TailGating When There's Nowhere to Go

Why bother tailgating me if there's nowhere to go?  I have a bunch of cars in front of me, so why bother tailgating?  You go around me, you just end up right behind someone else.  Ah, I see, you want to push everyone out of the way!  This really Grinds My Gears.

Global Warming ... What a Fantasy, Right?

No, I'm not upset by people who believe in Global Warming (or better named, Global Climate Change). I'm upset at those who, despite all the evidence, insist that there is no change. It's all cyclical. Well, OK, take a look at Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth ... take a look at the graph in part of the movie when he shows how, yes, CO2 has varied from time to time. But it has never gone over 300 parts per million. And now it's at 380 ... and if you look at the graph, has climbed incredibly since the Industrial Revolution.

But of course, we have nothing to do with it. Well, even if we don't, temperatures are going up, and we need to do something about it. This really Grinds My Gears.

Ads, Ads, Everywhere

I went to a supermarket today. It took me a while to notice it, but there was a LCD screen facing the shoppers ... not with prices on it, but with ads! There's nowhere you can go to avoid ads. This really Grinds My Gears.
