Got Milk?


Shopping around at Target to get some chips, I went into Valentines Day section. There was an empty endcap yet to be stocked. I notice something on one of the middle shelves. I looked in to see a carton of milk. Why is it sitting there? Because someone decided that they did not want it and was to lazy to walk it back 20 feet to the refrigerator. To the lazy customer, C'mon man.

Train v. Car


Driving around the suburbs of Richmond, I come to an intersection with a railroad crossing in it. Waiting my turn to make a right turn, I read a sign below the yield sign. It reads "Do not stop on tracks". Behold my eyes the car in front of me, stopped on the tracks. What if a train was coming and that car was there, who would win? To the driver of the SUV, C'mon man.

2007 All Over Again??


The Huguenot Bridge practically spans over two counties of Virginia. The bridge spans the James River of central Virginia. The bridge was completed in 1950 and today it has ha some major problems. Every time I drive across it, I wander to myself "Is this the day that the bridge will collapse from underneath me?" Finally VDOT decided to give up on fixing the bridge and just build a new one. To VDOT, C'mon man.

Snow? I think not

Its winter break for many colleges but the local schools are back in session. Well in the Commonwealth of Virginia the winter months mean the chance of snow. Virginia doesn't know how to really handle snow. Earlier this week, there was a large amount of talk over a possible winter storm for Virginia. This is the same storm that brought ice and snow to Dixie Alley. Well, we got some snow and sleet but it turned to rain. The big problem was that the many school systems jumped the gun and closed schools and it a snow day occurred for rain. After the record amount of snow last year, I thought that the state would have learned to deal with a threat but apparently not. To the school systems in central Virginia, C'mon man.

F$#@%^* Sharkface


On a portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-476), there is a toll plaza near Norristown, PA. On the crash barrels there is a sticker. It is a wake up call just because of the wording of the sticker. It's a naughty word. To the Pennsylvania Department of Transplantation, c'mon man for not taking it off. To the idiot who put it on there, c'mon man.

Respect the Ambers


We all travel on the highways. It doesn't matter which state you are in, its all the same. The dangers of all the highway are there as well. Police, emergency personal, and DOT workers face dangers of traffic. People have been hit by passing cars and killed. On many highways, cars and trucks travel 70+ mph, recklessly weave and tailgate. It is a terrible thing to hear of a person being killed doing their job because a driver could care less. C'mon man, respect the ambers.

Smoking is more dangerous than you think.


Traveling up 95 towards Washington. I'm sitting up front looking at the south bound lanes and how grid locked they were. It looked awful to be in. Then I notice some smoke rising in the distance behind a bridge. I thought it was exhaust from a truck or car. Once we get around the bridge there was a brush fire. It was fairly large. What made it worst was that the no one really noticed the fire. Cars were driving past with no problem or hesitation. To top it off, we see the fire department coming to put the fire out. Well, they were trying to get to the fire. Like I said the highway was grid locked so the fire department struggled to move through the traffic. The cars would not move over for the fire truck. There is a fire. Move over for an emergency vehicle. I don't care if it delays you. Don't delay them! C'mom man.
