2:00 AM Saturday Morning

There's nothing good on TV.  7 hours from the NFL draft though which should be exciting.  My money is on the Lion's drafting the next NFL bust.  It's not the players fault, they're at the mercy of being drafted by the Lion's. 

The 2 Way Yield Sign

After many frustrating encounters with people who just don't understand how get through a 2 way yield sign I decided to be proactive and give a little refresher course.

Rule #1:  If you are approaching an intersection and intending to go straight or right, and there are no visible signs, keep driving.  Do not do any of the following

1. Act like it's a 4 way stop
2. Stare at me on the side walk with this stupid look on your face.  I'm not going to jump in front of your car or otherwise do anything to impeed your multi-ton vehicle with my 155 Lbl body.
3. Do anything other than go, just go

Rule #2:  If you are approaching and intersection and you see a yield sign then slow down and if there are cars coming treat it as a stop sign.  If not you may proceed with caution.  Do not

1. Act like it's 4 way stop
2. Run me down.  I have the right of way when you're at the yield sign and I am crossing the street in a perpendicular direction to the way in which your car is facing. 
3. Repeatedly stop and go 1 foot at a time making no progress yourself and impeeding the progress of others as they roll on the ground it fits of laughter.

And I'm not lying when I say this but you may proceed without coming to a full stop if there are no cars, pedestrians or other physical objects in front of your car.

Now lets combine the two.  Image there are streets where one way has no visible signs and the other way has yield signs.  Don't panic when you see these streets.  Instead follow the simple rules outlined above.  Panicing leads to one of the below. 

1. You stopping in the middle of the intersection and blocking all traffic
2. Treating it like a 4 way stop.  It is not a 4 way stop!!!!!!!!
3. Slamming on the brakes for no apparent reason
4. You coming to a complete stop and then stupidly looking at me on the sidewalk as if I can give you some advice and hand hold you through this tramatic experience.

The Late Night Alarm

Don't you hate it when you wake up before the alarm? Especially when you're dog tired and you notice that you have less than 10 minutes left.

What about when you hear the alarm go off in your bedroom and you realize that you haven't even gone to bed yet?

The best part is that I feel great right now. I'm on that insomnia high where your mind is peaking. Not because you're thinking on another greater level, but because you're mind racing at incredible speeds just to break even.

I know I should sleep, my brain needs it. But we're both in a state of complete agreeance where we've decided to trudge on through the day!!!

Who's Driving?

I have dogs and like most dogs they love car rides. When I start my "taking the dogs in the car" routine in the house, they know and they get excited. But not all places we take them are great. One of them doesn't particularly like the Vet.

I ofter wonder about the trip for their perspective ...

1. Do they care where they're going?
2. Who do they think makes the decision on where to go; Me or the Car?
3. Do doors open because I'm there or do I make the doors open.
