That's actually closer to the truth than most people realize.

The Donner Summit sign is on I-80, which has been intermittently closed for many hours at a time over the last couple of weeks due to the heavy snows being experienced as multiple storms make their way from the Arctic Pacific and across the Pacific Northwest.

I have been told they don’t teach Cursive handwriting in schools anymore. I suppose this kind of foul-up is why (?)

Well today is off to a wonderful start. Driving into work early this morning and some kind of junk flew out of a busted up old pickup in front of me. Tried to swerve to miss it but saw it to late. Now I'm sitting here with a busted up front end and a flat tire waiting on a tow truck.

On the bright side you didn't get hurt.

Gotta love idiots that don't secure their loads. Law here in Oregon.

 

Got to thinkin this morning that while I waited yesterday for UPS, I was suppose to have a package from FedEx show up. My Kickstarter from Steamforged Games (Secrets of Gullet Cove). So I go & check the tracking & now it's saying "Undetermined date"....hmmmm. Probably due to the crazy late winter weather the West is experiencing this year. Last place it tracked was Cheyenne, WY.

 

Hell, I'm just glad I can track the package. Steamforged initially sent out a tracking number from a previous KS package...WTFluff??? Thou, their help/contact email was very prompt in responding, I'll give em that.

We've got those same laws, but I doubt your average late night/early morning scrap picker cares much about securing his load of junk and/or stolen metal.

It was not common knowledge, but well enough known that I was aware of it, that a certain fairly large west coast vending machine business was controlled by the Palm Springs branch of the Mafia.  Their "control" of the vending business in SoCal was cracked open when Pac-Man hit and the video game craze exploded beyond their ability to control the new market.

Huh.   I had never heard that before. probably because I didn't get into Coin Op until the 90s, and it was in NorCal.

And even if they do care, it doesn't always mean they do a good job. 

 

The one time I was hit by flying debris, it was the turnbuckle from one of the straps securing the load.
