(dream)

I dreamt that 104 KRBE was switched to a different format and stuff because Sam Malone was just making too much money and the station couldn't afford him anymore.

Rain

5:57am CST Thursday 16 November 2000

It's been raining for some hours I think and it's pouring so astonishingly much, like a monsoon for Houston. There is almost no lightning; I've only seen it once in about 5 minutes. There is almost no wind. Just dense thick enormous rain.

6:10am

I just checked our attic for leaks. There are none and I am thankful.

The street is almost flooded all the way across. There's a manhole cover on the street essentially right outside my window, and the street is a bit lower there. The water flowing along the curb therefore extends further across the stree there and is within a foot of reaching the water along the other curb.

Last time I wrote about super dense rain, the curb water didn't extend past the manhole cover. Today it does.

6:13am

Well, that was short lived; the water was receeded so that it no longer covers the entire manhole.

8:37am

Now the sky looms with verigated clouds, but no rain right now.

I have a few of the funnies that our stand up comic said yesterday during comedy defensive driving:

"Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone *actually* got a ticket every time they were speeding? I'd be teaching this course in the Astrodome.."

"Yeah, I was at Southwest Texas for a few years, and I left there with a .5 GPA.... I had half an F."

"When I lived in Virginia, I found out they have 'points' that they add to your diriver's license if you get a ticket. Just before I got enough points to lose my license, I moved back to Texas."

"Some people try to go through the blinking red light when it's off."

On a long roadtrip:

"Dad, I gotta go!"

"Grab the 2 liter."

"Did I say that out loud? I don't mean to brag."

- - - -

Those were some of the funnies from last night. I didn't write any more from tonight. At the very end, during the test, some people were all, "what? what?" and missing questions and all sorts of ridiculous stuff. It made me think, "you have a driver's license?"

What really got me today was the video on Road Rage. I am sure I'd never engage someone physically, but I do get mad and yell easily while driving. One of the guys interviewed said that after he adjusted his thinking / emotions, driving was a much more pleasant experience for him. Maybe I'll do that.
