Fast Food Brunch

I'm scarfing down brunch this morning... mid-morning actually, and why it's called brunch... when a woman comes in asking for the manager. Evidently, she had stopped by early a week ago and noone was available at the drive-thru to take her order. Early, as in 5:45am, and this being a 24-hr fast food joint. I understand the inconvenience, but since it's during what I deem an ungodly hour for a Saturday and the restaurant is likely short-handed, the staff needs to take a break at some point. Alas, if I were the customer I may have complained as well.

Word of advice for this woman tho', is to refrain from ranting about how important it was that she has that breakfast. My bet is that those breakfasts are why she is probably 100 pounds overweight. Maybe that's what the restaurant employee was thinking and thought she'd do her a favor?

Cellphone Law

I still see it all around me. It has been almost a year since CA began enforcing a law restricting handheld cellular phone usage while driving. The "texting" loophole was later closed. So how the hell is a cop to enforce this law? My guess is that they don't. Just today I witnessed a young gal glancing down at her lap repeatedly while at a stoplight. Another, older woman, was blatantly yakking away with the phone up against her left ear, the one facing out the window for the world to see (but perhaps invisible to law enforcement). I had to pass a vehicle yesterday that was going questionably slow, only to find a woman carrying on an animated conversation on her phone. Sure, people will hedge their bets against getting caught... no different than breaking other traffic laws I suppose, but this one's harder to detect and probably why they do it.

I am no fan of phones, which leaves me with a feeling of being left out on (figuratively) giving a finger to the Man. I now make up for that by proceeding through red lights when clear, perform rolling stops, speeding, and sex when I can get it.

It's Friday!

And I am home. It's my day off without pay. The wind is blowing outside but is sunny, and expected to hit 70 degrees today. Couldn't ask for a better number in the final days of Spring as summer arrives in just over two weeks.

I think I'll check out the matinee.
