"I Can Hear the Laughs" Freedy Johnston
Listening to: Son Volt "Straightaways"
Who would have thought that sitting around eating would make me put on 15 pounds? Certainly not me. Oh well, at least I'm not dead or in jail.
Driving for 6 hours by onesself is not something I would reccomend to most people, but I happened to enjoy my trek up to Hibbing, MN (Motto: Right Wing Talk? We've Got It!) for driving instruction. It seems police officers need to know how to turn at high speeds in their squad cars. Personally, I think everyone should go through a day of driving training like my class had the other day. Anticipation and reaction are key to any driver, not just cops. But alas, no deal.
But back to my drive. Highway 169 north goes through Minnesota, and past the coolest lake I've ever seen; Lake Mille Lacs. You can't see across it. It's like the ocean, only there are more drunk anglers in the northland.
I heard recently that Planned Parenthood regularily refuses to report 13 year old girls who have gotten pregnant from men ages 25 and up. I happen to be a fan of Planned Parenthood, but no matter what your reasons are, 13 year old girls shouldn't be having sex with men that old. They should be having sex with 15 year old boys, like good natured kids.
The reporter of this trend was the leader of a furious anti-choice group though. He referred to Planned Parenthood as "The abortion industry." It just makes me picture a large factory with smokestacks and dead fetuses lying around the lawn. Now that is effective rhetoric. We're lucky it's not true.
Good Advice for the Day: If you see a burning propane tank, turn and run like Hell (c. One of my Skills instructors).
Finally, because summer is soon here, and the heat index is rising, I have advice for those black-wearing, death-loving goth kids. Give it up, because...
I'm Ken Feucht, and I am staying out of cars for a while.
