Driving in the Rain

May 12th, 2008

It’s amazing to me how many washington drivers will drive in the rain without turning on their headlights. I kinda feel like if you need to turn on your windshield wippers you really need to have your lights on too. Especially on the roads when you’re traveling fast enough to kick up a lot of spray the headlights make it much easier to spot the other cars on the road.

Of course it doesn’t help that there are a ton of cars on the road without working lights. I’ve seen so many cars with one headlight out. Or if thier headlights work its not uncommon to see people with broken brake lights. Break lights aren’t so useful when 2 of 3 lights are broken. It’s times like when I see people driving cars like this that makes me think hawaii has it right where they make you get a saftey inspection for your car every 2 years. It would stop people from driving around indefinetly with broken lights and broken god knows what else. We should have to waste the man hours of the cops with them pulling people over for broken lights. They have better things to do.

Driving To Work

March 6th, 2008

So i’m driving to work this morning on the beltway. Far up ahead of me I see this black and white thing being towed by a truck. At first I assumed it was a boat being transported on the beltway since they are a pretty common occurrence. However as i get closer I realize that it can’t be a boat cause its too skinny and top portion is the same width as the bottom. I keep watching this thing as i get closer to the back of it.

Finally when i’m within a half dozen car lengths I realize what i’ve been looking at was the rear end of a giant cow. This cow was at least as tall as the semi’s next to it. At this point i had a good laugh since i’d been staring at a cow’s ass for the last few miles as i tried to figure out what it was. I guess Turkey Hill has some promotional cow complete with a turkey hill ice cream tub in front that they move around the country. It gave me a good laugh especially after fighting traffic on the first part of my drive. It always amazes me some of the things i’ve seen being transported while driving to work.

So this is why I hate my drive. Thank god I was able to leave early and avoid this mess or else I’d be looking into a hotel for the night or bothering a friend for a place to crash. Right now its pretty funny since i’m already at home and can look at it and laugh.
