Say what you mean...

Hey, Florida department of digital highway signs, some things. First, when you mean "it is," there's an apostrophe (') between the t and the s. And if you can't do that with your digital sign, then spell out "it is" instead of writing "its" because that is wrong. Second, you wrote, "wipers on headlights on its the law" - well, I think I know what you mean, that it's the law to turn on your headlights when you turn on your wipers because of rain, but technically you wrote that it's the law to have both my headlights and wipers on, period. I.e., all the time. Which isn't the case. You should have written something like, "lights on when raining" or "headlights on when wipers on" (although that's technically not correct either, since according to that I'd have to turn my headlights on when washing the windshield). So, as I often tell my kids, say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Also, it might be better to have advice like "slower traffic keep right" or "keep right except to pass" or "don't keep your bright lights on when another car is in front of you" (that minivan following us with its brights on for several miles could have used that advice this evening).

Congrats to Alabama and Spanish Fort on their football victories this weekend, and too bad, South Alabama; you probably should have won, too, but probably doesn't carry any points, unfortunately. As for me, I think I ate too much and slept too little. So, g'night, all!

It's a little bit funny...

this feeling inside, I'm not one of those who can, usually hide. I don't like the Cowboys, but, for this one night, I'm going to be pulling for them, but it's alright.

You see, in the NFC East, Washington is 4-3, Philly is 4-3, Dallas is 1-4, and NYG are 4-2. If the Giants lose, then Washington will be in a 3-way tie for first in the East, and has the benefit of being 2-0 in the division (Philly and Dallas are both 0-1, NYG are 0-0). So, yes, for this evening, I, a Redskins fan, am pulling for the Cowboys.
