I know that Chris is a big fan of his PocketPC. I wonder if he has tried out Pocket Blog yet? It looks really cool, and it works with the Blogger API. I wonder if there is a Palm version out there somewhere? Because not all of us have PocketPCs, unfortunately…
Ok, this one is really, really simple people. When the line on the road inbetween the lanes goes from dashed (denoting that it is acceptible to change lanes) to solid, DO NOT change lanes! It’s a solid line for a reason!
There is an intersection I come through every morning on my way to work. Travelling West on FM 1960, the road splits – 3 lanes get to go into and underpass, below 249. The other 3 lanes stay at ground level and can turn on to 249 (North or South) or they can go straight like I do and turn in to our office building. This is all good & well – until idiots decide to ignore the solid white line. There thought process must go something like, “Oops, I’m in the center lane and I need to turn left up ahead. I’ll just go ahead and get over now. Gee, why is that line solid? Oh, whatever. I’m going anyways.” Even more amusing is mornings like today where two people do it at the same time, not using their turn signals of course, and almost hit each other! Yes, I just sit back and laugh at them.
Rules of the road. They are simple. You learned them when you were 16, how about using them now? And don’t cross the solid white line!
I was going to blog it last night after Michele wrote to me about it, but it didn’t seem to flow right with the post about Jason’s birthday – so if you have missed it before today, stumble on over to Raising Hell, which puts a whole new twist on parenting. As Michele said, “Raising Hell is a parenting blog, but it’s not. It’s all the stuff parenting magazines don’t cover. It’s the stuff that makes parenting fun. It’s embarassing stories and fart jokes and birthday parties from hell.”
Oh yeah… the truth about parenting, and some of my mommy stories might just end up there. Michele said to just send them on to her. Keep an eye out for them – once I find some time…

April 22nd to 28th is TV Turnoff Week. The purpose of the campaign is to leave your screens blank and “consider who’s been shaping the way they think.” Don’t they realize that this is the first week that a new Friends or ER is on NBC? I mean, come on! Actually, thanks to the Tivo, I don’t watch many commercials at all – I watch TV my way. Oh, wait … isn’t that an ad in itself?
