Two Random Things

- I had a near death experience this morning, caused by one of the people who is supposed to protect us. A police officer in an unmarked car swerved into my lane, almost hitting me, then continued to cross two other lanes of traffic narrowly missing a couple cars. I was pretty angry until I realized his tire had blown and he was out of control! He managed to get onto the shoulder on the right hand side and finally stop but it was scary for a minute there.

- I was at the Spokane Teachers Credit Union in Liberty Lake recently when I noticed that, not only do they have a disabled parking spot right in front of the building, but also one marked something like 'Reserved for alternative fuel burning vehicles.' Hey cool- the people driving electric cars get a head start on their banking!
