Oh, I think Chicago's interstates are WAY worse than Indiana's.
Honestly, my fenders/tires would disagree. My instances of tire rub were at least 10X greater on the Indiana turnpike than 80/290/294 around Chicago
The turnpike is down right nasty through Indiana. My brother and I took that when we went to Vegas, never again.

I'm not sayin' Indiana is a treat, and perhaps right now the Turnpike has degraded, and the roads around Chicago have been fixed up. But in general, the roads are typically MUCH better in Indiana that Illinois.

So, my dad's house burned down on Saturday, that's bad enough as it is, but then I find out there's a fckuing video of it on youtube.

I understand people have a curiosity to things like this, but to post it on youtube is utterly tasteless and disrespectful, IMO.

I sent a message to the guy who posted it. If he won't take it down I'll tell YouTube to remove it, hopefully he'll honor my wishes.

Shady ass shipping companies that can't do what they say they can do, and lie.

We have new neighbors that just put up a bird feeder right near my driveway and garage (of course still on their property). This sucks. Sometimes I park top down within 10-15 feet of that bird feeder.

I liked them until that damn bird feeder went up. My passive agressive side is already trying to figure out things like, maybe I'll plant a tree on my side of the property right by that bird feeder giving the squirrels easy access to the bird food.

Get a viciously aggressive cat.

My crusty neighbour won't say hi to me, but somehow has it in her heart to care for a couple feral cats...and place her bird feeder in a similar location. Unfortunately, my garage is inaccessible (driveway's in the middle of being redone), so all the cars have to be parked outside. It's impossible to keep up with all that poop.

We've already got one of those, but she's too aggressive, we don't let her outside because she climbs up tree and can't get down. Although, I did think about locking her in a tent or hunting blind right next to the bird feeder.

I'm serously thinking about mounting a fake owl to the roof of my garage and getting some sort of ultrasonic bird deterrant on top of that.
