Life
After my near-death morning experience, I witnessed something rather evil on the drive home. See, there was an ambulance that came screaming up in the other lane. I pulled to the side, as did the car facing me, to let the ambulance squeal by. With no shoulder on either side to speak of, the ambulance was having a rough time. I was pretty much alone on my side of the road, but I saw that when the ambulance passed, the guy on the other side of the road got pinned by the four cars racing behind the ambulance. Talk about taking advantage of the situation. And that poor guy who actually did the right thing…totally screwed by his fellow Americans.
It’s not like it was a florist truck making one of those emergency anniversary flower delivery trucks. We all know how important flowers are, particularly if you’re a dude who tends to forget. Maybe that would be acceptable – I mean, latching onto the floral delivery vehicle and all. But an ambulance? There’s no gift of love in the backseat. There’s probably just some dude who got a little aggressive with the chainsaw and has the fingers of one hand crossed with the fingers of the other hand in a cup of ice.
Speaking of anniversaries, mine is coming up. Think I should go with flowers? Or maybe there’s something cool I can get delivered in an ambulance. Time for a search engine…

I usually work at home. I usually only go to the office once a week. I usually, therefore, don’t have to deal with commuter traffic with anything like regularity. Nevertheless, I experience seriously odd-ass things all the time. This morning was no exception. A guy in big Jeep Grand Cherokee was cruising about 65 miles an hour on a road with no shoulder. I was two cars behind.
All was going well until, quite randomly, the Jeep dude slammed on his brakes and pulled to the side. Now, saying he pulled to the side is pretty generous because well over half of his car was still in the lane. Seriously.
Yup, in about 100 feet of asphalt he went from 65 to parked with no blinker, no hazards, and no indication. Now some people are on their way to drug rehab treatment centers…and maybe they aren’t spot on in their decision making, but during rush hour?
Sheesh. There’s nothing like a 7am near-death from a crash experience to really brighten your day.

I’ve gotten some feedback through some other avenues and the response is GREAT! Have you checked it out yet? We made it loud so you don’t even need to crank your speakers for a real testosterone booster! Thrill to the sites and sounds of Skateboard Heroes, the super new Web-comic that will drop any day now. Be among the first to taste the lovely. For reals.
No spoilers here, but some hints: witty kids, rad skateboards, tricks, kickin’ tunes, masked villains and a dude with a massive robotic claw. Bit by bit, page by page, the story will unfold. At the risk of sounding a little cocky, it will be the best thing you ever see. Ever. Hands down.

Is that reference too obscure? If you shout back “Perplexed!” your New German Cinema chops are most impressive. If you start humming “My Son” you have a real problem.
Actually, I bring up the ol’ circus tentage, it’s because the wife is getting very excited about the baby’s upcoming second birthday. It would seem we’ve selected a circus theme…and response has been pretty positive. The brothers are particularly excited. And the suggestion of face painting and photo booths…yeah, they’ll go nuts.
Not sure how you nail a personalized birthday gift with a circus theme, but we’ll come up with something.
And one other thing I have to say…
CLOWNS!!!
