I was driving on 35 to the movies last night. I had taken the lower expressway and was going the speed limit. I kind of had that deer in the headlights look. I was totally in a zone, rocking out, kinda numb brained.
All of a sudden, the sound of an engine being revved up snapped me out of my zone. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw to bright headlights. The vehicle was literally 1ft away from my car.
I could not switch lanes or go any faster, there was a car in front of me and a car beside me. I was totally scared. I tapped on my brakes, but this only made the devil in a black truck more aggressive as he got closer to my car, and then almost hit the right rear end while he quickly switched lanes, and started doing the same thing to the car in the right lane.
The devil in a black truck exited the highway at a high speed onto the frontage road by the local Fiesta Mart in Central. The sound of the engine being revved echoed in the expressway and in my head.

Computer Literacy
No one is too old to be computer literate. Think of the world wide web like a really wide space, and you're able to travel at the speed of light..sightseeing, and communicating with humans along the way is not a bad thing.
It's only real bad when you have no one in real life to talk to on a real personal level. It's a great big Monopoly Game. Everyone wants a part of the best real estate on the web, and from my most recent experience, it happens to be MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook at this time. No matter how old.

Unidentified Flying Object- May Day..May Day...
It's been a little while since I've truly posted any news of days. Although, I do have a long list of drafted items I still need to publish. This will come during the week. For now, I've got something interesting to share with my readers.
I could not believe my eyes this morning, on the way to have brunch at Trudy's Northstar Location. I was traveling North on Mopac passing Camp Mabry ( on the left ), listening to the radio ( Jammin' 105.9- Tootsie Roll ), and driving the speed limit of 65mph.
Right up above our car to the right, about 75yards up towards the NE, I saw an object (unrecognizable) being incinerated as it got closer to the ground. It had a fireball attached to it. The idea here is something entered our atmosphere, and traveled long enough to be completely non-existent, only an image planted in my mind.
The image is kind of like trying to throw a marshmallow fireball more than 100yards away. The flame will go out. The marshmallow might make it to the other side, still intact and not too crispy.
The first thought that came to my mind was that it could have been a meteor, (about soft ball size), but burnt to a nothing, and not even making landfall.
My initial reaction was, " HOLY MACROW!!" then I turned off the radio, so I could explain myself to poor sleeping Paul, who I woke up from a sound nap.
We DVR'd Desperate Houswives, and were in the middle of watching the show at 11pm. The commercials included a News Preview of " reports of fireball..find out what it was, coming up at 10pm."
Missed the news, but did go to statesman.com and there was the report. Interesting how so many people reported..(I'm reposting this blog at statesman.com)
Funny. I have another story to go with this one. Having to do with a Rainbow Warrior in Hawaii.
