No Smiling for Driver's License Allowed

I mentioned this little nugget to a couple of people, and no one believed me. Yes, DMVs around the country are stopping people from smiling for their Driver's License picture. It has something to do about facial recognition software, but still. I always get comments from close friends because I don't smile for my picture. I used to tell them that I hate getting my picture taken, but now I can tell them I doing my part to help combat crime!

Gas Prices

Does this suck or what? We are damned if we do, and damned if we don't! The global economy is still shrinking, but they are hoarding gas in anticipation of a recovery later this year. So, we took a pay cut (or got laid off) your job is on the bubble, you are trying to save money as best you can, and you still get screwed at the pump!

I am very interested in the development of electric cars, hybrids, etc (although they are not going to be the end all, be all, like most of the "experts" are saying i.e. where does an apartment dweller plug their car in???) if for no other reason then to eliminate this b.s. we have to put up with.

California Schools

Hey, California is bankrupt (almost anyway) they can not balance their budget, their school system is consistently ranked in the bottom of the 50 states in areas like reading, writing, arithmetic (you know, what you are SUPPOSED to learn in school) and instead they are focusing on teaching students as young as kindergarten about the gay lifestyle.

Now, I have absolutely nothing against a person's sexual orientation, but I do have something against wasting the taxpayer's money teaching issues that are a parent's responsibility.

As I read more about about how screwed up the California school system is, I no longer wonder why the lawmakers can not balance their budget. They were never taught simple math!

Go back to the basics, California, and teach the children the necessary skills to compete in the global marketplace!
