Back in the saddle again....

Things I think

I think someone should put a big sign up when you get into Louisiana. Something like “If you’re going east of Lafayette, it’s a bridge. Just a big old bridge. One after the other. For hours. If you freak out on bridges, turn around, go north, or fly.” Something like that.

Seaside, Florida may the the coolest place on earth.

There has to be a city planner around here somewhere. I’d like to know who is in charge of the decision to take a five lane Interstate in the middle of the fourth largest city in America down to two lanes. On Friday night. When there’s no way 2.5 million people would possibly be on the road starting their weekend. I mean, surely no one in Houston goes out on Friday night, right? Don’t you all stay at home and watch PBS? That has to be it. Gotta be.

I think that if you’re going to scare an entire nation and ruin the economy of entire states, you should keep telling people that they’re going to come out of the Gulf looking like Swamp Thing. This is going to shock some of you, but there have been tar balls on Gulf of Mexico beaches for a few decades now. When waves of oil reach a beach or marsh, that’s a problem. Getting a tar ball on your little MSNBC toe is not a national catastrophe. It’s called living on the Gulf. And before you start in with the whole “Any tar ball is a crime against the environment” stuff, take a look down at your little plastic I-Phone and check out the statement from filling up the gas on your little charter flight down here while you’re putting on your “No Animal Tested” lipstick that comes out of a plastic tube. Then you can tell me all about how you’re trying to do your part to save the world. “We have to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels!” Really? I hadn’t heard. Look, we know you had to look us up on your little Google map, but we’ve been here a while. We even have Starbucks and Panera’s. Sum of us done even had sum skoolin. Welcome to the party.

Fairways, greens and one putts.....
