Be Gone Car Balls!

Ladies and Gentleman, we are one step closer, ONE STEP CLOSER to freeing ourselves of these retched call balls! Let the state of Florida lead the way in this revolution!
From The Corner:
From Florida Capital News:
The Florida Senate on Thursday passed an amendment to impose a $60 fine on Truck Nutz, [...]


Tally Up

So New Year’s come and past. Did you spot anyone on the road that shouldn’t have been there? Like permaybehaps someone drunk?!
Did you call them in?
I sure hope so. I honestly didn’t spot anyone, and made sure I kept my speed at the limit knowing that its NYE and really the only reason to up [...]


Drunk Drivers

I took a road trip by myself to Arkansas back in October. The drive was fine, but there was something I noticed. Once I hit New Mexico or Texas, hell I don’t remember they all look the same at 3am in the morning, I noticed neat little signs that kinda warmed my heart:
Report Drunk Drivers [...]


Carpool

Recently I got nailed for driving in carpool when I wasn’t suppose to. Now mind you, I’ve been driving the carpool lane for over a year before anyone caught me. But how I got caught was stupid and could have been easily avoided.
There I was cruising down 580 minding my own business until I saw [...]


Big Foot

When I drive, I don’t use much of my foot. I rest my toes on the end of the accelerator. I find that using my big toe allows a certain finesse to accelerating that could not be achieved while using my whole foot. But when I look down (at a stop sign of course) [...]


Here Comes the Rain Again

Cars are shinier, roads are slicker, and the IQ of every ass hat driver drops by half.
Tell me California natives, what is it about precipitation that falls from the sky that freaks you out? It took me an hour to get to work today when normally it takes me 20 minutes.
20 minutes. Today, an hour.
There [...]


Recent Oil Spills

2 oil spills in less than 3 weeks.
58,000 gallons in the San Francisco Bay Area
Over 500,000 gallons in the Black Sea Strait
Just typing those sentences makes me scared. And it’s making me very skeptic.
These events… are….
COME ON! Two spills in less than three weeks?! Oil companies have to be in on it. They totally could [...]


Sad cold season.

Oh how sad I am. Windsurfing season has been long done with. But each day I drive by the Berkeley Marina and I look over to see if there are any brave souls in their 4/3’s or thicker braving the chilly winds.
I might have to take up off season surfing. Find me a thicker wetsuit, [...]


My, that was a long road trip.

What do I recommend for long road trips?
Audio books!
Lots and lots of audio books. Because when you’re trucking 90MPH between El Paso and Austin (the posted limit is 80MPH, btw) at 2am in the morning, you aren’t going to find your favorite NPR station.
I picked up The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and it [...]


Now for a little nostalgia.

I forgot how good I had it back in Arkansas. How’s that you say? I had a Drive-In theater. Oh how I miss those days, my dad would prepare by Windexing the windshield windows, grab all the blankets we could find, and make a run for the EZ Mart before heading into the theater.
Perhaps it [...]
