A couple more things

Delta/Northwest airlines suck. A nationwide high speed rail system like Europe would be a nice alternative, since the airlines and airports can't get their shit together. A $1500 dollar trip should NOT get fucked up in both directions.

I think I am finally at the age now where I don't need to sneak and figure out what presents I am going to get. I have been sneaking around for many years now(Sean and Erik, you are welcome for the year I got busted by Mom and Dad), but the last few years I have liked not knowing what I am getting. Part of this may be due to the fact that I already know what Miller is getting and I am excited for him.

Bah-Humbug vs. Chrimmus Spirit
So I am on my way to pick up Biscuit-head(Miller) today and I witness some jack-hole driver pulling some fast and furious bullshit with his/her jacked up work truck. This douche decided he/she would be cool and pass a car using the left hand turn lanes at a busy intersection, and barely make it back to the road before he/she hit the median.(I am using both he/she because the windows were tinted and I believe that judgement on shitty driving should not be sexist). For some reason this made my blood boil. I drive by this intersection every day and I know the number of school children and buses that use this intersection, and this shitfuck could have easily taken out a good number of people if the timing was right. Luckily for him/her today wasn't the day. As luck would have it, I was able to pull up alongside the vehicle before I turned into daycare and call the number on the side of the truck. This is the message I leave--"Just calling to let you know that the driver of the jacked up red truck drives like a fucking asshole. I hope that when he gets in an accident he doesn't take anyone with him. Merry Christmas."

Well as I am picking up Biscuit Head at Daycare I get a phone call and a message from that number. It was basically a lady with a quivering voice that said she appreciated the info on the driver but my language was completely unnecessary. That made me feel bad since it sounded like she was about ready to cry, and I thought maybe her kids had heard the message out loud, and they would start saying fuck instead of truck.(like someone else I know). Not only that but Santa is watching.

I called and left a message apologizing, saying that my language was unacceptable, that I was just caught up in the moment and I was very frustrated. Happy Holidays, blah, blah, blah.

She calls back and says that she was thankful for the apology and that it made her feel much better about the situation. She said that her drivers need to realize that the trucks are moving billboards for their company. I said Merry Chrimmus, and that was that.

I wouldn't have apologized normally, but since Santa is watching, and I have already had my truck spray painted once this year, I figured it was best.

Two things

Tonight I played two songs at full speed by memory on guitar.

Metallica-Fade to Black-Rythm Part

AC/DC-You Shook Me All Night Long-Lead and Solo.

Now, if there was only a band that wanted to tour the world on those two songs I would be set.

In other news, Miller has butt rash so bad he walks with stiff legs like he has a stick up his butt. Since Monday morning, he has dropped 7 dueces. That is usually my quota for a week and a half. I guess thats what happens when you eat too much good food on vacation.
