Wow--I Was Lucky!

Aug 22, 2005 10:11

I spent last week in Greenville and Dallas--the usual projects. I tried a new motel this time--half the price of the Best Western but advertising all the amenities. I understood where they cut prices as I was toweling off after taking a shower; the towels were so rough that they felt like dry pumice. And I never could get their Internet connection ( Read more... )

Whoa, man. That's freaky, good thing you're still here - you still need to get 60. :P

I guess you must be living a good life. Now you know to be grateful to Rowlett!

Hee hee! I was sitting on the "Welcome to Rowlett" sign most of that time. I feel...grateful...

You got guts girl to scream stuff like that back to Pro-Bush losers. I guess living in SA has made me less brazen, even though i have plenty of martial arts skills. I've seen too many of these losers get out of their stupid pick up truck with a baseball bat and start wailing on person who confronts them or person's car.

yes, my husband carries a baseball bat and drives a nice shiny pick-up truck. but he's not been anywhere SA in the past several years. He has had to get out of the car carrying the bat or just raise the bat to eye level to get some stupid idiot with road rage (or who HAS to be in his lane right then) to go away. he's never used it.... I hope he never does.

As for me, I just don't make eye contact with the offender...hope they just go away.

Now you know why the rest of us anti-Bush supporters in Dallas are hiding... we don't want to live through what you went through, but on a daily basis. Here, I'd be afraid to put any bumper sticker on my car unless I could defend myself.

elf just carries around a baseball bat, but no bumper sticker. here you also have to worry about the idiots who carry a gun and like to take random shots on the highway - doesn't happen that often, but it does happen.

Bad to hear about the car, but it could have been worse (other than driving into a concrete barricade on 635... you could have been stuck on I-35 south of Dallas. not the kind of place to have your car break down... been there, done that - luckily I found a good samaritan to help out with a busted radiator hose at 10 pm at night many many years ago. After he fixed it, I bought him a tank of gas and drove away from there as fast as I could... never want to get broke down at Red Oak again...

Glad you made it home in one piece. Sounds like a close call with the O'Reilly show, er with the car.

Ok, the geek in me still wants to close the thread "who was the last person to check your suspension?" Most cars don't almost flip over and get turned into pantomimed fireballs....

And I'm happy to learn from the comments how effective baseball bats can be. Might have to get one to strap on the back of the bike that says "Stay Back - I'm asking you nicely", after a clueless driver tried to split a lane with me this weekend.
