Can't Drive 55
The speed limit in California is 55 mph while towing. However, it's a poorly enforced limit. But still, I'd say some luck was involved in my drive down 101 last night. Just south of Salinas I was stretching it out in an empty patch of road to close the gap with a clump of cars. When I spotted the CHP cruiser in the side view mirror, I was doing 80. I lifted and was going 65 by the time he passed me.
A couple hours south of Salinas I was passed again by a different cruiser. I was doing 70 when I spotted him. A bit later, I saw him writing a ticket for a German car.
I guess a Ford just ain't that excitin' to write up.
Just say no to the Inquisition.

Big Comapanies R Teh Awesome
When it comes to technical stuff, I tend not to read manuals -- except as a last resort. If I have to read a manual to use a website, to operate a camcorder, to print a document, then something is wrong. To the designer of such things: Ur doin it rong!
So, I need to print out raise notifications as part of my job with my very large employer. I flail around with the website (why didn't they just attach PDFs in the first place???) for about 15 minutes. Then I search my email for instructions. They have -- I shit you not -- an 18 page power point with diagrams with arrows pointing to stuff and text boxes describing what they're point at.
I need an eighteen page power point to tell me how print three pages.
Feel teh awesomeness!
