ive witnessed a lady get hit j-walking downtown about two decades ago. some guy in a mustang (of all cars) was going maybe 25mph through the busy intersection, he had the right of way... when she got hit, she flew up into the air maybe 4-5ft and ended up hitting the guy's windshield with her head. lady held her head as she rolled off the hood, but appeared to only suffer minor external injuries. the guy was also holding his head confused wtf just happened. |

Uneventful drive into work today so I have nothing exciting to report on that end.
I did get to turn off a full three racks worth of servers, backup drives and other supporting equipment for an antiquated Heathcare system this morning! That's a rare occurance! The hospital in question has migrated off that system over six years ago! Have a great day all!

this am 2 geeezers almost hit my G coming to work. one could have caused a serious if not fatal accident if i didn't make a very evasive manuver to avoid. i wouldn't have died, but the geezer's passenger could have.
i was like wtf, it's not geezer hour yet, stay home at least until 9am. |

In states where they are so fiscally screwed up due to bad policies and politicians, they will ticket you for going 3 miles over the limit..
Due to the almighty dollar, the grace period of 5 miles an hour over is gone... Oh and Good morning to all you crazy Z Fanatics..

I lived near a retirement community and you could not walk through the Safeway parking lot without almost being killed by a Blue hair in a BIG Cadillac. I walked over to yell at a few once, and the look of surprise and lack of cognitive thinking in their eyes told me all I need to know.. Don't put them on your ignore list, because they will run you over...Blue hair alert....

they innocently dont understand they almost caused a very serious accident. they need to be tested annually for driving after reaching 65 (or earlier?). yes it's a pita for them but they're retired, have plenty of time. just get out of the way when we working folks are out and about trying to fix the damn economy they keep trying to suck money out of. |

I am retired at 50, now 52, and I get out of everyone's way, unless I am on the Track. I understand people need to get things done and make a buck, so I haven't forgotten what it is Like. Only the last statement I can't agree with. I have plenty of retirement money, but I will be damn sure to take my Social Security at 62, because it is my money. Sure by then, then will "means' test it so they can punish those of us who spent a lifetime saving and investing, just so they can give it to people that either never saved, or never put into the system at all. I will be punished for doing the right things. True it is one giant Ponzi scheme, but these people paid into the system and the economy is not their fault...It is the Voters fault.. But everything else, you are right on target.. P.S. I think we need to stay on Z stuff...I don't want to get banned and shunned from society any more than I already am....
