Last week on the way home, I ended up behind a car with West Virginia plates. It’s one of those states that have a motto on the license plate. It said simply,
Wild, Wonderful
Wasn’t what I was expecting. Then again, I suppose that “Marryin’ Cousins” isn’t the type of thing you put on a license [...]

Who’s that Doggie in the Window?
This has happened to me twice in the last couple of weeks. I’ll stop somewhere on the way home from work, and I’ll get out of the car and see a little tiny dog in the rear window of a parked car, on that little shelf between the top of the rear seat and that [...]
On the Back of a Truck
So I was coming to work this morning, and I look up ahead of me and saw what looked like a guy standing in the back of a trailer truck going down the freeway at 60 mph. I did a double take. There was no way I could actually be seeing that, but from [...]
Perpendicular Parking
I’m driving downtown tonight, and about a block ahead of me, I see what I think can only be a car pulling into a driveway. I made this judgment base on past experience and the fact that the car was headed at a right angle to the sidewalk. A driveway was the only [...]
All That Glitters Is Not Gay, Yeah, I Wish
About five months ago, I got a new to me car, a 1999 Mazda Miata. I love it. Had I known that it was going to be this much fun, I would have bought an old beater years ago. Anyway, the Miata for a long time has been known as a gay car. It’s probably [...]

The exit before I get off the freeway sometimes backs up three [...]
Brideshead Revisited
When I’m driving and stop at a light, I always look over at the people next to me. You never know. It might be a cute girl. The other night I was stopped at a light and I looked over. It was a girl. And she was cute. Just one thing. She had a hairdo [...]
Student Driver
I’m driving to work the other day. It was one of my late days, and I was taking a freeway I wouldn’t normally take. Normally, I take a different freeway, because on most days, that freeway has too much traffic at 8 in the morning. But on my late days, when I leave at about [...]
We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat
I took the week between Christmas and New Year’s off. Since the weather was nice I went skateboarding almost everyday. I really need to start getting some exercise and lose some weight, and skateboarding is the one form of exercise that I enjoy. I used to always go to beach to skate, but some time [...]
