A Rant.....

Everyone knows I live in the mountains...
 
Now i have a question/rant.....
Why is there a need to pass on a two-lane curvy road...??!!
 
I'm semi-old...but...I don't drive like a snail..
I drive according to weather conditions..if it's rainy, icey, snowy or foggy I drive a little slower than the speed limit.  If it's clear and beautiful I drive the speed limit or maybe a little faster depending on my mood...
Several times in the past few weeks there have been cars/trucks that have passed me like I'm standing still on roads that are double yellow and hilly with curves....!!
Is where you're going soooo important that you have to endanger your life and mine?  And in all the cases I've pulled up right behind you at the red light,,!!
What's your hurry???
Slow down enjoy life...what ever it is will still be there when you get there....

the View.....

One of the many reasons I love working for the state parks.
Can't beat the scene outside the windows.

Well.....the kid made it home and has been trying to readjust to Eastern Standard time.
Today he goes to the school board and signs up as a substitute teacher.

Spent Friday afternoon at the ER with CityBoy.....kidney stones are painful little buggers...but it past on Sunday morning and he's back to normal.

And me...?
I'm trying to develop some Holiday Spirit....
at least the cards have been printed....
not mailed, but, printed...
Maybe tomorrow.....hummmmm.....

Update....

The kid comes home tonight and wouldn't you know, tonight is going to be the coldest night of the season ...so far..!
 
The fires are all out and some were arson...!
 
Another Holiday is approaching and I have no spirit...the same as every year....Spirit will kick-in in about a week.
 
CityBoy has gone back to work and each week they are adding more hours and work. 
 
that's about it....things are quite around the Twelve Acre Wood...
hope they stay that way.....
