Recently, I was driving along and the car in front of me suddenly slammed on their brakes as a hand extended out the driver&#8217;s side window.   After a slight hesitation, the hand extended a finger and pointed to the right, over the top of the car.  They then proceeded to make a right turn. <\/p>\n<p>There is a slight possiblity that their turn signals didn&#8217;t work &#8211; however, the brake lights were fine and the car seemed to be in good condition.  It&#8217;s a little more likely that the person was simply a dork.<\/p>\n<p>2.  Yesterday, also while in a car, I saw a man mowing a lawn in a t-shirt and pajama bottoms.  How do I know that they weren&#8217;t just light-weight sweats?   Because I have a pair just like them.    Very strange.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; don&#8217;t be fooled by subways new &#8220;garlic bread&#8221;.   Being a fan of bread in general and especially of garlic bread &#8211; I thought I&#8217;d give it a go with maybe a meatball sub.   Ah, but no.  &#8220;It&#8217;s not garlic bread, &#8221; my sandwich artist tells me, but meerly a spread that can be added to the exisiting breads.     Taken aback, I quickly changed my order to the very bland standard.  If it had just been garlic butter, I might have gone for it, but the consistancy was all wrong and I avoided it.     As the sandwich moved through the process, I had a difficult time convincing the artists to not put extra stuff on.   I finally had to tell them &#8220;extra plain&#8221; &#8211; which got a slight laugh and let me move on with my life.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been fairly quiet here at work today.   One of my colleages&#8217; last day here is next wednesday, so we&#8217;ve been trying to get stuff organized. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to a quiet weekend  &#8211; maybe even doing a little hiking if the crowds aren&#8217;t bad.   Almost makes me hope for rain since I&#8217;ll walk in the rain and not many other people will.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess that&#8217;s it for now.
