Good morning… Thursday is here, and it is wet out there. But first:
The bartender responds, “Sorry, we don’t serve time travelers in here.”
A time traveler walks into a bar.
So, we’ve got rain, and a decent amount of it, but temps are balmy. In the Crestline area, temps were in the mid-40’s at 5:00 AM, so I’d be surprised to hear of freezing temps anywhere on our pile of rocks, west of Running Springs. We’ve got fog, though. It’s mostly light, but with patches that get a little denser for short moments of travel. Nothing ever gets heavy, and the fog vanishes just a little bit downhill from Upper Waterman Canyon Road’s exit.
Oh, but speaking of that area, there are rocks… one of the “usual suspects” regarding road segments to get rocked and rolled is the mile or so downhill from that exit… when the weather is wet, windy, or anti-gravity (not to worry: that last condition is pretty rare), the rocks migrate to their ancestral lurking areas, where they prey on tires and oil pans and spoilers and axle boots. Today is one of those days, so you may want to skooch yerself on over to the left lane for that stretch of minefield, since the vast majority of them dang ol’ thangs are in that right lane.
Did you hear about the suicidal homeopath? He took 1/1000th of the recommended dose.
Please note that this column will not be discussing Lady Gaga and/or Bradley Cooper, nor any related rumors, titillation, speculation, or concern. I hope this is not disappointing to readers who may have become accustomed to EVERY. FREAKIN’. THING. TO. BE. READ.ONLINE… being of that nature, but, hey, the good news is that while this column will not be covering this important news topic, EVERY. FREAKIN’. OTHER. THING. ON. LINE… will give you that.
A while back, this column discussed the notion of presenting a daily trivia gem. In the past few weeks, that trivia was not presented as promised, but today, we shall resume. Today’s trivia: Recent findings by statisticians have found that the average human has one ovary, and one testicle.
Finally, this last day of February 2019 is National Public Sleeping Day, and not uncoincidentally, in my opinion, National Toast Day. I believe that this is because if you are found to be sleeping while at work today, you are toast.
See you tomorrow, when we shall march onward!
