Two short rants

[Links2k]

1. NRA emails - Recently it seems that for every email that I unsubscribe, I get another that's crazier than the previous email. Today it was the NRA Wine Club. JEEZ! :( please stop it

2. Those idiot public works employees on I240. Instead of putting out cones to divert traffic while they repair pot holes. These idiots stand on the side of the interstate three our four at a time with shovels of filler. The minute that there is a break in traffic they run out into the interstate, throw the filler into the hole and then make a mad dash back to the side of the road. This is something that I would expect to see in China, Ethiopia or South Korea. This drives me nuts every time that I see this crap.

Agreed on the NRA spam emails! I wonder how many people do not renew their membership because of it.

Today it was near the airport. I240 and Airways.

email filter.  block all emails with NRA in the subject.   Trust me, none are worth reading anyway.   Its a shame to have to do this, but a spammer is a spammer and garbage is garbage.

I simply called the NRA, gave them my  member number and asked to be removed from the print mail and email. Worked for me, no more mail.

[Raoul]

Well, as far as the cones on the road, think about it?

 

I spect the road crews has wised up a bit or maybe they're challenging you?

 

I don't know bout you but, when I took my cycle test and auto test they put them orange cones out and said, zig zag through em fast and don't hit em.

 

Putting them orange cones on the highway now-a-days prolly means to test yo skills and see if you've improved any with age and speed?

 

A challenge if you will, to get you off the cell phone?  :surrender:

From the time that I started this thread, I knew that one would be coming.

Those cones were fun when I took the motorcycle course some years ago. That course made me a better cage driver.

I get a funny feeling that you live about 50 miles from me....

Yep.

Mogadishu is in Somalia. ;)

 

I'm good either way :)

 

 the .458 SOCOM came about from informal discussion of members of the special operations community, specifically Task Force Ranger's experience that multiple shots were required to neutralize members of the opposing force in Mogadishu during Operation Gothic Serpent.

It was a joke, Linky. Ethiopia is a diverse place. It has nasty parts, and parts that ain't.

You should see the rolling roadblocks in Nashville dealing with potholes.

I know that it was a joke. It was the obvious joke. :). I almost said it myself. Edited February 23, 2013 by LINKS2K
