Things I saw on my drive today

I now have an hour drive to work, and therefore an hour drive home everyday. My route takes me through some interesting sections of the suburbs of Seattle.

Here are some of the things I saw today:

1. A bum holding a sign on the corner that read, "I will dance if you give me money." I threw him a nickel. He did a short jig. I hope I see this guy every morning.

2. A lady in a park walking 9 small dogs. They had all ran around her and tangled up. It was pretty good.

3. Some guy in the same park doing yoga in only a speedo. I am avoiding that park from now on.

4. Lots of construction. Speaking of which, I have a question. Is it a necessity that if you are going to hold the "slow/stop" sign you must look pissed off? Cause I saw 10 of the said individuals today, and each one looked like they wanted to kick my fender.

5. A squirrel.

6. The Burger King. He was driving by me in a Cadillac. No joke. I couldn't even make this stuff up.

7. I also think I saw that guy from the Adam Sandler movies. You know. This guy.

8. A lady with really really big hair. I mean, it consumed the interior of her car.

9. A Spokie on Interstate 90 with a sign that read, "Spokane or bust."

10. A guy fixing a flat tire. He didn't have AAA. That means he was capable of changing his own tire. He didn't need any help. Give him another man-card.

Epic Video: Auto Insurance

I came across a story today on the Silicon Valley Mercury News site (don't ask why I was on their site, the Internet is my kryptonite) that was about a lady in Boulder Creek, California who flipped her boss' Ferrari.

The damage to the flipped sports car was estimated at $125,000.

Alcohol was not involved in the crash, and the car was borrowed with permission. Oh, and the driver was a 23-year-old woman.

Wait wait wait! Stop right there. Why would a boss, who could afford a Ferrari, let his 23-year-old worker borrow it to go cruising? Hmmm....now that is a question I think needs answered.

I bet his insurance goes sky rocketing now.

Speaking of car insurance, I just paid mine for half the year. Yikes! And I have never been in an accident or gotten a ticket. Problem is, I'm 24-years-old, not married and male. Yep, that's it right there. Male. I didn't crash a sports car like the lady mentioned above, but thanks to statistics, I am more of a liability.

Those epic guys over at Barats & Bereta know what I'm taking about. Check out this video they made that explains the logic behind car insurance perfectly.
