RAM tough




I enjoy feeling cranky once in a while. Today has given me several opportunities to indulge. It’s not exactly one of “those” days, but sufficient evidence of me-me-me!! Syndrome has presented itself.

First off, I’d like to thank the sophomoric master of the universe who drove his truck onto the beach, first traversing its length in between the road and the lake and then going for it, grinding all the gears (except the ones in his head) in a muscular push to motor it along the shoreline. Behold the result.

Moneyed beach combers informed us that four years ago a brand new $80,000. Hummer and its owner found themselves in similar straights. Fortune smiled upon them in that instance, because beachcomber’s husband propelled his old time Hummer onto the sand and pulled the $80,000. Hummer team out of the drink. They actually went all the way into the water.
Ha ha. Are you laughing yet?

(There is a squiggly red line under the second ‘ha’. That’s annoying me, too.)
Second, my approbation extends to the six (6) females departing the caffe with two f’s, allowing me to hold open the door for them with nary a peep of thanks. I rewarded myself by stating, “Rude, rude, rude.” Am I turning into my Aunt Marion? She quartered no low class behavior from anyone. My mother was a trifle more circumspect, but not much.

Last, may I please take a moment of your time to recognize the Mercedes SUV which awaited my removal of myself and my car from a desirable parking space. The driver - license plate ‘Funzini’ - grew impatient at my needless seconds-long stowing of my purse and laptop and gunned the accelerator in disgust.

Just then I felt an urge to dust the dashboard and powder my nose. She screetched her vehicle around the corner, failing to stop as required by the sign, blazing past the old folks hotel in search of another slot.

It’s Friday in the sunset coast.
