The Obsession Continues...

So I'm teaching in Long Beach for the next two weeks and went today to set up the classroom - and on the way home - this time on the 405 - there was a sign indicating the amount of time it should take to get to JW Airport - 12 minutes.  I, of course, had to time it - and I did get there in 12 minutes - but again, I was speeding most of the way.

So as I'm speeding down the freeway - cruising in the fast lane - this little white Sentra comes whizzing by me.  I watch for a bit as he weaves in and out of traffic through the slow lanes.  I lose track of him and then a few minutes later - here he comes again - whizzing by me in the slow lanes.  He passed me FOUR times!  Apparently - all the weaving in and out of traffic without using his signal wasn't really working out for him.  Just goes to show that slow (relatively speaking) and steady wins the race!

One other thing I had to comment on - last week, some friends of mine went to see Madonna and asked me to stop in and check on their dog.  Well, I get to the house - walk in and I can't believe it.  Click here to see what I saw - unacceptable!  I'm so traumatized - that's all I can write tonight!

I think that CalTrans counts on us speeding when they post the times! Christmas decorations already? Maybe they are still up from lat year - one year when I was working at Cinnabon and had a CRAZY travel schedule our tree was up through Valentines Day - horrifying!
