Happy it's Friday night

For a four day work week.. wow, it seemed like an eternity..There was a Monday & Tuesday, a day off Wednesday to enjoy friends for a bbq and some fun together in the afternoon. We were home at 6:30, and then just when the fireworks was getting started it was time for me to go to bed in order to be up at the normal time on Thursday of 3:30am in the morning.. So I'm not feeling like it was a holiday since it was cut short by the normal schedule. Thursday I don't even know how many times we were all feeling as if it was Monday all over again and in the mode of "doing" Monday things and then we catch ourselves or the other that "nope, it's actually Thursday".  Today was Friday and at dinner tonight with Shane at Islands, even Greg thought it was Saturday night (cuz he works from home most days) as he loses track of what day it is.  Enough said about that..


On another subject, I'd like a few words with the Red BMW driver who from the 710 fwy south towards the home on the 91 who shadowed me (going 75mph)... I know the speed limit is 65 but that's another subject altogether. But he rode my tail in the fast lane while I had people in front of me, and that is a pet peeve of mine that knucklehead drivers don't give enough space between cars for the speed we travel. So he's riding so close to my bike rack, I don't see his BMW emblem most of the time and I certainly couldn't hit my brakes or he'd have attached to the rack.. Now that wouldn't have worried me as it would have done his front end in with the metal rack inbedded.. but when I changed lanes to keep moving forward he did as well, if I changed lanes left or right he stuck to me like glue.. I couldn't shake the bastard. We make the transition to the 91 fwy and that is when he cuts around me, finally I thought, and then we hit a little traffic and he's now to the left of me and my lane opens up and he quickly is on my tail again shifting for a slight advantage of a few car lengths from where he was... holy cow dude, just chill out and ride along with the lane your in.  Traffic kind of breaks up and there is now a gap and he races off going pretty close to 90mph is my guess. Thankfully I lose sight of him and just mosey along in the the 3rd lane, and then as I reach my off ramp, I see him about 10 cars ahead of me as he had to progress over to the slow lane to exit at the SAME ramp of Bellflower blvd...  All that dangerous driving and speeds and he ends up at the same place at the same time I did... what an idiot..  So what did I do, I honked as I passed by him to turn right at Bellflower as he waited to make a left turn...  Baahaa, dufus..


Tonight, we went to dinner with Shane to Islands.  Had a nice time with him together. He and Greg have a Thursday night dinner tradition with the two of them, and so tonight we all went.  This afternoon following work, I started the lawn work by edging, but have given up on the lawnmowing myself as I've kind of developed a back pain that doesn't do well with stressing it over the last few months.  So Shane finished the lawnwork after he got home from his job and said I no longer need to do it (I kind of enjoy doing it)  but he realized he had let it go awhile.  As I've been scanning pictures lately, I came across my backyard when I had taken care of it by watering it everyday and it was green and lush.. since the boys started driving, Greg and rotation of cars in our long driveway was to use the grass as a turnaround.. hence the yard care took a less than important role in maintaining..  So now I'm on a mission to water it more often and bring it back to life now that Brians truck is no longer pounding over the grass.   My driveway flowerpots are doing well, and are thriving as they get watered once to twice a day and we've had a mild summer up till now, next week that is to change.


We're currently watching the documentary channel story about "murder by proxy: how america turned violent" and it's a start up about the postal service high volume of murders from the abusive management and then other business related murders where people "go postal" which is a term that was coined in the '70's' when the postal massacres started.  It is about 2 hours of instances of what daily abuse that was endured by employees will cause them to do in order for it to stop.. Some crazy workplace environments that are out there that people have to deal with that is more than just personality conflicts.


well, good night.. Here's to a relaxing and new beginnings days of rest or just re-invigorating..
