NTTA to raise speed limits - Woo Hoo!

April 25th, 2008

Today I learned that the North Texas Toll Authority, affectionately known as NTTA, has requested that the speed limits be raised by 10 miles per hour on our major toll road areas, including the North Dallas Tollway and the President George Bush Tollway. It appears that the NTTA has not raised the speed limits, which currently stand between 55 and 60 MPH, because of a failure to conduct the state’s required speed safety tests, prohibiting the much desired raise in limit.

I for one am quite happy to hear this news. It pains me to know that I could get a ticket for going over 55 freakin miles per hour on a road that I HAVE TO PAY TO DRIVE ON!!! Good grief, and about time.

Chic-Fil-A Strikes Again!

June 26th, 2007

GAH!! Tis so frustrating when you wish to have a bit of breakfast on the way to work, and the drive-thru fails you by messing up your order. Once again, Chick-Fil-A has made my morning less bright. This time they left out my hashbrowns. Alas. :(

Without the Chicken!

June 25th, 2007

I just HAD to put it out there, this little ditty about a chicken biscuit gone horribly wrong. One of the daily routines that Maryanne and I have in our morning commute to work is to stop off at either McDonald’s or Chik-fil-A to get a bite to eat for breakfast.

I ordered my usual on this Thursday morning in the Chic-Fil-A drive-thru: A number 1, add egg and cheese, with a large unsweet tea. We picked up the order at the window and began to drive away, me pulling out the contents of this bag o’ goodies.

I hand Maryanne her breakfast burrito and then proceed to extract my biscuit. To my great alarm and dismay, however, I discovered that my chicken biscuit with egg and cheese was missing one critical element… The chicken! RUINED!!! The day was RUINED!!
