So here goes . . .

Anyone who knows me knows I have an opinion and/or thought about most anything and everything - and now a place to share those!! WATCH OUT! I've always thought it would be fun to have a rants and rave column in a newspaper. I could do a dandy job coming up with all sorts of interesting tidbits that either made me happy, made me cry, or really made me mad! For starters, I would begin my rant section with those who don't drive with their headlights on in a torrential downpour. Being from Washington, we have torrential downpours quite often - really during each and every season - and never fail as I'm squinting through the rain on my windshield that my wipers on fast can hardly keep up with, there is THAT car. You know that car. It's grey, some shade of beige or gold, or white. Next time you're driving in a monsoon, take a split second look around and you will see that the visible red, green, or blue car is driving with their headlights on; however, the not-so-visible grey, white, or beige car is toodling along apparently absolutely oblivious to the fact that a grey car + grey pavement + grey sky + grey rain = an accident just inches from happening. People, really?!?!?!? So in closing, let me STRONGLY encourage all of you drivers (I suppose no matter the color, but especially those in light colored vehicles!) to turn on your headlights, especially in a rainstorm. {Kallie steps off of her soap box.}



And there begins my fabulous new place to leave all of my random thoughts, my wishes, my hopes, my rants, and my raves or whatever new thought or debacle is taking up precious space in my over-filled brain!!
