Random Thoughts (aka: J is in a bitchy mood)

~If you're going to walk along a road without sidewalks, you are supposed to walk facing traffic. Why don't the people that live around here understand that? They will walk side by side, practically on the white line, on the wrong side of the road, at night, wearing all black. If I hit you, its not my fault.

~How can gas prices jump 5-10 cents/gallon in less than 8 hours? When I was younger, didn't gas usually only go up 1 or 2 cents a day? That's all I'm going to say about this subject b/c I could go on all night and I don't want to.

~If you are waiting on an elevator, let the people off before trying to get on. You can't go anywhere until they're off. Plus, what if there is a fire or a rabid monkey with a chain saw at the back of the elevator? You're not only blocking the only escape people have but you're walking right into the danger.

~The media needs to stop hyping the bird flu thing. It is only infecting birds and people have have very close contact to birds right now. You only need to worry if you are a European/Asian that sleeps with birds or if you have wings and a beak. If you live in the middle of an American metropolitan area, I think you'll be ok (unless you were just in China and smuggled a chicken back to keep you company at night). There isn't any potential to get sick unless the virus mutates into a form that can be transmitted from person to person. That has not happened and it might never happened. If it does, it might not be bad at all. Remember how SARS was going to kill us all? I think we all need to be more concerned with chain saw welding rabid monkeys instead.
