*groan*
On my way back to Ohio a few years back, I was surprised to see a car going the wrong way on I-80.
They were going westboand in the Eastbound lanes.
The CB was alive with colorfull language and warnigns to 'watch out for this guy'.
And the more traffic that came at him, the more confused the driver seemed to be, and the more nervous he got.
A quick broadcast on channel 9 didn't being any response.

Lost teh car near an exit ramp, not sure if he finally got off of I-80 or not, but the truckers continued to cuss for 15 more minutes.

DRIVING

Two elderly women! were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, crap, am I driving?"

Hey buddy...I'm checkin' out yer radio show...good stuff!!

Eric Clapton's "Change The World"
(by Tommy Sims, Gordon Kenney and Wayne Kirkpatrick)

If I can reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:

That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.

And if I could be king,
Even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen;
I'd have it no other way.

And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then I'd be a fool,
Wishing for the day...

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

Great tune, uncleshag...MUD

Hey, beachy, morning.

[beachn4fun]

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, "The big sissy."
