This'n'That; February Twenty-Fifth #2; Surprised!

I Was Impressed!
    Honestly?  I was sure the men in the Daytona field would invoke the "rubbin' rule" right-off-the-bat, introducing Danica Patrick to the phrase "if ya ain't rubbin,' ya ain't racin'" before the first lap was complete.  To their credit they didn't intentionally try to put her in garage!  I didn't think Ms Patrick would fare very well in The Daytona 500, given what I'd watched over the course of the past season.  Then, she always seemed to end up in the middle of the pack at best.  I'm now hopeful that she'll have a good showing at each of the upcoming races she enters.
Congrats to Ms Patrick as well as Jimmy Johnson!!
BTW:  Did ya hear James Franco announcing the start of the race; "Drivers, and Danica....."
What a disservice to Danica Patrick!!
The NASCAR fan-base should demand that Mr Franco have his tongue pad-locked to his lower jaw!!
Comments, anyone?

This'n'That; December Thirteenth #1; Lowes

I Know From Whence I Speak
    As a former Lowes' employee, I know about the Lowes philosophy:  They're all about customer service, many times at some expense to the individual stores!  They're tolerant: they allowed me to quit three separate times, in three separate snits!  It took me but about ninety-days to figure out that I'd reached the limit in re-hires:  I'm now coded as "not re-hireable!"  Lowes bends over backwards to avoid controversy of any stripe; which makes the 'ad pulls' from the cable show "All-American Muslim" completely logical!!  On a different page of the Lowes Philosophy book, if Jimmy Johnson pulled a "Kurt Busch" on the racetrack, the company would treat Mr Johnson as they have "All-American Muslim!!"
    The only thing I can say to the mentality of California state legislator Ted Lieu:  Are owe-bamaesque arschlochs permeating every state legislature?!?
