Lights Lit or Ticket – That’s The Law.
During inclement weather 25%, one out four drivers fails to turn their headlights on. State law is very clear; wipers on, headlights on. I think it should be amended that if the vehicle is running the headlights must be on. ‘Turn your headlights on and buckle up for safety’ would work nicely as a commercial or billboard.
I really don’t know why but many people buy white, silver, gray and light blue cars. If you haven’t noticed by now when those color cars are approaching at just the ‘wrong’ angle against a cloudy overcast background and moving along grayed asphalt you cannot always see them, especially without their headlights on. Many times I’ve brought this up and people shrug it off by saying, “my lights go on automatically,’ not realizing that those are running lights and the back lights do not come on. Driving at highway speed during a rainstorm, the heavy mist created by your tires covering the back of your horizon matching gray vehicle, makes you nearly invisible to the person behind you. If your lights are out you are completely invisible, and if you must stop quickly… Continue Reading
Ten Paces – Them’s Fighting Words!
Back in the 60’s and 70’s fights ended with clear a winner and a loser. Some times when both got some sense beat into them, fights would end in a draw. Physical injuries only amounted to scrapes, bruises, and maybe a black eye. Mental injuries never escalated to anything more than, “I’m telling my Mommy!” Today there’s been a treasure’s trove of wounds like puncture, slash, gunshot, decapitation and other appendages being detached from the body added to the list of injuries sustained in fights.
No longer does a fight end with a winner and loser because the first loser comes back, shoots the first winner who then becomes the second loser, the first loser aka the shooter is the second winner for the millisecond as the bullet travels towards the first winner’s chest who dies and becomes the dead second loser, and then the first loser, shooter, millisecond second winner becomes the third loser, leaving a dead loser and a death row double loser.
Trading words and punches no longer is enough, when someone was packing – it meant your arms were loaded, muscles. Today’s fights start and end with no winner, only two losers and I think the dead one is probably better off.
So now Moms medicine cabinet needs to be much larger in order to store all the first response emergency supplies Mom might need to save one or both losers.
Looking back to when I was a child… Continue Reading
What’s Big Orange And Sleeps Six? Timber!
Bridges need repair or replacement, roads need repaving and potholes need filling, litter needs poking, and grass needs mowing, but the boss needs firewood.
If you haven’t taken a ride on our highways and state roads in the last few weeks you may be surprised to see our roadsides are bald. What use to be an green soothing drive now feels like tumbleweeds will roll by any minute.
Too many state maintenance supervisors, the ones driving the orange pickups, lack the abilities to control men or projects in their districts. Don’t blame the men and women on the highways and byways doing what they are told. They know not what they do, they don’t get paid to think and unfortunately those ‘not paid to think’ laborers are the ones promoted to the orange pickups and obliviously unable to pick up new tricks… Continue Reading
I’ll Follow You
Stop and Shop says open til midnight every night except Sundays. I’ve found it’s better for me and my high anxiety to shop when just those stocking the shelves and me are the only fools blocking the aisles. Tonight there was one other person.
Today I felt like my bio-rhythms were off. You know grandma pulls in front of you and doesn’t turn off her signal until she makes a turn in the opposite direction. You sit at a stop sign waiting for it to turn green, or you lock your keys in your truck.
If that’s not enough… Continue Reading
Three Generations, Three Delegates
Last night’s activities left me so exhausted I had forgotten a milestone for my family, if not one for the history books.
Three generations of Way’s on their cities Democratic Town Committee may have happened a time or two, but I don’t think three generations of one family have ever, in the same year, been delegates for Democrats running for the US Senate, US House, and State Senate. If it has happened before I’m sure the list is short.
Saturday May 12th I… Continue Reading
Send ‘Two Sub Joe’ Courtney back to Washington
Tonight was Connecticut’s 2nd congressional district convention to nominate Joe Courtney. In the last two years he has done 500% more for his constituents than any ‘No compromise’ Tea Party Republican who was elected under false pretence did for theirs. He actually did more for Republicans than Republicans.
Joe had three Democrats and one Republican second his nomination for a fourth term in the US House of Representatives. I wish I could have remembered all the stories of the fights Joe fought and won for us, and the bi-partisan bills he pushed through this do nothing 112th Congress but the fact is I have the memory of a flea.
