I don’t care what color the light is you yield to an 18 wheeler! (and since it is a run-on accident, I am not correcting my run-on sentence.)
This test of physics (ie. 2 objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time) occurred at the intersection of Northshore Drive and Morrell Road at roughly 1:00pm today.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life , 2commentsMy taxes have electronically drifted off to the IRS. This is an incredible relief! See, the last time I filed taxes as April 15, 1999. Most people don’t know how to respond to a statement like that. Typically the jaw drops and the subject changes quickly. I also had an IRS agent come a hair short of calling me a moron.
Obviously there is a backstory but I have to consider the movie rights before revealing the whole plot. I can say it has some classic themes that the Coen brothers would really enjoy.
I just feel a little more human being a good citizen again. Now that 2005 is filed I can go back and start fixing the other years.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : News, Of Interest , add a commentA bit of news made the rounds not long ago. Texas was arresting drunks in bars (you know, fish in a barrel). They assumed these drunks would try to get behind the wheel of a car (guilty until proven innocent - doesn’t imply I want drunks on the road). After much ridicule and public protest, "Operation Last Call" has been "temporarily suspended."
