With my previous position at my employer I had to drive around Chicago a lot. I didn’’t mind it at all, I love my truck and I like to drive. The driving has put about 22,000 miles on my truck to date, since about November 2006. I have seen a lot wonderful, weird, cool thing, and you know what I have determined? Driving through Chicago and Chicago land is like a really good roller coaster; if you follow all safety guidelines, you may live another day to experience it again.

The trip home today was just like most every day. Stop and go traffic until Cumberland then a mad dash to Route 53 where it backs up a little bit again. It is just like a roller coaster; slow, slow , slow, hit the peak, fast, fast, fast, and starts over once again until you get to your destination. There are some kinks in the plan though, sometimes there are collisions. These folks are the Hall of Famers of the amusement park of Life. For the most part, these are cool to check out. The best way to handles these situations to not think about the people involved, just the cars, then it becomes cool.

A s I stated before I see a ton of things while driving. Some things I see is just completely obvious to everyone around, others are well, not. I have a problem with looking into cars and at drivers of other cars while driving. I’m curious as to what’s going on, so why shouldn’t I check them out? It’s like a social experiment, how someone drives and with whom with tells you a lot about them. I like to think so at least. Like if you have a chick driving a big truck type vehicle, usually a male type of vehicle, with a guy in the passenger seat, the guy is usually whipped. You can obviously see who wears the pants in that relationship. This also goes for any guy who drives a Lexsus SUV. Those things are terrible and ugly. One would find them amongst the rich elite of the north shore suburbs of Chicago.

So, today there was a guy on 90 west bound riding a crotch rocket. This guy was wearing a damn polo tucked into some sort of dress pants with athletic shoes. Now I know you are asking why I know this, traffic was slow and I was paying exceptionally good attention to what was going on. This guy really bothered me, I wanted to bump him. I didn’t, but that makes me think about how I want to door check people. I think it would be awesome to roll up on someone and knock them off their bike, or jog, or scooter with my door. I drive a truck, it would be totally easy. My door is high enough to shove them off with minor or no damage to me! It would make the time spent on the road much more interesting. Often I race the Dynamic Message Systems I like to see if I can beat it. Usually I do. :)

**Note**

There are 2 new sections to the website on the left.

1. Under the pictures heading there is a hall of fame page which has pictures of cool things.
2. There is now a jewManFoo’’s boycotted business list, it only has 2 but is open to additions and is building. Companies piss me off sometimes.
3. I am always open to suggestions for the website, just use the contact page.
