Crack ups
Getting into work was slow today as there was a rather nasty looking accident on southbound 35W, just before 694. It was an odd one, there were two vehicles practically side by side, and then one behind them, all had some significant damage, indicating the impact speed must have fairly high, especially for a rush hour.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, most accidents happen because someone does something stupid. Here, I bet someone was going way to fast for rush hour, didn't realize traffic was slowing down ahead of them, and plowed into two cars, or maybe one and it knocked it into another vehicle.
This will be another busy week. Meet with my school group tonight, Mom will be coming through tomorrow night, Wednesday our school group might need to meet again, on Thursday there's a talk that's related to my school work so I'll go to that, for some ideas on my capstone project. As far as I know, my Friday is still free!
I finally got around to watching the rest of the Westminster Dog Show. The winner seemed worthy enough, the German Shorthaired Pointer. (Yessir, it's these kinds of immediate results that you can only get in blogs!) Although, the Best in Show judging seemed more of a competition between which dog could stand still at attention and focus on their handler the best. It didn't seem to be about what it's supposed to be about, which dog compares to its standard the best. (Which is about as subjective as you can get.) In the Hounds groups, none of my favorites even made to the first cut. Boooo. One wildly terrific thing this year is that they have videos of the Breed judging on line! So, I could peek at the Irish Wolfhound judging. Very neat to see all those dogs at once. I didn't realize the breed also came in kind of a yellowish coat. It seems like the darker gray coat always makes it to the Group judging. Maybe there's a bias against the lighter coats.
Only watched a little of the Oscars last night. Yawn. I hadn't seen any of the movies, don't really care to. Although maybe Ray would be somewhat interesting. Sounds like there was some of the usual Hollywood politicizing. I say keep it up, Blue Staters. You don't realize how much that alienates you from a large segment of the country.
