And never forget your towel!
"Towel Day is celebrated every May 25 as a tribute by fans of the late author Douglas Adams.[1] On this day, fans carry a towel with them to demonstrate their love for the books and the author. The commemoration was first held in 2001, two weeks after Adams' death on May 11, 2001.[2] The towel is a reference to Adams's popular science fiction comedy series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Florida. Waiting. Just waiting. Housekeeping hasn't come yet today. When they do I will not respond to them knocking. I will wait for them to enter my room and then scream at the top of my lungs "Get the quack out of my room!!!!"

OK, here's my public service announcement.... I just stopped to help at a wreck on the way home from work. This is the second one this year that I've witnessed and stopped to help with (the only two I've really ever seen). The first wreck was a bloody nasty mess because the woman didn't have her seatbelt on and hit a culvert in a ditch very forcefully. Today when I saw this wreck it looked worse than the first. The girl overcorrected when passing a car, went off the road, got airborn twice, jumped an embankment, took the top off of a twiggy tree and did a 180 before resting in a ditch with waist deep water. This girl had her seatbelt on and lived thru this accident. She was helped out of the car and up the embankment. I called 911 and kept talking to her trying to keep her conscious. She appeared to have broken legs. I know there is always the possability of internal injury but she stayed conscious during the ordeal.
The moral of the story.... Please Wear Your Seatbelts!!!!!
I know that sounds goofy, custie, or like your mom but I'm serious. Please wear seatbelts.... I want us all to make it to many Roos to come!

Definitely, people! My seat belt is the only thing that saved my stupid life in a recent wreck... and would have saved a few people I graduated with, had they been wearing them (different accident)... It isn't that hard, just put it on!
A friend was driving a massive truck and it flipped several times, ejecting him from the truck (he wasn't wearing his seatbelt). They estimate the truck rolled four or five times through a sugar cane field, and one of those times it rolled right on top of him -- and he saw it coming. Fortunately, he's an ex-pro football player and a large guy, but it broke all of his ribs and shattered his pelvis, not to mention other bones. He's been in several medically-induced comas, has several years of therapy ahead of him and he's lucky to be alive.

I'm down to -3, but since it's not karma I don't really care that much. I liked having my karma at -1. My heady points should be like -50 or something.
