Driving down the road, out of the blue a very large crack appears in the windshield. I try to look left, I try to look right, either way, that damned crack was still in my vision.
.
Can you even put words into an explanation for this???

Crack in the windshield
Sooooo,
Driving down the road, out of the blue a very large crack appears in the windshield. I try to look left, I try to look right, either way, that damned crack was still in my vision.

Gnats Ass
As quoted by Lady Ridesalot A.K.A. Glider Rider on Thursday Feb. 19th, in her Too close for comfort post..."He just missed hitting the front of my car by a gnat's ass!"
This reminded me of all of the different things we say for terms of measurement.
Just how big of a distance is a gnats ass anyway?
Maybe it's only about 6".
Maybe It's about 1 foot.
Maybe even a foot and a half
Or two feet even!
Nah, I think it's closer measured in.....

Crazier than riding twisties on a motorcycle...

Looking winter in the eye and laughing at it, because crying won't get me riding any sooner.
As a trucker stops for a red light, a blond catches up. She jumps out
of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door.
.
The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and
you are losing some of your load."
.
The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.
.
When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again.
She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door.
.
Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the
blond says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some
of your load!"
.
Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the
street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again.
.
All out of breath, the blond gets out of her car, runs up, knocks
on the truck door. The trucker rolls d own the window. Again she
says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"
.
When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next
light.
.
When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and
runs back to the blond. He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says........"Hi, My name is Mark, it's winter in Minnesota and I'm driving the
SALT TRUCK!"
of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door.

Thought provoking.
I'm not sure if every thing here is fact, but some is, and if nothing else, it is very thought provoking.
How many zeros in a billion?
The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of it's releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently askingCongress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
to rebuild New Orleans Interesting number...
what does it mean?
A.
Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get$516,528.
B.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C.
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.

Coincidence??? Did "Sam Crow" inspire the name "SAMCRO"?
For those of you who don't watch the television show Son's of Anarchy, here is an explanation of the word SAMCRO. It is an acronym for Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original. This is what they refer to their Motorcycle Club as.
I'm just starting to read the second book in a series of "Prey" novels by John Sandford. The series is fantastic, and has gotten great praise from critics, and readers alike.
The second book is Shadow Prey. I'm just getting started. Then I read this here, and was struck with the question if the writers from the new hit television show Son's of Anarchy ever read the novels, and if they put a play on words, or if this is merely a coincidence.
I've blown this page up into bigger pictures below, so don't try to strain your eyes to read this one.
Things that make you go Hmmm?
