Bad Day

All right, when you're driving a car and trying to not overheat it, you have to do this thing at redlights where you turn your engine off. When the light turns green, you start it up again. Once in a while you may have trouble starting the car up, and on that occasion, a honk may be necessary for people not in the know of what you're doing. Understandably, because you could be one of those millions of idiots who do their meditating while waiting at redlights. But five honks by each car behind and them angrily driving around you and yelling stuff is just stupid. Like people are out there purposely stalling their cars at traffic lights. That new phenomenom that's sweeping the nation.

The same phenomenom that plagues our gas stations when you're trying to drive a car but keeping it from overheating, you pull into a gas station so you can fill the car up with water to cool it down and the car in front of you pulls up to the pump all stupid so you can't go forward and then you have to stop and reverse a little and go another direction and the asshole behind you honks his horn for a few seconds and when you get around that first car, the honker gases his truck and swerves around you. Then you drive your car up to the water pump and pop your hood and it's all steaming heavily and the honker guy in the truck tries to not make eye contact with you.

It was a long an arduous journey, but we made it to the shop and saw the torn hose that caused all these problems. There was another whole ordeal with AAA that was stupid as well and made us avoid them altogether. I have no money until tomorrow, but I do have gift certificates to Hometown Buffet and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Too bad I don't have one for the grocery store. I do, however, have a cold 24 oz. beer waiting for me at home.

Which reminds me, I was thinking about living in Colorado. Denver area. I read an article a while back about all their microbreweries and how you could go to a local pub and have a huge array of local brews on tap. That would be awesome. A new beer every night. Plus breweries usually have samplers that you can order.

Next paycheck goes to a new Minidisc player.
