Idiots
I know the world is full of stupid people, but why do I feel like I’m cursed to meet and greet each of them individually.
In Las Vegas the phrase “lost tourist” is the ultimate redundancy. But today they all seemed to be on the road. I got behind a motorhome that probably had more glass than my house, that was being driven by someone who drove by braile, one set of tires on the little white bumps at all times. The real problem was deciding which bumps he was driving by at any given moment. When I got around him I saw he was drinking coffee and talking to a woman, who was showing him something in the paper.
When I got done with some errands I stopped by the grocery store and guess who was there, I couldn’t help myself, I walked over and introduced myself and asked if they were lost, I gave them directions and then I asked how long their seeing eye dog had been sick. They looked confused and I explained that they drove like they were blind and were a major hazard on the road. The man got huffy and told me he was a retired major yada yada yada, and how he knew the sheriff and could have me arrested. I laughed and told him I was the sheriff’s son and that my father had never mentioned him, but we could get it all straightened out when he was stopped for DUI, because I had called him in as a possible. They both hurried into the motorhome and shut the door, I sat and watched as they drove off, running over a curb on the way out of the parking lot.
That motorhome is large enough so it may not be allowed on the dam, I don’t know the rules.
I honestly hope they get where they’re going without causing a major accident.
The sheriff is much too young to be my father, but before I got back in my car, a man walked up and asked if I was really the sheriff’s son because he had some kind of major crime to report, I told him that in this town he could trust the 911 operators. this seemed to make him feel better. He seemed completely rational and was apparently cold sober and I not only don’t know what the alledged crime was and I really could care less.
I’m home it’s quiet and the cats suddenly seem smarter than a lot of people I’ve seen lately.
I understand why some people refuse to leave their house.
