"rain rain go away, come back another day"
everyone has heard it in their childhood, schoolhood or just any ole hood where rain may be present at some time either now or in the past/future regardless of the fact that the space-time continuum could have a bearing upon this and everything else on the planetary sphere especially concerning the time nature of the concept.....whoa, i'm way off track, sorry.
anyway, vader is not complaining about the water from heaven in general. he actually likes it sometimes since it makes weeding especially easy (i unfortunately do have some sonofabitching weeds that just wont die!) it sucks for baseball and other outdoor, field-based sports (other than the games of real men...never cancelled unless a volcano, tornado, tsunami, or hurriscan of some sort...i think we would still play though in an earthquake since it is outdoors and the ground is just moving...those games being football and lacrosse.
Back to the rain...again vader is not complaining about rain or other forms of precipitation such as snow but rather...the INDIVIDUAL first drop and its subsequest effects upon the loony tunes in this area.
anyone that drives to work sees the effect...ONE, JUST ONE drop and gridlock...who the hell are these losers that slow down causing a ripple in the traffic that propogates slowly but surely along the whole length of autos progressively slowing down to nearly freeze the last cars in place...why does this freakin happen? torrential downpour...OK most losers pull off anyway and the real drivers proceed on. two rain drops...gridlock of unexplainable cause.
these non-precipitator drivers should be given an automatic ticket once they drop BELOW the speed limit. better yet, a large electro-magnet should hang down from several locations to just pick a slowly moving car right off the road and send to the local junk yard for smashing...then you'll see those slow-pokes move fast as they dive out of their cars. there are other non-deadly solutions that us engineers could come up with if so requested...
mine would be easy...install two RPG's in the frontal area of your car with a switch that allows you to activate it once your car is moving less than the minimum speed...everyone, including me would have to keep their speed up or be blown-off the highway...vader likes that one alot, plus i like rockets in general anyway. it could be argued though that this is not non-lethal.
Drive away folks, think about the lessons and thoughts from m4s the next time it rains and we not have to wish for the "rain rain go way thingie"

Have a PB & J. You will feel better.
Ah the early morning thunderstorm ... God's most *awesome* alarm clock!!! 4, M4S ... “I love the thunder … I love the rain …” (Jackson, Jackson Browne … Running on Empty)… & When “It’s Raining Men, Hallelujah” (Geri Halliwell) those weeds (even ‘the sonofabitching weeds that just won’t die!’ w/ the God4sakenrootsfromhere2there&backagain … come out of the ground like ‘butter’ (Linda Richman aka Mike Myers, SNL’s Coffee Talk). By any chance, R these the same guys that R in that book, R they the “Real Men (who) Don’t Eat Quiche” (Bruce Feirstein); but what R the games U R referencing? Ah I see, no matter what, “The Show Must Go On” (Queen), yes?
Hmmm... first, I am not sure I want 2 know what a girly-man driver is … secondly, so now driving w/ caution, means that I am a "LOSER" (3 Doors Down); & thirdly, some vehicles, such as my own, an SUV, R just high enough off the ground, the wheel base just narrow enough, & the “Center of Gravity”(YO LA TENGO) just so … that even w/ spanking brand new tires … driving around aggressive, ah hmmm people, even if the roads R (only) wet, can cause even the most experienced SUV driver 2 hydro plane or worse … now let that individual *drop* or 2 or more start & then let it rain “Cats & Dogs” (Garageband)… & vehicles like mine, driven safely & prudently…. Well, we *losers* need only 2 worry about the distraction of those incoming RPG’s :=)….
So? Did I stay on topic??????

PS In the JSYK category: I haven’t had a single point, ticket, etc... in my entire driving lifetime (which is a little over a half of a century)! While visiting my parents in my early 20’s one summer, I drove my mother 2 the grocery store in a rental (no SUV I can promise U – the basic 4 door Ford Escort – automatic) the sun was shining & not a cloud in the sky … so “I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone” (Johnny Nash ) def applied but the roads were still wet since there had recently been a light rain … And wouldn’t U know, my mother accused me of driving “like an old lady” … My little sister, who was in the backseat while I attempted 2 justify ? explain my proactive driving technique 2 my mom (i.e., defensive driving)… she piped up & said 2 me, “Too much work!” … LOL
PPS JSYK: Just So You Know
I still search for the perfect wiper velocity...nothing seems to ever be quite right. The only one that works is full blast in a downpour.
As a side note...often when I visit here my Norton picks up a "webhancer tracking" bug and I have to quaranteen it. Either this website doesn't like my machine, I have an overly sensitive hard drive (su) or TL is trying to hack into some photos I have.
Anyway, M4S, 79 and 279 suck in rain for your aforementioned reasons and is even worse than bright sunny days when people can't figure out that sunglasses and the visor beat that, so coming around Camp Horne Road they slow to a crawl.
Later.
I had some spare time so I checked out the eTrust Antivirus site, which indicates that the webhancer tracking bug is usually associated with a file named "manmanaction.mpg" in your browser cache files or temp file directory. You might want to clear your cache to see if you can clear the error.
Hope that helps!
I was hoping it wasn't cranberrymoms.com.
Did you say 'man man action'??? Where the heck can I find that? I know I'm blonde if I'm being dumb...yes I know I'm being dumb so scr yu...i l y guys....
