The Road Rage Files – Chapter 22

Location – Stopped at the traffic light in the right-hand lane eastbound on Biscayne Drive (SW 288TH St.) at Speedway Boulevard (SW 137TH Ave.) right at the northern city limits of Homestead. (This is one of the most dangerous intersections in the Homestead area.)

Scenario – This car driven by an apparent female with dark sunglasses on while talking on a cell phone approaches my car from the rear, and decides that she can’t wait for the light to turn green so that I can proceed through the intersection on my way back to the base. She proceeds to pull in to the empty middle lane, and then make a right-hand turn into Homestead (without stopping no doubt) while missing hitting the front of my car by less than a foot. A couple of seconds later the light turned green, and I proceeded forward.

My Thoughts – This is a lady with no patience who was obviously in a hurry to get somewhere in Homestead real fast with no regard at all to common courtesy, safety, or the law. If she continues to drive like that then she will probably become a sad statistic.

Bedtime Stories

It’s Thursday night. It’s 8:30 PM. I can’t think of a better time than now to post my ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight – brought to you by Boston Market.

Today at Lunch time I took my car for a much-needed bubble bath at Busy Bee Car Wash up in Perrine. I’ve been going to that place for the past 4 cars and 19 years. They always do a good job cleaning it all up for me.

After that I went over to The Living Word Christian Bookstore in Cutler Bay. I spent a good half-hour there browsing around the whole store, and I bought a few items as well.

Lunch was next, and I ate at the Boston Market at the corner of Useless-One and Quail Roost Drive. They are very unorganized there as far as ordering, paying for, and receiving your food, but the utter chaos became a memory once I sunk in to that delicious food !

Well that’s how I spent my Lunch hour two-hours today.

Tomorrow on the blog I’ve got your ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. That’s where I ping some of my favourite blog entries of this past week.

Until then remember this:

Bedtime Stories

It’s time for the Wednesday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Cheez Whiz.

Loyal and observant fans of this blog noticed that for the first time in nearly 2 weeks there was no ‘Bedtime Stories’ posted last night. The reason ?  It’s quite simple. I couldn’t think of anything relevant to write last night – so I posted a fresh new edition of ‘The Chris Day Club’ instead. It contributed to the biggest Wednesday on this blog (as far as views are concerned) since the middle of January !  (In case you’re wondering I didn’t actually have that telephone conversation with Chris Day, but if I did then it may have gone a little something like that.)

You may have seen or heard this in the news. 69-year-old Dawn Wells – ‘Mary Ann’ from ‘Gilligan’s Island‘ – was recently busted for marijuana possession up in Idaho after being pulled over for erratic driving. ‘Mary Ann’ was hangin’ out with ‘Mary Jane’. Read all about it.

After Janet Jackson had to pull out of ‘Saturday Night Live‘ this week due to the flu they came up with a HUGE replacement for her – Mariah Carey – who makes her first appearance on the show since the mid-1990s. Read all about it.

Well that’s your celebrity entertainment news for today, and your ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight. May you have a safe and peaceful Wednesday night at home. Be sure to catch this blog again tomorrow afternoon for a SHOCKING ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ that you just won’t believe !  The banana that you ate earlier today could be eating away at your flesh tonight !

Until we clear that one up for you remember this:

U.S.A. National Gas Temperature Map

Gas prices here in Homestead are currently at all-time record highs – generally from the mid-$3.30s to the high-$3.40s. You can complain all you want, but you should also keep in mind that some of the cheapest gas in the world can be found right here in the U.S. All of our European friends are paying more than double and nearly triple what we pay for the same amount of gas. Comparatively gas is a bargain down under in Australia. In Sydney the equivalent of a gallon of gas costs only about U.S. $5.15.

Click here for a cool colour-coded map of our country that shows how much gas costs per gallon (on average) in each county (updated daily).

Are you looking for cheap gas ?  Look no further than a large swath of eastern Wyoming and the New Jersey side of the New York City metro area for gas that hasn’t quite reached $3.00 per gallon (yet).

The ‘expensive’ gas – over $3.53 per gallon – can be found throughout much of California.
