Today was both hilarious and sobering

First funny of the day, I am walking into work in a huge, and I mean bigger than a football field parking lot, and this guy comes strolling out of nowhere with a paper plate with two homemade burgers. There was no top, no plastic wrap, 2 burgers on a paper---not Styrofoam plate.   There is no place that I can see where this guy could have gotten this food. There has never, ever been this kind of food available at this place. This was like the most crazy thing I have ever seen. And of course, he was on his mobile phone. The parking lot Hamburgler.

Second funny of the day, remember the offensive Bosch dishwasher? Well it has been sitting at the curb since last Friday. Grosse Pointe Woods keeps promising to pick it up and just never gets around to actually doing the job. So today they put a notice in my door. We are terrible shits and asshats as we put our garbage out toooooo early. Well, egads, we have offended the neighbors. (And you all know those folks.) So Big Daddy calls the Department of Codes and Enforcement and goes through the QandA and the Department of Codes and Enforcement does not have a hand cart to come and help BD put the offending dishwasher in the garage until Thursday after 5 and then come back and help him put it back out again, and well, everything is okay for right now. Just forget it.

At 5 PM BD notices the dishwasher is gone and he suspects Mr. Freep (also known as the hoarder) has escaped his wife and swiped the dishwasher off the curb. Life here is always interesting.

Today I was driving down the road and talking to BD on my hands free, blue tooth, Ford Sync'ed phone when I almost reared a car stopped in the road. I slammed the braked and swerved right and prayed no one was in that lane. A huge Dodge Ram that was following me did the same and we both made it out okay. BD is right, you just don't pay attention when you are talking like you think you do. I was blessed not to have had a really bad time.

BD also had a bad time on his way home. The car in front of him was behind a vehicle with shit hanging off the back. That vehicle starting backing up and smashed some stuff hanging off the back right through the window of the car. BD said the lady honked and honked and then jumped out.  Yeowwzah, not good.

Yes, I should have had a picture of the dishwasher, and the burger, but really there was no time on the burger. And where was he going? He was not going toward the plant. Maybe he was not in this time, one of those time change things. That is scary.
