Perhaps Under Weird

As I was listening to Mike Brown on the radio this afternoon, he spoke what what seemed to me impossible. Yet,I confirmed it as soon as I could by an ABC news internet article.

It would seem a high school student pulled out a cell phone in a locker room and began recording images of the opposite sex. In this day and age, revolting maybe, but hardly unusual.

Well, there are two more things. Student tacking the video was a girl and her parents are suing the boys for sexual harassment.

It just doesn’t get weirder than that. On the other hand…. 2 or 3 more decades… Might be common place.

I have looked at and evaluated the new roundabout they built as part of the approach to the approach to the I55 bridge. I figured it will last round about 5 years, or likely less.

The problem is threefold. It will be a traffic snarl. It will cause an increase in insurance premiums, as there will be an increase in fender-benders. Certainly, it will be the target of complaints, especially by truckers.

And, oh yes, it will be yet another thing to draw nationwide attention. Essentially, it will become known as the Mid-South, well… I suspect they will have many terms for it that I don’t use.

Now, the question is: Do they replace it with something better or worse? Of course, the cost will also be a consideration.

I wonder if the financial implications played a significant role in the decision-making process this time, potentially influencing the overall strategy and outcome of the situation at hand.
