While on a run to grab some food today I watched in amazement as a policeman chased a car through a parking lot onto the road I was driving right in front of me. It did not look like the guy was going to stop. When he did I could see that his tag was expired by three months I guess thats why the cop was chasing him, but why run from the cop if that is all you had wrong, pay the fine get your tags caught up and go on about your business. I would not of been surprised to see this dumb ass wind up in handcuffs and all for an expired tag. To my amazement it was not a red car, but I BET THE CAR AT HOME IS RED.

Red cars
In some of my earlier blog posts I have denounced the red car as the vehicle of demons and idiots, I want to upgrade that to anyone who would drive a red car is a complete and total idiot. I have no idea who invented red paint but I fear his soul is in a very hot place right now. Yesterday while on my way to the bank I noticed a policeman had a red car pulled over and the driver in handcuffs, for the officers safety I am sure. A few miles down the road half the interstate was closed due to an accident involving 5 yes count them 5 red cars, this is one day on one road and I am sure they did not stage the drama for my enjoyment. To close DO NOT drive red cars, DO NOT ride in red cars, DO NOT drive next to red cars, and finally DO NOT park next to red cars. These tips are for your own safety and the health of your car, let us hope it is not red.
Long lines
The long lines at the gas stations have begun to ease up a bit, some of the lines over the weekend had waits of over 2 hours. I am not a real fan of waiting for anything let alone gasoline in a vehicle with no air conditioning. Now the AAA is saying that only 30% of the stations here do not have gasoline and the lines are very small compared to the line from the weekend. It looks like everything may be back to normal here by the start of the weekend. I remember the gas rationing that we had in 1973 in Oklahoma only one station in our little town and almost no gasoline I really hope we never get to that level again although it seemed like we were headed that way the last few eeks here in Nashville. With no gasoline at a lot of gas stations and long lines at the ones who did have gasoline.
Long lines
As I went to fill up my truck with gasoline yesterday I was horrified to see long lines at every gas station, and some gas stations were already out of gasoline. I was forced to fill up with premium gasoline where I normally buy regular gasoline. The station we were at was already out of regular and mid grade gasoline. The price today at spots here in Nashville is approaching $5.00 a gallon, if you can find gasoline to buy that is. Today we are going to go out and get some paper products so we do not run out if there is a shortage. We filled up some tubs with food a couple of months ago just in case of something just like this was to occur.
Auto loan
MY oldest son is headed to college this fall and he will be needing a car to get around campus and to get back and forth to home so his mom can do his laundry. He has a job when he gets to school so an auto loan will not be a problem for him to handle.
The biggest problem he has is bad credit he got himself a credit card while in high school and could not keep the payments current, so he will have to find some Bad Credit Car Loans to select from. It is not the end of the world if he keeps his payments current and up to date he can trade in the car he gets this year for a better model and then he will be off and running.
