- Some days there just isn’t enough coffee.
- Apparently wet weather brings out the stupid in Louisville drivers.
- When I woke up this morning, I had precisely two fillings in my teeth. Tonight, I have four. Yeah, it’s been one of those days.
- It must be a bad fiscal year in Louisville. I saw 7 police officers giving tickets on my way to work, and an additional 5 on the way home.
- I’ve rarely felt as loved as I did tonight while helping Irish Woman clean the meat off of a turkey. I looked up and every quadruped in the house was watching every move I made.
- Apparently Irish Woman had a long day of animals being vocal about how much they loved her and the turkey she was roasting.
- Checked Girlie Bear’s grades tonight. All A’s and B’s. So far so good.
- By this point in his freshman year, with Junior taking the same courses with a lot of the same teachers, I had had the “This world needs ditch diggers too” talk with him and had gotten several calls at home about his performance, so yeah, I’m happy with how Girlie Bear is doing.
- Girlie Bear appears to be enjoying the rifle team. She announced tonight that she had almost gotten a bullseye at practice tonight, but she knew why she didn’t.
- Nothing matches the fear you get when your four-year-old announces that he just made use of the bathroom in your basement, when you do not, in fact, have a bathroom in your basement.
- Luckily, he meant that he had washed his hands in the sink next to the washing machine.

It’s not just Louisville.
Sometimes, here in Albuquerque, it will be literally months between rains. What this means, at the ground level, is that there are several months of built up dust (we have lots of dust) mixed with motor oil drippings on the roads. Which, when exposed to rain, and in the time before there’s enough rain to actually cause it to run off, creates a truly slick layer of road surface.
So, of course, every time it rains, most people slow down 5 mph and actually do the speed limit, and at least one guy will decide that the rain gives him superpowers, which let him do 50% over the speed limit, and weave in and out of traffic like he’s Mika Hakkinen.
This often ends poorly.

/ September 19, 2012I experienced the same thing in Arizona. I once watched two brand new Pontiacs flip end over end in a rather hilly and curvy section of I-10 near Tucson when they didn’t change their driving method during a rainstorm.
