Lane Merges Left – 100 ft

Posted on by

Some time ago, I was driving in the left lane of a two-lane road headed home after work (so obviously, this was quite awhile ago).  Moving at about 80 KM/hour, I was already thinking about the things I wanted to do when I got home when I noticed that the car next to me in the right lane was a little more than a car length behind me and the right lane was merging left in about 100 ft.  Naturally, I expected the guy (yes it was a man, not the crazy lady from the car insurance commercial!) to just change lanes in behind me since we were both going about the same speed.

Imagine my surprise when ding-dong decides to speed up and try to get in front of me.  Well, by this time there was not enough time or space for him to get in front of me but he tried anyway.  I maintained my speed, neither speeding up or slowing down and, obviously, he ended up braking hard and merging behind me when his lane ended.  So what do you think this person did?  He blows his horn at me as if I was supposed to put my brakes on and let him pass and merge in front of me.  I just put my hand up and waved politely which I’m sure made him blow a gasket but at that point I didn’t care what he thought.

What kind of an ignoramus thinks that I should have slammed my brakes on to let his royal a** in front of me?  He’s the kind of person who will squeeze past an elderly person to get through the door first and then let’s it slam closed behind him.  Or the type who squeezes into the Express lane with 30 items in his cart and gives everyone around him dirty looks as if it’s his right to be there.

I’ll admit that, yes, it’s been probably two years since this incident but every once in awhile I remember it, smile to myself,  and wonder how badly it hurt his ego to have to brake hard and slide his car BEHIND mine…..

Oh well, have a Merry Christmas buddy, wherever you are….

Upgrading as it should be!

This morning I undertook the task of updating my WordPress version from 2.6 to 2.8.6.  It was with much trepidation I deleted various folders, downloaded the install files, and uploaded to my web host the latest and greatest.  I also made the first backup of my SQL database….ever…..which of course is something I should do a bit more often!

The Best Thing About Christmas is…

Posted on by

We bought and decorated our Christmas Tree on Friday and as always, it turned into a pretty chaotic time.  Kids running around trying to put all their decorations onto the tree in a square about 12″ x 12″.  My youngest running around removing them all.  Dogs sniffing and wondering what the commotion is about.  Lily trying to maintain some kind of order to the decorating and me just moving around looking busy.

After the tree was pretty much decorated and most of the others had moved on to other things, my son and I were alone in the room and he said to me “Dad, do you know what I like most about Christmas?”  I thought about that and considered what his answer would be. 

1.  “I really love getting together with the family and sharing the holidays with them”

2.  “It’s such a nice tradition when we put up the tree and decorate it and the rest of the house”

4.  “Give me the presents”

It was then that I remembered he’s five.  So I said “I don’t know Eli, what is your favorite part of Christmas?”  And of course, he said “I love the presents.”

My sister seems to have inherited my father’s eye for photography.  She travels around the world snapping photos as she goes and she takes some really fabulous pictures.  Since I don’t seem to have that photographer’s eye, I thought I’d borrow some of her images and put them into a calendar or a photo book.

Organic and Natural Food

For the last couple of years, we have been purchasing organic and natural foods from The Clean Food Connection which is an organic and natural foods grocery store based in Mount Albert, Ontario but with stores in Uxbridge and Newmarket Ontario also.  The owner’s name is Bob Burrows and he is a great guy who is quite passionate about the service his store provides.  We have had many discussions about the food and agriculture business and I can only admire his dedication in the tough and competitive business of selling food.

The Clean Food Connection sells organic and natural fruit, vegetables, and meats from three brick and mortar locations as well as the website.  One of the biggest pluses about buying from Bob and his friendly staff is that The Clean Food Connection will deliver to the Greater Toronto Area and even as far north as Barrie and out to Oakville and East of the GTA as well!  Similar to another online grocer, Bob’s customers login to the website, browse the electronic aisles, make their selections and then check out.  Bob and his faithful delivery truck then show up at the customers door with bags and boxes of organic and natural foods.

Dare I Do Windows 7?

Posted on by

My computer is back from its second trip to the vendor for repair and it has been stable for almost a week.  Wondering now how much longer I should wait before I think about installing Windows 7.

