Another Wednesday Update

Well well well, it seems that another week has passed without me updating. This stems from a couple of reasons: I've been sick and I've been sick and lazy and sick and doing my Stanford Application. So let's see: Friday I went shopping w/ Romer, Greg, Nathan and Alex. We didn't really buy a whole lot. Saturday I had to work, had the big band dance, and lanned at Alex Reback's. Sunday I got sick, slept, watched the Packer game, did lots of homework, and that was that. Monday I was sick but made it to school. Tuesday I did not. Today I made it to school but was pretty hopped up on cold medications. Also, I'd gotten ~18 hrs of sleep on Tues. so I was in one of those half-awake half-sleeping states.

Kerry's Rants
Ok, this first one is about the recent car crash involving Will Endicott, Troy Seals, Joel Coyne, and his girlfriend. For those of you who don't know, Will was high / drunk and pulled out in front of someone (Seals was riding shotty) causing him to be rear-ended coming out of Subway. When Will was rear ended, he crossed over into the oncoming lane of traffic and hit Joel Coyne and his girlfriend, both of whom were not wearing seatbelts. First off, let me ask what exactly was Troy doing with Will if he knew Will was high / drunk? His brother died in a drunk driving crash. Has he learned nothing? Second, why weren't Joel and his Girlfriend wearing seatbelts? With the recent wave of teens dying in drunk driving incidents, you would think they would have had the sense at least to buckle up. Joel's girlfriend broke her nose, apparently. I do not feel too sorry for her becuase of her negligence. Now, perhaps I'm being a little harsh here, so if I am, please let me know.

My second rant concerns the new Hummer2. I just saw that our neighbor down the street bought one. All I can say is: how can you possibly justify guzzling 5x as much gas as a Hybrid or 3.7x as much as a Volkswagen TDI? It is ridiculous to drive a H2. You have no need for it. Don't buy one because it is "cool." Oh, and maybe if you complained about the gas mileage a little bit more, car companies would actually put some effort into improving the gas mileage. Did you know that gas mileage of all cars today can be improved by 20-40% without any appreciable increast in cost to the consumer?
