Aggressive common sense, politics and whatever else - as I see it.

You remember the Boston Mooninite Bomb Scare? Seems like a lot of people do as the pictures show. I’m sure that Everyone in Boston is not really Stupid, not withstanding the mass media hysteria anyway. If you don’t recall the details, see how it all started here.

There are a few things any travel should have, among them are a GLOCK, an iPod, cell phone, and of course - extra memory cards for your camera (film if your old school.)
The Toaster,

Teresa poses with her USB Toaster! It toast 4 slices in only 30 minutes. Now she will never be with out toast.
I guess I was mistaken when I thought the most ridiculous marketing idea was the pet rock or the hybrid car. Oh yes, never be without toast again! Carry a loaf of bread and this USB powered toaster in you laptop bag and you to can be eating toast while doing import work or surfing porn sites.
Silver Dollar Hail,

A comparison photo of a hail stone from Wichita, Kansas in April 2006.
In stunning examples of stupidity, ignorance, and selfishness people driving on Kellogg (US 54) make sudden stops under overpasses as the unexpected storm started to drop hail. The blocking of traffic on a 60MPH interstate in low visibility caused several accidents.
With four lanes of traffic being blocked in front of me my frustration grew exponentially, not because of the damage to my car, just because I wanted to get around the idiots and continue on my way. Unlike the other drivers I had things to do, most of which were more important than a few dents on my car.
If you live in Wichita or anywhere in Kansas you have no right to be surprised when there is hail, a thunderstorm, a tornado or any sudden change in the weather. And you definitely have no right to stop in the middle of a freaking interstate blocking everyone else and causing serious accidents because you don’t want your most likely heavily insured Lexus or crappy Nissan Altima damaged by the storm.
One of the many reasons I have never liked living in Wichita, or Kansas for that matter - The weather is, at best wild and unpredictable and at worst, who knows. When lousy, dangerous and mostly unpredictable weather is coupled with ignorant and inconsiderate people you have a truly bad situation.

Another picture I found on Flickr. I would say I do not have the time do something like this. Truth be told though it is patience I lack. Time I could muster up if I needed to.
Money as art.
Fake Coroner Can’t Park.,

Sometimes it just feels good to be the one that keeps someone from getting away with it.
One year ago today I had the pleasure of placing a boot (Vehicle Immobilizer) on this van. The driver worked for a mortuary service that bought out the company I used to run. He also lived in the apartments. After several complaints I finally found the vehicle parked in an obvious no parking zone, right next to the sign in fact.
About 8 hours later I received several calls filled with screams and threats of legal action or having the Sheriff come visit me. Eventually, I received the final call asking that I come remove the boot and they would pay the fee. Click on the picure for the full size version and please share it with everyone.
Stewie and Meg,

“Oh yes, you can be the dumpy teenage girl who cries backstage because no one finds her attractive.”
I am not a photographer, but I play one on Flickr. For a mere fifty cents I tried to purchase this bobble-head miniature Stewie from a vending machine. It ended up being one dollar because I got Meg on the first try. I suppose that’s OK because now the cynical baby bent on world domination has someone other than me to ridicule and torment.
