In the interest of picking up slack, I thought I’d just jot down some of the random stuff that has happened lately.

1. A few weeks ago I saw a vehicle with a vanity plate reading “BDSM.” The young lady driving was rather comely, but did not seem to be wearing any leather accoutrements.

2. More recently I was walking around my neighborhood. One portion of the walk was along a busy 5-lane street. As I was walking, I noticed that about a fifth of a mile or so ahead was one of those Bobcat loaders heading toward me down the sidewalk—fast! I started thinking about getting way out of the way, when it ran over a sign and swerved back into the street where it smacked up against a truck. At that point I noticed it was actually on a trailer, and I realized the truck had been towing it and was trying to catch it. Luckily, there wasn’t any traffic right at that moment, so they managed to nudge it to the side of the road and stop it.

3. Yesterday I conducted a mental survey of the people who were driving like idiots during my commute to work (excluding myself, of course). I noticed they all had something in common (no, it was a John Kerry bumper sticker; that was only on half of the cars). They were all talking on cell phones. At least they weren’t reading the newspaper—yes, I’ve seen that happen several times on the interstate at 70+ mph. At that, I still think the average level of driving ability is better here than in Nashville. Heh.

Now how’s that for some high-quality blogging?
