Why do non-handicapped people use bathroom stalls for the handicapped?

That's a bit of a rhetorical question. I suppose it's one of my pet-peeves, especially down here in the Valley. Are these people going to let those that are physically handicapped use the stalls when they need to go? Geez guys.

Lots of rudeness down here in Texico. People place shopping carts behind other vehicles so they can be lazy and not return the carts to a nearby stand. Cars don't yield to pedestrians in pedestrian zones. Four to six cars continue after the light's already turned red. Drivers continually cut others, that have the right of way, off. Students park in the faculty and staff lots, even when there aren't enough spaces for faculty and staff. Manners people!

Am I going to get this job or not?!

No new news on that potential job yet. Very disappointing. When I received an e-mail this past Monday, the person with whom I was corresponding said that he would let me know one way or another within a couple days. Folks, the last time I checked, a couple means "two," but even understanding it in a more liberal fashion, it's been more than a few days. If I am going to be rejected, I'd rather be told now, not later. If the news is good, I need to know when to pack my bags for a short visit. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!

"Alias," the Complete First Season, is only $46

Manda & Johnny have gotten us hooked on "Alias." We watched the pilot episode, the very first show in the first season, yesterday night. I've been trying to figure out how we're going to watch the rest of it. Manda & Johnny may be moving any day now, so we can't just borrow their copy of the first season. Manda suggested renting it, but usually video stores won't let you rent out the entire first season for four or five bucks. You only get one or two discs at a time. So, I was entertaining the possibility of buying the first season . . . until I looked at the cost. The cheapest price I found, for a new copy, is on Amazon.com for a whopping $46. Geesh.
