I'm getting really frustrated with this webpage host. First there is the fact that my links seem to randomely change colors; they are a different color almost every time I look at my sight, and I am not changing the template. Second, My post from yesterday got posted twice (I've since deleted one). I know this wasn't my fault since the first time it was posted was yesterday morning (true), then it got posted again at 5:05 PM (impossible, I left work at 4:25 PM and was on my way to take care of horses and I didn't get home until almost 2 hours later - see next paragraph). Thirdly, now publishing of posts is unavailable temporarily (how long is temporarily?)
What was it with other drivers yesterday? It normally takes me about 45 minutes to get home (or in this case the house where I am taking care of horses). Yesterday afternoon it took me 1 Hour and 10 Minutes! No, it wasn't snowing, sleeting, raining or anything - But people had to drive 10 or 15 mph under the speed limit for some reason. Oh and they made sure to hit the brakes for that curve coming up. I can't even blame this on out-of-staters; everyone had NH liscense plates. Since the roads I travel on are one lane (each way), and there aren't many passing zones (the ones that do exist are pretty short too), I couldn't even pass the jerks (OK, I got past one, but then shortly came upon another one). While I'm bitching, why do I seem to be the only person that will pass these turkeys when the chance does arise? One guy was riding his brakes while following a slow-mover - but when a passing zone came up would he pass - noooooo ! So of course the person behind him didn't pass either, which meant that I couldn't pass because my poor little 4-cylinder engine just won't produce the get-up-and-go needed to pass 3 cars in a short passing zone.
On a lighter note, it is supposed to get to about 50 degrees today. That means at least some of the snow/sleet/ice will melt. Oh, and at work the database is on hold while I try to find some old drawings and revise them so that we can get parts made and in by next week. Yeah, right, that's going to happen (the part about getting the parts next week). I don't think anyone realizes that other companies aren't just waiting breathlessly for us to order something from them and all their machines aren't sitting idle until we decide we need something. I have to stop reading Maddox's webpage before I write in my blog - I tend to be more sarcastic after I read his stuff.
