Dear Cruise Control,

To illustrate how much I love you, here is a list of the Top 3 inventions of the past 100 years:

3. Sliced Bread
2. Electricity
1. Cruise Control on my '99 Toyota Camry




Here is also a short list of the Top 3 places I use you:

3. San Vicente between Bundy and Ocean Ave.
2. Late-night drive down the 10 freeway between the 110 and PCH.
1. EVERYWHERE I CAN.

Apparently there is a cruise control feature on passenger vehicles with manual transmission too. This might combine my two most favorite things in motor vehicle engineering.

Life should be more like manual transmission and cruise control.


Regards,
Everyone

Dear L-Shaped Desk,

You can fit in a corner if you wanted to. You can be in the middle of the room. One side can be flush against the wall. You accommodate swivel chairs very nicely. You are in the shape of an "L." You are awesome.

Everyone

Dear Zombies,

Quit fucking up Time Warner's Internet and cable TV. You're making it real hard for me to search for hard news, learn from educational videos on National Geographic's web site, and watch the San Diego Zoo panda cam.

Thanks for nothing. Assholes.


Regards,
Everyone

PS: And Dear Time Warner Cable, stop being so susceptible to zombie attacks. Please learn how to fight back more effectively. Thank you. Regards, Everyone.


Here's what Time Warner Cable had to say for themselves:

We suspect that the attackers are using "zombie computers," or hijacking unsuspecting subscribers’ machines to perpetuate the attack without its owner’s knowledge.

Dear Traffic Lights,

I was just thinking that other day, I can't wait until ALL of you have that awesome countdown thingy. It's super-helpful. I hope the new stimulus package has a provision for more of you guys.
