Hello, Sir? Are You In There?

This afternoon, I was driving north on one of the busiest two-way streets near my neighborhood. There's a ton of construction going on right now which doesn't help things any. To say that the area is a mess is the understatement of the century.

I found myself fully immersed in the typically hectic traffic conditions and construction on this particular road this afternoon. In fact, I was stopped at a red light, looking around at all of the changes – new buildings going in, old businesses going out – and trying to make sure that I wasn’t blocking the entrance or exit to any parking lots when I saw it coming towards me.

A man in his mid-fifties steered his Chrysler Sebring to a stop in the turn lane. In order to see if he could make the turn or not across the traffic and into a parking lot – he had to peer around the “For Sale By Owner” sign taped to his windshield.

That’s right – not only did he have a FSBO sign in the window, but he had a jumbo sign – the kind you’d put in front of a house – and it was taped to the front window of an automobile which he was trying to drive in traffic on an extremely busy road that happens to be under construction at rush hour.

Makes you wonder why some people even get issued a license, doesn’t it?

For exciting news tomorrow, be sure you head on over to Beth’s (No, she’s not telling you the name of the baby, when it’s due or any of that jazz. In fact, it’s not baby related at all.)

Heh. Maybe he was test driving the car and was considering buying it.

It seems like there is no shortage of stupid people in any city. You think he would go ahead and remove the sign for driving, because seriously who would be able to read it in the FRONT window anyways?


Good job on Beth's site, I like it a lot!

Emily (n.) 1983 - Present

A loud-laughing twenty-something female who prefers flip flops to all other shoes, yet has a closet full that go unworn. Can often be found in front of a computer screen designing websites or playing "The Sims". Hates messes, cancelled plans and loud volumes. Loves suffocating summer heat, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (now with banana) and friends who know what you’re going to say before you ever open your mouth.

Warning: often speaks too quickly; listen carefully.
