11 February 2008 - Idiots Travel in Packs and other weekend observations
This weekend, I made an observation. Idiots travel in packs. This doesn't mean in organized groups necessarily. Here is what I noticed.
I went to the grocery store on Saturday (HyVee) to pickup a few items for the rest of the weekend. As I was trying to park, I passed not one, not two, but three different vehicles going the wrong way down the aisle of the parking lot. And these were NOT all going together, these were all separate vehicles about 30 ot 40 meters apart. I had to stop for one to get out of the aisle. I had to squeeze to get over for the second. And I pulled into my spot to avoid the third. Now, to their defense, the direction of the parking lot is only noticeable by the angle of the vehicles parked AND by the 4 foot wide arrow painted in reflective yellow paint.
Now, it is possible that these folks were all connected. The spacing/timing of them made me doubt it. But, I could be wrong.
Next time you are out, take a look around. See if you notice for yourself that idiots travel in packs.
Oh, and if you don't notice this.....you might want to be concerned. As for me, I will be going to Las Vegas in ten days and Los Angeles in two weeks. I figure I will be able to site plenty more examples when I get back.
--------------------
Did you watch the Pro Bowl yesterday? See all those crazy commercials?
Yeah, me neither. I checked, the NFC won.
You excited about the NBA All Star Weekend?
Yeah, me neither.
At least we have NCAA hoops to look forward to. And for those who like making a lot of left turns, NASCAR gets underway this weekend.

Ok, Ok...my political comments.
Obama sweeps. Don't you just want to shed a tear for Hillary. Oh, wait, she will work on that herself.
By the way, she canned her campaign manager. Well, the reports are that she resigned. Yeah, and the reports were that Warren Harding died of natural causes.
And on the other side, Huckabee won in Kansas and Louisiana. Make your own Kansas jokes if you choose. But as far as Louisiana goes, remember that this is the state that has New Orleans, where the re-elected Ray Nagin.
Nothing against Governor Huckabee, but why does he go on. Continuing to do so may have him ending up being the butt of jokes reserved for Ron Paul. And trust me on this, Ron Paul deserves to be the butt of as many jokes as possible.
Speaking of the Ron Paul campaign, he is cutting back. Tears were shed in the basements of many mother's homes. Don't worry, those tears were wiped up with cloth from Mr. Spock and Klingon uniforms.
