If I was in charge... - 3x Thursday

1. If you could write one law regarding the driving laws, what would it be? Why?

A $500 fine for notusing blinkers (changing lanes, turning, etc.). And double the fines for anything if they are practicing districting driving (cell phones, turned around for their kids, yelling at their spouse) if it's important enough to endanger others it's important enough to pull over.

2. If you could get the entire world to change one thing about itself (the way it works, the way we think on the whole, etc), what would it be? Why?

To be more tolerant of others and their opinions.

3. What's your plan for 'alternative energy source' plan? Can it work in real life?

I think the hybrid cars would help in all sorts of ways. It'd help with pollution, depleting energy resources//dependancies and I'm sure more that I can't think of. I'm sure people would just replace a few of their light bulbs with more energy efficient ones it'd help too. It's less power and less heat generated (so it's not competing with the air conditioner in the summer).

Bonus Question for Comments:If you could remove one law, what would it be? Why?

I can think of a few but non that I'm willing to start up a debate on.

From 3x Thursday.

Free-for-all Friday

1. What is the first thing you did this morning?

Hit snooze on the alarm clock (several times).

2. How many pictures do you have on the wall in the room you are in right now?

None. It fell off a few days ago and I need to fix the hook on the back of it. It's a print of The Kiss by Klimt.

3. If you could go to your favorite store and buy 1 item, regardless of cost, what would it be and why? Nothing that is a necessity!!

I'd go to the Apple store and buy a new dual-processor desktop system. It'd be loaded to the max with storage and memory (and if a computer and monitor counts as one item I'd get one of their huge beautiful LCD monitors for it). My current desktop is loaded to the max and had an upgrade on the processor and I'm pretty close to the max on everything else so it's about that time. I think I bought it in early/mid-2001 so it's getting up there in dog years...

From Free-for-all Friday.

Jumping the shark - Friday Fiver

1. Have you ever been to the ocean?

Yes. The Atlantic and the Pacific. I've swam in them both multiple times.

2. When is the last time you wore a swimsuit?

I think the last time I had a swimsuit on was about fifteen months ago. I was swimming in the English Channel at the time. (I said in not across.

3. Do you respect people more for staying through difficult times or knowing when to call it quits?

We'll those can easily be mutually exclusive. I think they need to stick with it for a bit before they quit. If they quit/give up they lose a little respest and a lot of sympathy...

4. Name a TV show that made a huge splash in the beginning, but has since gone downhill:

I'd have to say The West Wing. But it's definetly started to pick back up, but it's still not the same.

5. Have you ever eaten shark?

Yes. Shark tacos actually. I'm thinking it was at P.T. O'Malley's when they used to be on Grand River. I could be wrong on that, it might have been a bar that popped up at the same location after P.T.'s moved to Abbott.

From the Friday Fiver.

A strange title since I think of “Jumping the shark” as when a TV show starts to go downhill. (I guess that goes with item four but most of the questions were water related.) As in when on Happy Days when they did the stunt with Fonzie jumping the shark to attract viewers it pretty much had hit it's low point and there was no turning back.
