So I’m washing the MINI yesterday. Hose in hand washing off the soap and the lass walks by. She says to me, ‘washing your car huh?’
Without missing a beat, I say ‘Nope. I’m watering it in hopes of it getting a little bit bigger’.
Went over not as well as I could have hoped, but Bill Engvall would have been proud.
I’ve mentioned this before in previous posts, but I don’t think I was specific enough. If you are brave enough to traverse Hwy 74 in SoCal, either east or west bound during regular commute hours, please read on.
If, on the otherhand, you’ve heard stories and rumors about Ortega Hwy and are hesitant to drive this road, DON’T! It is a treacherous road that kills at least 15 motorists everyday. It’s dangerous and scary. There is no need for you to read any further.
Anyway, for those of you that do brave this dangerous and treacherous highway on a daily basis, much as I do (always while wearing a helmet and firesuit BTW), please try your best to follow the direction below. If this isn’t you, but you know who it is, please remember the site name and refer that person back. Thank you.
- Speed limit from Antonio Parkway to El Cariso Village is 55MPH, not 35-45.
- Please take a moment and read the CA DMV’s handbook. In it you will find the following:
Turnout Areas
Special “turnout” areas are sometimes marked on two-lane roads. You should pull to the side in these areas and allow cars behind you to pass. Other two-lane roads sometimes have “passing lanes.” If you are driving slowly on a two-lane highway or road where passing is unsafe, and five or more vehicles are following you, pull to the side of the road wherever you can safely do so to let the vehicles pass.
This mean that if you are traveling at a speed slower than the posted limit, and are pulling a train of 5 cars or more, get out of the way! - There are 2 passing areas on Ortega Hwy. If you are driving slower than the others, DO NOT SPEED UP in these areas. Just deal with the fact that you are going to get passed by many cars. Approx 1 mile past the second passing area there is a very large turnout (large enough to park 3 tractor/trailer rigs side by side). Please take advantage of it.
- If it is night time and you are unfamiliar with the road, go around. Trust me, you’ll save time
- If it is raining and you are unfamiliar with the road, go around. Please see above.
- If you are a complete and total idiots whose goal in life is to just meander about and piss people off to the point that they wish you to drive off the edge of a cliff, go around. I could give a shit if it takes you 4 hours to drive from OC to the IE. You are in my way.
If you can drive this road at 50mph or better, you’re good. If you can not, then stay away and drive around. The rest of us want to get home.
Thank you.
I’m so pleased that makers of my current favorite adult beverage, Scottish Courage Ltd., uses a bit of technology to keep that beer flowin’! WOOHOO!
Finally finished off the big web project I’ve been working on for the last 2 months. Then stopped at half of the car washes to post signs for the upcoming Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraiser.
So I ended up home a bit early, and I wandered to the monolith known as my home entertainment system (insert manly grunts here).
Flipping around I come across, stop and actually watch what has got to be one of the 5 worst movies of all times, Starship Troopers. ugh, like a train wreck that one. I would even go out on a limb and say this is worse than the 5th Element (what a turd) but not quite as bad as Desparately Seeking Susan (equally turdish).
Fast forward passed dinner and Enterprise to this evenings all new West Wing. I can only say this…if they kill her, I will have words.
Fast forward a bit more. passed the e3 coverage on G4. passed local knews that can only talk about beheadings and prisoner treatment. HBO was showing Baseketball. While definitely of Oscar caliber (actually, I couldn’t think of an award that this movie deserves), Matt & Trey do a funny job. Kinda like the old Airplane movies, but with more boobs and Robert Stack describe a gay encounter. Yea, funny like that. If you haven’t seen it, definitely worth the rent. Purchase at your own risk, and only if you are freaky like that.
I’m tired. time to rest…
Yep that’s right boys and girls. Before db goes totally postal, it is time that you actually take a few minutes and learn…
HTML
(insert dramatic music here)
Uninstall that pirated, expired copy of Dreamweaver!
Delete Front Page!
Belly up and do it!
But, you might be asking “why?”
You see, when you use a WYSIWYG HTML editor, it makes the code all wonky. For example the following line:
< B >Hello World!< /B >
Nice and simple HTML. But when you try to do the same thing in and editor, you get something like:
< p font size=”1″ >< b >< em >< strong >Hell< /font >< /b >o< b > < strong >
< p font size=”1″ >< em > < b >< strong >World!< /font >< /p >< /em >
You think I’m making this up? Go ahead, load up your editor (Dreamweaver is the worst) and try typing out a simple paragraph with some formatting. Ugh, what a disaster.
I mention this because I’m working on a project right now, a really big, HTML only site (+50 pages). And, they decided to download a copy of Dreamweaver and make some changes. I am not kidding when I tell you that it took me 9 hours to go through all of the pages to correct all of the f’ed up HTML that was left behind.
It’s not that tough gang, really. Give it a go! Heck, you can get a copy of HTML for dummies almost everywhere too.
Oh yea, appearantly fat girls aren’t reading w(t)f or are ignoring my posts. Again, could you please, please, pretty please with Oreo cookies, hot fudge and cheese on top stop wearing shirts that are too short? Myself and others would appreciate it!
That is all
