Pardon me. but do we still have a rant day that is a carry over from Spaces? Well don’t know the answer to that, but have gotten peeved about a few things lately that surely apply. First off.. why doesn’t anyone read road signs any more? I mean I am old school about things but really.. if the sign says YIELD.. DO IT!! If the sign says STOP.. do that too. Don’t roll on into the intersection waiting for the on coming traffic to stop for you. Twice I saw this and I must say it was NOT a teen driver doing it either. Here they call them a “Michigan roll.” Roll on out there and get smacked is what they should call them. Geez.. get some education!. I hate people who just go along and think they make the rules of the road. There is NEVER anyone around to give them a ticket to tell them that THEY ARE WRONG.. about what they are doing. Maybe if they got a ticket and had to pay money they wouldn’t do it again.
Mom and I nearly got broadsided with a man, (he was not a kid either) who just drove on through that very large sign that said YIELD. There is a lot of construction out there they are trying to finish before the bad weather comes, and I have seen people driving WAY too fast for the speed that is posted too. Too bad there is not an ”eye in the sky” camera around to film those drivers too. Another thing I truly don’t like is people who try to get out into the intersection before you have even cleared it. We have had some close calls lately and that always makes your heart race faster. There are some crazy drivers out there, who really should be given a lesson on how to OBEY the rules and road signs!
WHEW… now I feel better.. thanks!! (I miss the smilies from spaces)
Gas prices shot back up around here to 2.85! Never did find out why but that was at least a 25 cent jump.Went shopping for some fresh new apples and found that some stores had them as high as 3.99 a bag as where some others 1.99. Pays to shop around I guess. Michigan’s apple crop isn’t too great this year because of the freeze we had and so they are yielding a lot less than last year. The ones that are coming in are smaller apples and with less flavor. I find myself looking for the Washington varieties, they always are delicious.
Those of you on facebook know that Sis is trying out an e-reader. I am trying hers too. It is a fun little gadget that gets e mails and books and will go out on the web. Small and convenient and that is a good thing. Never thought I would use such a thing as I am addicted to my laptop now. It is a lot slower and harder to keep the wifi signal in tact but the battery life is great. You can make a picture viewer out of it with your SD card etc, so it proves to be a real multi-purpose item. I am quite impressed with it so far. So far I give it three stars. You can’t print anything out and maybe they will improve that in the future.
WELL it’s been quite a week here the last few days. Mom has made another trip to the ER and had a small surgery at another hospital. It never ends around here. I sure will be ready to get to the weekend!
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Howdy! Round here it's farm machinery jist as you drive over ah hill! Or Amish buggies at night with no light or reflector. I guess I ranted myself! LOL! I am sorry to hear about another trip to er and surgery. I hope you and your Mom are doing well. Beautiful Fall tree there! Take care and as always love your visits.
Hi Sis..your private blog won't allow me in now. I used..no, I'll write you a regular email and tell you what I used. I think it was set up on spaces for hotmail. I never use hotmail except for spaces. When spaces is gone, so is my hotmail. Just not something I need.
Yes indeed Wednesday is rand Day in OUR blog family!! Durn tootin'.
Yeah, you're not alone with being frustrated by other drivers. Sometimes I swear we're invisible by the number of people that pull out in front of us or pull some other stupid move.
Gas is around $2.89 here. Sure wish is would go down some.
I looked at the ereader and it sounds very cool. I sure like my Kindle with it's whispernet wireless connection. It works almost everywhere.
Nice fall color in your picture. Most of the leaves are down around here. Sure happened fast.
We always have to drive defensively, it seems.I've noticed when someone is in such a big hurry, we get to the light at the same time. Sorry your Mom had another ER trip and surgery.
Thanks for the info on Michigan apples cuz I usually buy them. Gas is back up here too, $2.62, neighborhood station.
Im here along side you all to add a rant.
Glad you like your laptop. I thought of getting one too and also have wireless internet now.
Its nice to know there some that can be moved around and still get the signal. I would love to on my sofa with a laptop.
Its been alot of work her on the farm. I cant even see a quarter of a mile thought the dust. Each producer is as happy as can be. We are almost finished and then I will be dusting for a month to come.
Have a great night.
Lovely fall colors. Come to Seattle if you want to see some really bad drivers. Oh my gosh.
How right you are about drivers. They seem to feel they are special and should be first at any spot, don't have to fully stop and that turn signals are for other to use (that goes for police too).
The tree is just awesome. Great picture.
Good rants!!! I feel the same way.
LOVELY! tree!
HUGS!
