Cars Don't Kill People, Jerk Offs In Cars Kill People

"Arms are for hugs".

So said the front bumper of the car. It also said about a half dozen other equally insightful things. God only knows what the rear end was spouting. Of course, when I say insightful, in no way do I mean thought provoking or awe inspiring. Merely, it is actually a glimpse into the hypocritical world of the mouth breather behind the wheel.

On Saturday afternoon, I was out with my 3-1/2 year old daughter, while my wife was taking the 7 year old to the American Girl movie. We decided to stop in to the local Wawa to pick up a soda for me and an icee her. On the way out, I was holding my daughter's hand and about to step off the sidewalk in front of the building toward my car across the parking lot. I saw it barrel into the lot and make a beeline for a space just across the way. It would have gone right through us about 8 feet from where I decided to stop. Thankfully, I saw the maniac. Then I heard screeching breaks and the car came to a stop about 10 feet short of the impact zone. And if that wasn't enough? Then I got the annoyed "go ahead" wave from the driver. Fuck you bitch!!

I don't personally choose to own a handgun, but know the responsibility that I would incur should I ever change my mind. I'm sure that my arm would be a hell of a lot less likely to kill someone and their small child than this "person's" car obviously is.

Hammered, Then Nailed

Back to back hands in the riverchasers game last night. I'm down to just over 9 BBs at the start of level 5 and, of course, in binary mode. All in or fold. No other choice until I'm back over 10 BBs. Anyway, I pick up JJ UTG+1 and shove. Get called for less from UTG+2 and lose to his suited hammer and trip 7's. So now I have just over 2 BB and am UTG. A8s? Good enough. In they go. Right into hammer boy's AA. Thwap. GG me.

I run good. Last 3 SNGs played on tilt - ran TT into AA, ran JJ into AA, KK got run down by JT.
