So I've come up with a plan to put more focus/organization into this blog. (I know, single slow clap in the distance). And it's called, an outline! Yes, not just for 8th grade book reports anymore! The blog outline can keep you in-line and focused so you can easily plan the day-to-day rants! WEll, here's how I see it going down:

Mondays' will be Dear Monday, followed by whatever horrendous events occured on the weekend or against me in any way, shape, or form.

Tuesdays' will be Top Ten Tuesdays when i count down something I came up with 5 seconds before it flew out of my fingers.

Wednesdays will be Whine-about-Wednesdays, you can use your imagination on that.

Thursdays will be Traffic Reports in which I regal you with some tale of my commuting adventures. I sit on K street for a full 20 minutes by a bus stop, you'd be surprised.

Fridays will be a Free for All.

I don't blog on weekends. It's against my religion. So, it keeping with my new outline, which I'll have to write on a post-it and stick somewhere so I don't deviate, I bring you my first:

Traffic Report Thursday
This week I felt like small vehicles get the shaft more often than not in traffic. I was cut off by an SUV behind a pick up I was trying to make space for so he'd stop lane straddeling and then -woooosh!! In comes the suburban. What the hell am I going to do? Nothing, thats' what. Happens all the time.
I thought for sure I actually witnessed an accident on Monday though. I'm sitting on K st (as always) and a cop car with it's lights on is coming towards me in the far right lane and then makes a wide Left turn into crossing pedestrians and stops short and gets out of the car. It's raining, it's dark, but I saw stuff (bags or brief case) on the ground in front of the patrol vehicle. Then I see the cop helping some girl in blue argyle move onto the sidewalk and she's covering her face with her hands. I swear this cop hit her with his car while making a completely illegal traffic maneuver. She was not in the crosswalk, but about 8-10 feet in front of it. I wonder how that will all go down in court. She didn't look hurt but if you get hit with a moving vehicle, I don't think it matters much how fast/slow they're going, it probably leaves a scratch or two. Is the cop going to get away with this move because she was technically 'jay walking'? I really hope not.
I always love how cops can just put their lights on and do whatever illegal traffic manuever they feel like. I mean, great if they're actually going to the scene of a crime (not creating one) but I bet 9 times out of 10 they're just late to get the videos back at Blockbuster or trying to make it to the McDonalds' drive-thru before they switch from breakfast to lunch. Cuz if I had that power, I'd use it to. The heck with sitting in traffic, turn on those lights!
