Live From The Field

Attention asshole:
If MDOT wanted traffic to merge to the right at Orchard Lake Road, they would have put cones, narrowing the roadway, at Orchard Lake Road. But, you see, they didn’t see a need to close the left lane that far west, so instead, they put the cones two miles further east.
Thank you for pointing out that there were sings for miles. I saw the signs. I see them every day. In fact, I’ve seen the signs so many times that I have memorized them. They say “Left Lane Ends. Merge Right Ahead.” … Ahead. In case you’re unclear of the meaning, Ahead is exactly the opposite of “RIGHT FUCKING NOW”.
Now, I understand how frustrating it can be, not moving on the expressway during rush hour after a long day of work. However, if you’d taken the time to look ahead at what was really going on, you’d see that the self-appointed-traffic-director (we’ll call him SATD) in front of me was doing such a good job that there were no cars in front of him, and therefore, no cars trying to squeeze in at the merge point.
So, if SATD was stopping traffic, and there were no cars squeezing at the merge point, then why was your lane not moving? Seems to me, it had nothing to do with the left lane traffic.

I generally take these things with a few grains of salt, but today I was suprised at how SPOT ON today’s astrological reading seemed to be:
Sometimes you are more comfortable in your own dreams when they don’t have words attached to them. Now, however, you are more likely to have detailed explanations that come from too many words. Your environment is intellectually noisier than you prefer. It will be easier if you remember that the noise arises from within you and not from out there, regardless of appearances.
PS – if you’re wondering why my posting has been, well, none lately … you might have noticed that my menu (which is normally on the right side of the page) has somehow made its way down to the bottom of the page below the blog.I haven’t had much of a chance to figure out what happened and why, but I’m somehow afraid that I’ll have to delete some posts .. therefore, I’ve been hesitant to post too much until I figure it out….Also, there’s this matter of intellectual noise I’m working with

What you can’t see in the picture below (because I just can’t seem to take good pics with my camera phone yet .. grr) is that the sign says “Celebrity Impersonators for Hire” and in the white strip, it says “Elvis & Marilyn”
Why did this strike me as post-worthy? Well, because this sign is posted in blue-collar, Michigan. And I find it amusing
