It has been a while since I posted here.  At first I thought about just giving up on the blog, but then I remembered that I like to give my 2 cents on this “wonderful” city we all call home.  I like to poke fun at things and whenever the latest news is brought up in conversation, I am on it like stink on sh*t.

Crime

The crime has been off the wall lately around the city and I am even surprised at myself that I haven’t made too many comments, here or on the Press website.  Usually, by the time I get to the article on the website, there is already the spelling Nazi, Grammar Nazi and crime haters on the comments section.

Most of the crime is domestic abuse, drug dealers from another city or someone shootin’ for “Weinie of the Week” on 105.7.  The crimes against children seem to be popping up a bit more and sexual predators are being released into Sheboygan at the rate of a couple per year.  That doesn’t take away from the numerous DUI’s and the possibility that one of Sheboygan’s Most Wanted got caught in Mexico.

Drive Thrus

Driving thru at the Dairy Queen in Sheboygan Falls the other day, I noticed a sign that stated the drive thru speaker line had been damaged, so please start your order when ready.  Don’t you think that since most of your traffic comes from the drive thru, you might want to get that fixed as fast as possible?  I understand the economy is in the tank and people don’t have money, but you do need to spend money to make money, right? 

Another drive thru experience that I had a while ago was at Taco Bell.  I don’t eat there much, but the last time that I did I was greeted with “Hello, how are you today?”.  WTF is that?  Am I supposed to go into how I really am today, or is my order good enough?  When I say fine and pause to hear nothing, what the hell is the next step?  Do I give my order, wait for a reply to my reply, WTF!  That is so annoying that restaurants still haven’t standardized the greeting when you pull up to the drive thru speaker.  Well, except McDonalds of course, since they use a recording greeting for some reason and it usually confuses people either asking about a menu item from morning or the voice is different from the one actually taking the order.

Weather

This is another one that I wanted to touch base on, because I know we are all waiting for Winter to end.  When the Winter takes this long to figure out what the hell it wants to do, we all know the Summer months are too close and are going to be hotter than hell!  Hang in there, it’ll all be over soon and we can all deal with blistering temps and jerk-off drivers

I am not sure what to say about things around the city on my FIRST “Monday Rant-o-La!”.  The stories about child abuse, drugs over here, DUI’s over there and random people having to deal with crime in their lives for no reason are starting to mount just in time for the summer season.

All the crazy’s are coming out of the wood work and it’s evident even in our lovely city of Sheboygan.  With recent news stories like the 10 month old that was assaulted while at day care and the 40-some year old “man” that beat his two stepdaughters, it really gets sickening to read the news.

Guess the Price of Appliances (like Price is Right) and WIN a $250 Visa Gift Card!

BUT, we still do and I think it’s because we like to see that there are people in the city that have it worse than “us”.  The general “us” of course, not the “us” that write this blog.  I have my share of misfortune, too, it’s just not as bad as some of the recent dandies that we are able to read about.  I really look forward to the news “written” in the Sheboygan Press because there is always that chance you read about someone you might have known

Monday’s suck here and everywhere, but I noticed that this blog is read very much on Mondays.  So, this being the first, Monday Rant-o-La, will be a new feature at this blog.  If you like to read about my Monday rants, feel free to subscribe to post updates via email address, by clicking on this link, right here on this word.
