Seriously, all I wanted to do was make a nice trip to the parents. Is it too much to ask?

Well apparently to the three UMES girls returning to school it was.

_How do I know they were UMES (Univ. of MD Eastern Shore) girls?_ The Md State Trooper told me.

_Why did he tell me?_ We were discussing if I should make a citizens’ arrest.

\*Why would I be making a citizen’s arrest? \*Because I had to call the State Troopers because the driver of the Toyota Camry had been road raging on me for 35 miles.

_Why was she road raging on me?_ Because I dared to try to pass her outside of Easton on RT 50 in MD. She took umbrage and made it her habit to get in front of me and block me in traffic for the next 35 miles. After awhile, concerned I was dealing with a drunk, I jumped on the phone and called ahead to the MSP Barracks in Salisbury. I was listening on my scanners as troopers set up ahead of me and waited. When we got close I lit up my strobes and the police moved in for the stop.

In the end the trooper said he had enough to get her for reckless driving without my help, so I left my phone # just in case and drove away.

Honestly if you have an issue and want to play road dick, you’ve got about a minute or two before it’s time to move on. After that people, like me, begin to wonder if they have a serious issue like DWI and a cell phone is going to get used.

Anyway I’m there safe & sound, and it’s late. Good night.

There is hope for the future. Researchers at MIT are working on hyposprays. They deserve ALL of the grant money for this work.

Off to irk. Yay Firday!

Good morning! Thanks to Puppenstein, I’m up early again, altho \*\*FCD \*\*did deal with her at 3AM so there’s that. He’s still snoozing and I got up to feed her and do my morning stuff - like cleaning the cat box and caffeinating. 😃

We’re promised a gray, drizzly, then rainy day. No idea what the plans are, beyond installing the shade in the kitchen window. I think I may just finish touching up our kitchen paint job - I got some red paint on the white trim, so I’ll arm myself with a small artist’s brush and have at it. I may even do something with the baseboard in the bathroom - it’s got a few spots that need to be touched up. Good times.

Speaking of good times - any reports of rampant debauchery and mayhem in Gatlinburg?? :eek:

😃

Happy Saturday!!

Steroids and I are not happy bedfellows. Doesn’t matter if it’s a traditional shot, pils, and I’m sure a spray version would be the same. Taiko drummers in my head and I feel like I swallowed Bobcat Goldthwait as I just get a heap of manic energy that I can’t guide into useful purposes.

The good thing is that I have already seen an improvement in hand strength, but the upper arm pain still rages on. For that, we’re doing another injection at the next level down. Oh.Yay.

Good Morning!

Happy Belated Birthday **flytrap**!

**mr ems** had to go to work today. His alarm went off at 4.21 and I amusing he thought he hit snooze but I rolled over at 4.45 and he was still there so I had to shove him til he woke up (and complained loudly!). Which means I was awake also.

So I have watched a couple of shows I had DVR’d, made coffee got a load of jeans I washed last night into the dryer and trying to figure out what else needs to be done. I need to clean the kitchen but that seems a bit ambitious at 6.40 in the morning.

Happy Saturday!

I put an ad on Craigslist for my mom - she’s trying to sell the purple carpeting plus pad that was in one of her bedrooms. She got a response, asked me to take the ad down, then got this:

All she wants to do is get rid of 12x14 purple carpeting for $50. So I reposted her ad with CASH ONLY in the body. Moron.

The cats are playing _Sneak Up On Sister_. Aquariums are made of glass and full of water. They don’t provide very good cover.

We set out a while ago to get \*\*FCD \*\*some new shoes. After going into one shoe store, he decided he wasn’t in the mood, so we came home. But we had a ride in the drizzle, so there’s that. 😃
