That dog's a teenage boy! He spends as much time looking out the side window as he does looking where he's going.

Good Gawd, I remember that whole year our younger son was 15 and I had to ride everywhere with him. I still have nightmares. ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHH... Oh, sorry. Off topic.

Well, I asked my dog to take me somewhere today and he told me no, he's only a retriever.

Well if you can get a ride, your dog can come and pick you up.

Forget the retriever, I like to think of my self as a real go getter. In the morning I take my wife to work and later I go get her.

Sort of, but that wasn't my first dog. When I was a kid I had a 3 legged dog named "Skippy".

Topic veers farther off course...

I thought Eileen was Ben Dover's wife's name. :-)

[QUOTE=Indydealmaker;975362]It is not uncommon in Florida for the county to steer most road construction to one favored contractor.

That contractor starts work on one stretch, then moves on to another and then another. He goes through the funds and cannot afford to finish what he starts, so the county awards another contract so he can use the funds for previously awarded and unfinished work. And so on and so on.

It is a never ending cycle of ineptitude entirely endorsed by elected officials.[/QUOTE]

But, doesn't that occur everywhere???
