The Daily Whine List

What is generally running around unfettered in my cranium. Or the struggles of a sometimes manic-depressive Buddhist. That's Captain Sarcastic to you.

LAST DAY AT SHELL.
Ok so here it is the last gas station based entry. For the record, if you are too old or infirm to check your own oil or tire pressure, than you are TOO FUCKING OLD TO DRIVE. Had a lady today who couldnt even open up her own hood because she could barely move. Well than give up the keys. One day it will happen to all of us. For me, as a diabetic, I will probably go blind, so I'm not being insensitive. Unless, of course, I am talking about the dingbat customer who comes in prepays and then moves to a different pump. It's either that or she spends 30 minutes talking about her dogs when no-one is listening. I just walk out of the room.

Well the news of the week and for many weeks to come is the destruction of New Orleans. They're now saying it will be months before they get power back and even longer before people can return. This kind of destruction goes past anything I've experienced in my 38 years, including 9/11. The devastation of 9/11, which took place on about 16 acres, pales in comparison (not to take anything away from that. The scenes coming from the Gulf Coast are quite literally apocolyptic.

I will be continuing this blog once I arrive in Albuquerque. I imagine it will get more topical as I am going back to college in January.

That-that-that's all folks.
