Risen from the Dead
It all happened so fast. First, there was a blog, and then it was gone. Just like that. There was no ransom note. There was no trial. There was no phone call. Not knowing was the hardest part.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Perhaps it was a spurious glitch in my neural pathways. Perhaps a cosmic particle temporarily stripped me of reason or rationality. Whatever the reason, I decided (on Tax Day) that this blog must die.
And so it was.
But now the blog has returned! It has risen from the dead! However, it is not as complete as it once was. I have lost an "s". It is now the Haphazard Musing blog (as opposed to Haphazard Musings). Apparently, I was robbed in May...by someone who seemingly is inept about the whole blogging thing. Maybe haphazardmusings.blogspot.com is for psychics!
Nevertheless, you may rejoice at the return of this wonderfully stupid blog (or is it, stupidly wonderful?).
Woo hoo!
As my first musing upon resurrection, I would like to pose a question: What do all the following have in common?
Give up?
Apparently, they are all concepts that are equally difficult for many people to comprehend. Yet, these very same people somehow feel they are capable - albeit qualified - to operate a motor vehicle and talk on a cell phone at the same time!
Amazing!
They must all be members of the Pid family. Let's see, there's King Pid and Queen Pid, Kid Pid, Moronica Pid, and Stu Pid.
Drive safe out there! Somebody has to!

Hehehehe...
I'm in Ann Arbor right now Bill, and the drivers here are absolutely HORRID! The four mile trek from the hotel to the hospital is fraught with fast moving driving hazards.
One time I thought i'd take the hotel shuttle thinking it'd be safer/less stress...... HA! Never again!
Welcome back to your blog. I know i've missed it :)

Hey Tracy - I hope all is going well in Ann Arbor and that you and the driving hazards steer clear of each other!!
Thanks for the "welcome back" and I wish you all the best!

We have several cartoons we show in our Seatbelt class at Keizer Fire.
One shows a guy with all his gadgets, coffee, etc and he's been pulled over by a cop. He says to the cop, "I'm sorry Officer. I didn't realize I was driving."
Another shows a guy talking on his cell phone and driving his car off a cliff saying "Yeah! Apparently people are FOUR TIMES more likely to get into an accident while talking on a cell phone! Yeah! Four TIMES!"