Ten years ago I would have immediately began upgrading to the new OS but nowadays, I don’t have the time to mess around with the computer for hours on end trying to make everything work just so!  And even though I have heard many good things, I am still positive that an upgrade to Windows 7 won’t go as planned….there will be something that does not pass muster.

The working sans prescription viagra time of Kamagra jelly is 4 to 6 hours even sometimes more. In order to stop this we need to bring in softer measures lowest prices viagra of companies success.

Morgan Freeman and Prom Night in Mississippi

Japanese Internment During WW II

Posted on by

I just finished writing an assignment for my writing class that included an interview with my Dad. I asked him a bunch of questions about his memories of the Japanese internment in BC during WW II, and as a bonus, I learned a bunch about my family history!  It turned out to be more interesting than I hoped and I enjoyed learning about my Dad’s family since I didn’t know very much about them.

After I finished the assignment I realized that I had generated more notes than I could use for the assignment.  I’m considering now writing a family history so that my kids will know who came before them and where all the different relatives fit into our family tree.  Instead of writing it as one big “biography”, my wife suggested that I write it as a series of stories that can be put together so that if it’s read as a collection of short stories, the reader gets a sense of the family history without the long read of a single story.

We will probably work on this during our “spare” time and will include stories from both sides of the family.  A bonus to writing it like this is that we can write one short story after another but not necessarily chronologically.  I can write about something in my life and then go all the way back to my Grandmother and then jump to my wife’s sister all without having to fit it all together into one big story.  I think it will end up more interesting both to read and to write!

Issues in a Connected World

Posted on by

A few weeks ago, we had a problem with a piece of technology that required us to contact the customer support of a company which shall remain nameless.  The call required us to send back the item to be investigated and repaired by the vendor. 

Since the item was within warranty, we were supposed to receive a pre-paid box in which the item was to be placed and returned via courier.  After a week of waiting, the pre-paid box had failed to appear and there was no followup from the vendor so my wife took it upon herself to follow-up.  The following are the statistics for her attempt.

Number of calls placed:  1
Number of minutes: 138
Number of transfers:  19
Number of countries involved:  4

This world we live in has gotten much bigger and at the same time much smaller.  My world is no longer just my city or my country; I can surf the Internet and read information from around the globe minutes after it is was written.  At the same time, the world is so much smaller since an organization with a global reach can bounce customers around the world in real-time.  But even with this global reach, it doesn’t seem that customer service has gotten any better, just cheaper for those providing the “service”……

October 26, 2009 – Thought I’d mention that the box we received to send the item back to the vendor for repair was TOO SMALL!!!  We had to repackage the item into a box we already had around the house.

A long silence is broken

Posted on by

I’ve been out of contact for a few weeks now.  It is amazing to me how busy I can be when I’m not working full time.  Even though I am not getting up at the crack of dawn to go to work for five days out of seven, I now feel like I am going 100 miles an hour for seven days a week!

Taking care of the kids takes a lot of my time but there are also a million small projects to take care of around the house, I’ve volunteered a little of my time and expertise to the Church down the road a bit, and I’m also working on my coursework for the professional writing course I’m taking.  Between all that I don’t seem to have much “spare” time for anything….

I wonder what I will do once I start working again?

Are male enhancement reviews hype? Various levitra generika probe brands do scam. You should try this buy bulk viagra ensure intake of zinc rich foods to revitalize the reproductive organs. Hundreds of thousands of men around the world suffer from terrible problem of tadalafil buy cheap hair loss. A test was conducted to find out the most effective electronic unit that is sale of sildenafil tablets immensely useful in the treatment of disorders at this level. As an aside, there is something that has been bothering me for a long while and I need to get it off my chest.  The city I live in has a rule that nobody is allowed to take pictures at the city run wading pools.  I have an issue with that because I do not have a pool and most of my friends do not have pools.  My kids are growing up quickly and I would like to have a couple of pictures of them enjoying themselves in the water.  If the city and it’s citizens are afraid of somebody taking pictures of other people’s kids and photoshopping them into something rude and illegal, I seriously think that they are targeting the wrong people. 

If there is a single man with no kids running around taking pictures of other people’s children, then fine, ask that guy to leave.  If you see a father taking pictures of his own kids while they mug for the camera leave him alone.
