Now it is floods devastating mid America, it seems like it has been one thing after another this year. Mother Nature has had a very bad year. There are also fires raging in California again, the cycle continues. Japan just had a 7.2 earthquake, this has been a horrible year for natural disasters. Here the drought is over so it seems and we made it through another tornado season so far and gas is under $4.00 a gallon so all is not bad so it seems.
How does it seem that we always hear about movie stars and athletes that carry guns to the airport and get caught. How does someone with normal intelligence no remember that they happened to have a gun in the one bag they choose to carry on the airplane. The list of people who had this stupid moment in their lives is huge and got one more member today, when a member of the Tennessee Titans got caught at the Nashville airport trying to carry a gun on the plane. John Smith of Nowhere USA does not try to carry a gun on the plane why do the celebrities think they get a pass on this law.
With Fan Fair over it seems we made it through the week with no stars losing their minds and creating havoc in the city. Every since I moved here in 1999 it seems that the week of Fan Fair one music star or another has gotten in trouble while here in the city for the celebration. Along with the football players in town for the summer camps the music stars keep our police hopping.
As I was trying to get to the bank before 5 pm I ran into a grid lock and later I found out it was caused by a broken gas main. It is bad enough to have Friday traffic compounded by a road completely shut down. Plus they had to evacuate the bank so it was a totally wasted trip. I think I will just go to bed and see if tomorrow is a better day. I do not know how many more days like today I can have before I have a complete melt down.
Got a flier in the mail today that actually caught my interest. Usually I don’t even glance at the junk mail and just toss it in the trash, but for some reason - maybe the photo of the rad bike on the front - I took a look at the flier from Progressive Insuance about their new program offering LoJack for bikes. LoJack is offering Progressive Insurance customers a $50 rebate and Progressive is offering a 20% discount in a partnership to promote this new stolen vehicle recovery system.
I didn’t know until I read this flier that LoJack is the only stolen vehicle recovery system actually operated by the police. Having LoJack installed gives bike owners more peace of mind that their bike is safe or will be quickly recovered if stolen. That along with the money saving incentives from both companies has me putting this flier aside and I’ll look at it again tomorrow with the thought of signing up for this.
