bad drivers

As promised in my last blog, here are the lessons I've learned- all from the B's.

Bigotry- Still alive and well in June, 2006. It's disturbing to me that people still hate each other because they have more melanin in their skin. While I was in visiting relatives, they mentioned that a black couple had moved in down the street. I knew instantly that no good would come of this story. Just think about it. Why is that something that warrants a mention?? In my ideal world, that should be such a non-event that nobody even brings it up. Sure enough, the neighborhood set about finding a confederate flag so that the old, white guy across the street from them could hang it on his flag pole. Niiiiiice. I'm willing to lay down ten bucks that says they were afraid the black people would lower their property value. Somehow, I don't think they thought about how much lower it went with a confederate flag hanging out there. And one of the people who thought it was a riot has a grandbaby that is half-black. It makes me physically ill that my kids will know bigoted assholes like this. These kind of people were supposed to drink themselves to death on homemade moonshine a long time ago.

My confession: I love animals. My sister is a huge animal activist who actually rescues animals from dangerous situations. She rehabilitates injured strays too. She’s had every pet you can think of, from snakes to bats to squirrels. Anyway, I did something really bad, and I am exposing myself for who I really am to my blogger friends.

I was driving to work one night and there wasn’t any street lights. When Suddenly, I felt my SUV go THUD! I knew I hit something. I figured it was probably a parked object because my driving record isn’t that great. I have never been in a “real� accident, but I have hit about 15 garbage cans, 10 mailboxes, 3 Curbs and went over a median at a doctors office. I go through tires like James Champion goes through a bucket of Hot Wings.
