Cars

I saw Speed Racer driving on 101S today. His car seems to have held up well, though it has been painted green. Unfortunately Speed himself is quite a lot older than he once was. He looked to be in his 60s, and sadly was driving in the slow lane. (Really. This car was just exactly the Speed Racer car in all its real world ridiculousness.)

Speaking of things getting old: One of my coworkers can't use his car alarm. More accurately, he knows how it works, but he can't do things in the right order. In the space of 3 hours he got into his car 5 times and all 5 times the alarm went off. For some reason he opens the door, the alarm goes off, he panics, then turns off the alarm. He gets what he was looking for, then shuts the door and arms the alarm. Next time he goes to the car, same thing. 3 times = Funny. 4 times = Are you serious? 5 times = ok, stop now. Luckily he doesn't usually have his car at work, as we are always driving the company vans. His broke down earlier this week, although at this point I'm suspicious that he was trying to drive first and start the car second. Operator error? We may never know.

Completely unrelated to cars, I stopped at a burger place for lunch. They had a chicken sandwich which included lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and ranck dressing. Anyone who knows me well, knows I don't ever catch spelling mistakes. But I caught this one, and to tell you the truth, was a little offended. Ranch dressing is the best dressing ever, and calling it rank even by accident is just atrocious. Humph!
