Random Thoughts from the Labor Day Weekend

1.) The Left Lane is for Passing - Key word there is the "passing" part. You're not going to get the best results passing when you're only going 2 mph faster than the semi that you're trying to pass.

It's even less effective when you move to the passing lane AND THEN SLOW DOWN so that you're only going 2 mpg faster than the semi that you're trying to pass.

Geez, people.

2.) Deer are F@CKING stupid - Dear deer: you do not graze on concrete or asphalt. So why the hell do you wander onto the median of a busy interstate highway?

I understand that maybe you want to avoid hunters getting eager for the upcoming hunting season, but seriously, getting hit by a car is NOT MUCH BETTER than getting shot. Either way, you're gonna be dead. And the other way wouldn't cause heart attacks in innocent interstate travelers just trying to get away.

3.) El Pollo Loco = Goodness - SO WHY DOES OREGON STILL NOT HAVE AN EL POLLO LOCO! DAMMIT!

4.) Sometimes I Just Miss the Sunshine - I mean, I understand the whole rain = green thing. Just looking at the natural landscape of Cali shows how much of a difference the rain and clouds make on the environment. Yeah, I know all that.

Still, sometimes basking in the sunlight on a nice summer day is worth the sunburn.

It's uplifting. I need that sometimes.

5.) Deer are Still F@cking Stupid

1. Passing is for lightweights who don't have the patience to wait three times longer for a truck that does 45 in a 60 zone.

2. Ever heard of deer steak?

3. No Loco in all of Oregon? You might wanna email them about that.

4. Sunshine makes more than sunburns. All last week I woke up claustrophobic from the unbearable, stuffy heat. This weekend it was so hot by noon that none of us moved. Whatever position we were in, that's where we were stuck til about 5pm.

5. Deer chops.
