A very interesting drive to work this morning... besides the accident that shut down the freeway for 20 minutes.
- My morning radio show brought up a story about a guy who took a cab from Texas to Lansing, Michigan. Total fare - $1000. The radio show then flagged down a cab and asked him how much it would cost to go from Chicago to Orlando, Florida. Quoted Price = $2000.
- I ended up seeing a "rice-burner" car on the highway this morning. You know the type - huge-ass fin stapled to the trunk, some ground highlights, maybe some new paint, and a ton of stickers and signage on the car. It even had the name of the car written on the doors with an oriental-brush-stroke-type font that was a foot tall. The reason "rice-burner" is in quotes is because the car is a NEON! Gotta love the irony.
I'm feeling high on life today. Gonna leave work early to go home and work out (that's what 11 hour work days when traffic is bad are good for). Hopefully my day will stay upbeat like this. :-)
