 30 miles from where I live.


• Recently offered condolences to a friend whose marriage has ended. He said something like,"Oh well, it was a long time coming- I'm glad it's over." That was kind of sad to hear but, undoubtedly just simple truth. His teenage daughter looked like the weight of the world had been removed from her shoulders. I've known them for a few years and only in the midst of the divorce news did I learn she had been married either 4 or 5 times.
• Nearly bought a boomerang this morning (something I've promised myself to learn) but, went with a Frisbee instead.
• Since I can no longer play softball or tennis and couldn't even kid myself about football I guess Frisbee is the only sport besides bicycling I've carried all my life into adulthood.
• Good God, I've been doing both over 40 years.
• I was in a positively buoyant mood when I started this post- now look at what you've done to me.
