Cry a Tear for New York

New York has lost and icon. No, not a major building or political leader, but a great man who has had an effect on New York Sports since 1930. Wellington Mara the Owner of the New York Giants (Football) died today. Mr. Mara had owned the Giants since his Father game them to he and his brother in 1930. Wellington Mara was perhaps the most respected owner in professional football and always was a voice of reason. I am a Jets fan, but will miss Mr. Marra very much.

What's up with that???

I have been annoyed by a certain driving technique that many people seem to employ that I just don't understand. Why do drivers who are turning left from one street into another or into a parking lot pull to the right first? This morning on my way into work, I was driving on a road with 2 lanes in each direction and the person in the left lane was turning left into a gas station and had pulled to the right so far, that he was actually over the white line and into the right hand lane some. I could see it if the driver needed to avoid something, but this was not the case. He was just making a simple left turn. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to use this as a lesson in patience.
