Another Reason to Remember the Fifth of November

Remember, remember the fifth of November; of gunpowder treason and plot.  I see on reason that gunpowder treason should ever be forgot...

The Fifth of November recently passed.  Guy Fawkes aside, in our household the Fifth of November will also mark the day that our oldest daughter got her driving permit.  Mother Hen took Chick 1.0 (henceforth known as, “Bad Wolf”) to the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles and the Big Bad Wolf passed!  It’s sort of a bittersweet situation; while it is great that she is moving forward it is still another punch in the whole “ADULT” card and another reminder that my little girl is really a woman.  She goes to college and has a part-time job.  Lord knows, Chicks 2.0 & 3.0 will be happy when she does get that license.  Chick 2.0 has plans and designs on having her sister drive her and Chick 3.0 all over the place.  Further, I believe that Chick 2.0 will want to be at DMV on the eve of her 16^th birthday just to wait in line so when the doors open she can rush to the counter shouting, “I’m HERE! – I’M HERE!”  For now, however, one extra driver in the family is enough.

We took her out driving and she did great.  

God bless you and keep you Amanda.  You ROCK out loud.     

FOOD on the HIGHWAY

The top three are Coffee, Hot Soup, and Tacos. And here I was pulling for Fondue, Lobster, or Alaskan King Crab legs.

Now Behold “The 10 Most Dangerous Foods to Eat While Driving” from Wired Magazine: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/07/dangerous-foods/. Insure.com has the information presented in a clear, concise fashion too: http://www.insure.com/car-insurance/driver-distractions.html.

People do stupid things. It’s like a moth to the flame. It’s just what we do and driving is no different. It is for this reason that I am petitioning congress to have the purchase and consumption of an Extra Value Meal part of the standardized driving test of these United States. One should be able to safely suck down a cheeseburger on the way from Point A to Point B. If this is too much to ask then you don’t deserve a license. You can join the fight by donating heavily to the cause as often as possible; please make checks payable to Evil Chicken. Together we CAN make a difference.

Gentle Reader; never forget the most dangerous part of a car is the nut behind the wheel.
