Good eye there is a donout shop on the left. How funny is that? maby he is happy he has go to work that intersection. So when he is done with the traffic he can go right on in.
maybe i am thinking too simplistically, but wouldn't a traffic light be a lot safer (and economically more feasible)? if this is a temporary situation, then all his gymnastics may be dangerous if not demeaning to our friends at the police department......
nahh, UDD...canuck would not have had such naive notes. It's a quirky video with a former (?part time?) cop who apparently is tolerated, but not prevented from his annual whistle dance.
Ahhh, that such lightness be gifted even of a moment on all self-important agencies. And the commoners learn comfort thereby.
that's what happens after a 1/2 doz donuts.
I haven't seen a cop directing traffic in twenty years. This guy could work my town, right next to dunkin's, it would be better that the lights that work 1/2 the time.
My father was a baker for DD for a few years, and they really did bake new donuts every 4 hours back then. He would bring home donuts every day, and I grew to hate them. I still do.
Paul Keith, 75, was arrested in Framingham, Mass., in November after he had allegedly driven aggressively into the car stopped in front of him waiting for a traffic light to change. Keith earnestly explained to police that the other driver had failed to move once the light turned green. "(S)o I drove into the back of him. When the light turns green, you're supposed to go." (Keith demolished the front end of his car.) [Metro West Daily News (Framingham), 11-4-07]
WASHINGTON (AP) - Wholesale prices jumped in November and jobless claims fell last week. Wholesale prices shot up 3.2 percent, the biggest jump in 34 years, propelled by a record rise in gasoline prices. Meanwhile, consumers put aside worries about the weak economy in November to storm into the shopping malls, pushing up retail sales by the largest amount in six months.
Most of the latest vids are so, let me say again, sooooo, lame. They are barely worthy of comment. All I do is look for discussions between the posters. The vids are beneath note, for the most part.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Thanks for asking free, I'm fine, freezing my toes off on a job, but glad to be working! You say you work nights, I tried that for a whole six months (building cars for GM) I just couldn't do it! Even at the outrageous hourly rate I was payed, $25.50 in 1980! Plus full benefits (no copay) and a couple $100 savings bonds with the bi-monthly check! Not that I couldn't do the job, (I ran a big gigantic camber set robotic contraption) I couldn't do the up at night sleep in the day thing! I hope all is well with you! And all other glumbertians as well.
Glad to know you're doing good miter, wish your toes were doing better though! Here where I am, (guess it does no harm to mention upstate NY), things are SNOWY!!. And cold. It's a little ironic that my daughter, who has spent the last year in CA, is stuck in a snowstorm herself, in New Mexico at the moment. Hard to believe. I didn't even know they got snow in NM, guess they do.
I've always been such a night owl, that when I got the job I have now (after working days most of my life) I felt I like I had found my true calling in life. Everyone I work with grumbles and complains, can't stand the night shift. I'm happy as a clam being up at night. I should have done it years ago. True, it does set me apart from most people I know (friends, family), it creates a bit of distance because of such opposite schedules. But internally, where my personal clock ticks, I am fine with it. I do lose sleep sometimes, but I did when I was a day-worker too. I never was a good sleeper, so doesn't really make that much difference. My kids like to joke that "Mom" used to be a vampire in a past life. I never did like sunny days. Always gave me a headache. Now, I can sleep right thru them. Well, not entirely true though. I do love the beach, sun, sand, surf, nice breeze, soak up the rays. That is my ultimate vacation fantasy. But as far as working day to day, I prefer my schedule, although I do understand completely, it doesn't work for most people.
When the sun gives me a headache, that is usually only in a car. Never been a great rider on a long trip.
Love the snow too, but only in December. As things look right now, there will be no shortage of the white stuff for Christmas! And, I don't know what else to call it. For me, it's always been Christmas, and it will always be. Happy Holidays is ok, don't mind that either. Just hope all my glumber friends are safe and happy, no matter what the season, or their personal preferences.
Anyone interested in seeing a cool picture I took this summer of a lightning bolt in a cloud with a surprise?
I was out waiting to take some time lapse photo's which would, with luck, capture a Perseid meteor in frame. I was watching this big ole storm and thought oh what the heck, lemme try for a lightning bolt, which I succeeded in capturing, to my surprise, while reviewing my shots, I also got a Perseid in the same frame! The rest of the night was a bust! I saw many, just not where I was pointing the camera...Murphy you sob!
Exiting for me, boring for you...if not...link to it at...
Ok this guy just ticks me off. I'm all for having a bit of fun but have a little self respect. He reminds me of a clerk at my local grocery store that sings, jumps around and makes bad jokes. Needless to say, I wait in the long line just to avoid him.
hey Randal.....tell me that boy's from New York......that's the way you do traffic......New York Style......Old School Baby. Hat's off to ya's! P.S. Ignore the yahoos above ya.
