Wow is that a plowed field or a gravel township road?

Kinda hard to imagine having to drive through such a ‘plowed field’ just to get to town. Ah, only in Sibley Township,Sibley County Minnesota could we pay for such a convenience.

I like the township supervisor’s advice. That we should drive to the west, a few miles totally out of our way until they take down the road closed signs. Not to mention to the west is another township.

Good work boys. Maybe you can plow the furrow down the middle of our road before the next big downpour like you always do…

Expensive Plow

4. January 2008 | Category Amusing, Observations

I finally got a gander at the fabled snowplow bearing Hummer in Gaylord,Mn of all places.

Hummer-plow

Why o’ why does the world need a snowplow on a $60,000 Luxury SUV? Does not a shitty old rusted pickup truck not do the same job?

This vehicle blew my mind.

Short engineers

15. October 2007 | Category Observations

How is it that short people occupy the most important jobs in the world? How many years did it take the brilliance of General Motors engineers to realize that not all people in the world can see the high beam light on their vehicle when the steering wheel is tilted upwards and is fully blocked from the view of the driver?

I assume this is only a moot point if you’re under oh, say, 5′8″ and don’t need to tilt anything other than the mirrors to drive to heart’s content.

I’m not placing all the blame on GM. The rest of the world continues to discriminate against those NOT vertically challenged in an endless myriad of countless ways…. some of which I may get to in time….

Stuff

16. September 2007 | Category Observations

Another way to resist acquiring stuff is to think of the overall cost of owning it. The purchase price is just the beginning. You’re going to have to think about that thing for years—perhaps for the rest of your life. Every thing you own takes energy away from you. Some give more than they take. Those are the only things worth having.

Excerpted from Paul Graham
