Amazing idiot, down a coop, let’s go to Greece

Last night on my way home from work I was on Goodlette Frank Road, a major artery with 3 lanes per side.  All of a sudden I see a bunch of cars in front of me nose diving as they are slamming on their brakes.  In front of these vehicles is a straight body delivery truck with it’s BACK UP LIGHTS ON.  The truck was about 50 feet past the entrance to a development that they evidently missed the turn for.  Instead of going to the next intersection and turning around, this moron thought coming to a dead stop in rush hour traffic and backing up made much more sense.  It was fcking unbelievable.

I was amazed that there wasn’t an accident.  As I swung around the guy he got a generous serving of horn along with a big thumbs up.  I wish I paid more attention to what company he was delivering for so I could have let them know they have an unadulterated moron behind the wheel of one of their vehicles.

Yesterday we sold off one of our excess chicken coops, selling the small one we bought at Rural King about a month ago.  We sold it for 125 bucks meaning it only costs us 70 bucks to use it for a month, a good deal.  I am still holding on to the chicken tractor.  It’s rugged design will allow it to sit unused in the yard behind the coop without significant degradation.  I think it would be good to have secondary housing available in case we have to separate chickens for some reason in the future.

Hey who wants to go on a Greek vacation?  It seems pretty amazing that a non-3rd world country has managed to find it’s way into such a dire financial situation.  It sounds like a coin flip as far as what is going to happen next.  If Greece gives a big middle finger to the banks and drops out of the EU not only will it be chaotic within it’s own borders, it could very well set a precedent for other runts in the EU that are having severe debt issues to follow suit.
