ESCALADES AND OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST

MARCH 15TH THURSDAY
INDIDO CA

I THINK THEY MUST GIVE AWAY AN ESCALADE FOR FREE WITH EVERY PRIUS. TODAY AT WALGREENS THERE 3 SIDE BY SIDE, THERE ARE GANGS OF THEM ON THE ROAD AND GAS IS $4.45 A GALLON.

I THINK TURN SIGNALS ARE AN ACCESSORY AS THEY ARE NOT USED SO MUCH.
STOP SIGNS SEEM TO BE CAUTION ONLY SIGNS AND BE CAREFUL OF THE DOUBLE LEFT TURN LANES, SOME FOLKS USE BOTH LANES.
ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN IS DRIVING THROUGH A MALL PARKING LOT, SOME OF OUR OLDER DRIVERS CAN'T TURN THEIR HEADS SO WELL AND JUST PROCEED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT KNOWING FULL WELL NO ONE WILL HIT THEM.
PEDESTRIANS HOWEVER FOR THE MOST PART DO OBEY THE WALK DON'T WALK SIGNS.

CAR ALARMS ARE A BIG ANNOYANCE, BEEP, BEEP AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHING TO SET AND BEEP TO CANCEL IT, THEY EVEN DO IT WHEN THEY ARE JUST 15 FEET AWAY. THEY DO IT AT MIDNIGHT AND 6 IN THE MORNING. PEOPLE, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE NOISE UNLESS YOU ARE TRYING TO IMPRESS SOMEONE THAT YOU HAVE AN ALARM, GUESS WHAT MOST EVERYONE HAS ONE AND YOU KNOW WHAT = THEY ARE USELESS, [THE ALARMS I MEAN] NOBODY EVEN LOOKS WHEN AN ALARM GOES OFF BECAUSE IT IS USUALLY A FALSE ALARM BY THE OWNER THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
IF YOU ARE THAT WORIED ABOUT SOMEONE STEELING YOUR INSURED CAR = GET LOJACK INSTALLED.

WE HEAD HOME ON SUNDAY AND WE NEED TO DO A LITTLE SHOPPING TO STOCK UP FOR THAT TRIP. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE WASHED AGAIN AND SO DOES THE COACH. I WILL HAVE THE CAR DONE BUT I MAY WAIT TO HAVE THE COACH DONE CLOSER TO HOME. BY CLOSER I MEAN AT THE BLUE BEACON TRUCK AND MOTORCOACH WASH IN CREET ILLINOIS. THERE MAY BE A SERVICE THAT WILL COME TO THE HOUSE AND WASH IT BUT I HAVE NOT CHECKED THAT OUT. MAYBE SOME ROTARY MEMBERS WILL DO IT FOR PIZZA & BEER???

THIS HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT WEEK FOR THREE OF OUR ROTARY CLUB MEMBERS, NORM & LIZ ZIENTY LOST NORMS MOM AND MARY ENZOR LOST HER MOM AS WELL. OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO EVERYONE.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THOSE THAT HAVE JOIND THE BLOG AND WOULD LIKE TO INVITE OTHERS TO JOIN AS WELL AS TO MAKE COMMENTS ON THE BLOG. IT HAS BEEN FUN WRITING IT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO ANY TIME WE ARE ON THE ROAD.
