As you found out recently, I don’t get to play with knives anymore. Well the other night I was washing the dishes and look what I happened to be cleaning all at the same time. 
That’s right, sharp knives! I managed to escape unscathed this time, but join me next week when I wash more sharp knives!

Yesterday, as I was driving home from work, I got stuck behind a slow moving car. This is a major pet peeve of mine, so I go to make my move to pass and guess what they do…speed up. Now the vain is starting to show up in my forehead. I was coming up to an on-ramp going from one freeway to another. It’s a big sweeping turn that at the end gets really sharp. It can be daunting if you’re not expecting it.
Usually I can take this turn at 80-85 no problem. I could go faster if not for that sharp radius change at the end. I was on the inside lane going for the pass and I’m doing around 65mph and I can feel my car losing grip. If you know cars, at this point, you do not lift off the throttle, you keep going unless you want the rear end to swing out. At this point I passed this guy, but that was no longer a problem.
I start to drift into the other lane, fortunately there were no cars around. I kept it going and ended up in the other lane. If I’d been in the other lane, I would’ve ended up in the barrier wall or more traffic. So what made the 65mph turn a problem? Yeah, I have snow tires on right now. My bad.
