Something's afoot in Vancouver

-
This post has nothing to do with me, Wayne, Little P, or anything remotely related to us. But I did find this article very interesting.

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/another-foot-washes-ashore-vancouver-continuing-eerie-trend-021754311.html

"...the latest in roughly dozen such cases since 2007"
"Police so far have no theories about how or why the foot ended up in the water"
"In previous cases, police have said it appeared the feet separated from bodies naturally in the water and foul play wasn't suspected" 
Let me get this straight. 
1)No one knows why the feet were found in the water. 
2)This has happened about 12 times in the last 4 years. 
3)Human feet 'naturally' separate from their owner's body in water. Interesting fact. 
4)Foul play is not suspected.

Hmm, so another day, another foot in Vancouver. A human foot is bobbing along the shore and it's normal? I have to assume then that there is also a body that this foot belongs to, and it is also bobbing along somewhere in the ocean, and no one is concerned about it? So if between 6 and 12 bodies floated ashore in Vancouver, it would be a normal occurrence and no foul play would be expected? Do feet just happen to wash ashore randomly in other bay cities? Why haven't they been finding any heads, hands, or other parts to these bodies?

I think this story is extremely interesting, if a bit morbid. If you are as engrossed as I am, you would also enjoy the Wikipedia article about the events. It offers much more information, and feasible theories as to why.

Notes on Flying

-
Obnoxious things about flying (Other than TSA, because I'm not looking to write a book, y'all) When you step inside an airport, normal, everyday, good people become psycho zombies. Suddenly people are serious, busy (even when waiting hours for a flight), stressed, and very, very important. This isn't Air Force One, folks. Join the Que: Lines Everything must be done in a line. Are you in the right line? Did you move up in the line the socially acceptable distance - not too close though, we all need personal space. You won't get your Starbucks unless you stay in the line. Get in line! No not the standby line. You boarded with group B?!!! Your boarding pass clearly states Group C!!!! Now you have to be re-ticketed. Can I see you ID for the eleventh time? If you have survived going through security you're most likely going to get on the airplane. Just relax. The unwritten rules of flying You may not smile or give any indication of having a good time....

Country Bumpkin - driving in the city

-
When I was a kid........ Growing up as country bumkins, my brothers and I had a quite a few things in the world waiting for us to discover. One of them was the fact that many interstates have more than 2 lanes. One year we took a road trip to Denver, six hours away. We were flabbergasted when the interstate turned into 3, 4, and 5 lanes! And all the cars! There is one behind us AND one in front of us! Hey, let's wave at them! Wait, better yet, let's make faces out the back window! Wow, so much fun. At one point, I remember we decided to act like we had never seen cars, buildings, and signs before. I don't think we had to act much. Well, low and behold, when I graduated from high school, I moved to the big metropolis of Rapid City, South Dakota. I have never really loved driving, and to add to my lack of confidence,  merging, stoplights, and one way streets (don't ask...) were all new to me. My greatest fear was having to take the interstate. Which meant I...
