I swore I would never blog about politics. I left that topic to the people who have absolutely no idea how to run a country. Besides I have enough in my life that makes me crazy and I’d surely offend someone — I do such a good job at home.
But this morning on the road, I saw a red fiery Corvette doing 35 mph on the highway. Talk about misuse of funds. If that were my car, all you would see is a blur. The only evidence that I’d been there would be the uncontainable excitement displayed on one of those irritating flashing speed signs. 
(I’ll never see this one in reality, but it was so punny I had to include the image.) All the blatant deterrent does for me is motivate me to new heights. My goal in life is to make one explode as I zoom past. Hard, considering I spend half my life in a four cylinder car. But, seriously, not getting the most out of that flashy red car is so wrong. It’s like going on a date (when the guy pays) and ordering a dinner salad.
Don’t get me started. Talk about abuse of power. Television manufacturers and the makers of all the extra doodads they talk you into buying — the players, the audio equipment, the cable box. It’s gotta be a conspiracy. The power buttons are never in the same spot. Or even, same general area. They certainly don’t cater to those visually impaired. I once tried to turn off my DVD player from one of the gazillion remotes in the room when I wasn’t wearing glasses. Who can read those buttons! I turned on the blender in the other room. I’ll bet the manufacturer of the remote is the same company that printed the Lord’s Prayer on the head of a pin.
Printers are bad, too. Their power switches are hidden, under the third compartment door from the left, or the right depending on the model.
That brings up left wingers and right wingers. (Or should I say left and right ringers?) Cell phones are the worst. Every time I get a new cell phone, you can bet I’m going to hang up on someone during the learning curve. There should be a law stating where to place access to the phone pad, the address book, and the volume? I attempted to take a snapshot of my grandson with my new phone. Before I pushed the right button I had to play statues with him. I’d spin him a round and yell, “Freeze” in order to give me time to find the right button to snap for the picture.
Okay, you guessed it. We’re probably considered a little on the conservative side in our house. You can tell by the leftover clothing left laying aorund. Well, at least, it makes for a good getup for Halloween.

Penny,
While you are working to get our devises made consistent — could you do something about the card swipers at the market and everywhere else? No 2 are a like and it is just wrong! ~Kc
