Simon: That’s one of my pet peeves as well, people that are too ignorant to notice warning signs, even if the message is debatable.

Donnie: You and me both. However, Simon does have a point, and that is there are a lot of stupid, ignorant people out there to watch out for.

Peter: Helvetica and Arial are nice, legible fonts but Lucida Grande seems to have more style to it.

Sprons: It’s an expensive habit (or addiction), isn’t it? I don’t smoke but a few family members of mine do and they are always complaining about how expensive cigarettes are.

Aaron: I’ve seen something similar before and it always amazes me that people make up their own rules while driving.

It’s always the usual routine when I visit the gas station. Fill up, move on to the next task. Though I do witness some situations where things seem to make sense. The other day I was driving with a cowoker and we saw a crazy motorcyclist driving right past us, weaving in and out of traffic on a two lane road. He even went on the wrong side of the road, nearly hitting a few oncoming cars. At that point we both agreed that not only was he crazy, but that life can be that way sometimes.

The last time I went to a gas station was because I needed some cigaretes. The price in this time of the year was so high that I went home to pick up a ladder!

Erik,

Thanks for that post. I’m reading it at the end of a crazy day, with hours to go before I sleep, as the poet said. It’s a great hit of perspective.

ps: I can’t believe I chose helvetica. lucidia grande looks SO much better.
