Know Your Surroundings!

So I'm driving home today from picking up dinner and as I'm driving down the freeway, a pickup goes flying past me at what I assume is somewhere in the 80-90 range. Usually I'll shake my fist and shout obscenities at this idiot, but today I noticed a glowing white beacon of hope, a Highway Patrol officer. This idiot sees the officer and slams on his breaks bringing himself down to the required 65.

Most stories will end there with everyone driving on their merry way home, but captain moronic decides he wants to be even dumber. The patrol officer saw the driver when he was driving towards him and makes silent chase, no lights, no siren, just following. In this situation, I would drive cautiously home, doing 50-60 to avoid any problems. Here's where it gets good.

The officer was tailgating the driver pretty close, I'm sure if they were parked, you wouldnt be able to walk between them, after about a mile of this, bonehead driver starts getting uncomfortable and changes lanes, guess who follows? He then changes lanes again, officer follows. Our genius driver decides his best course of action would be to speed up, pass the driver in the lane to the right of him, and then change lanes. After doing this, the driver in the middle lane knows what's going on, slows down, and allows the officer to change lanes with our lovable moron.

The officer decides that this was enough, on come the lights and to the side of the freeway they go. Moral of the Story ladies and gents? If you have a guilty concience, don't show it by avoiding arrest. That $110 is now likely coming with some overnight jail time.

3 Bed/2.5 Bath/No Pizza

There are certain things that should be required to disclose when you purchase or lease a house. Things like murders, Indian burial grounds, lack of pizza delivery, things of that nature. Most people assume that as long as you are in the area of a city as large as Phoenix, you would be able to have pizza delivered to your house, not this house!

No, we don't have a vicious dog that will attack everyone so the pizza guy stays away, we're just lucky enough to live in the 3 square miles of northern phoenix that does not have a pizza place around. Check this out, it is a map of the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area, north of Loop 101, with Domino's Pizza locations marked.



As you can see, the locations are quite wide-spread to allow maximum pizza delivery location, now check this out, this is the same picture, only with their delivery route's boxed.




Ok, so I understand Phoenix is a big ass city and we cant expect 1 store to cover 20 miles, but would it kill a driver to possibly drive an extra mile or so to deliver a pizza? It would be moronic to put a Dominos along Carefree HWY/I-17 Junction to service possibly 400 people at best, but cmon, we order pizza for the convenience, if I need to drive to get my pizza, it really loses it's luster. And the best part, this isn't just Domino's, all pizza places like to build right next to eachother, so I guess the driver can work for 3 different places in the same night or something, so no pizza delivery, whatsoever!
