Snow Whip

The children of Worcester County have a snow day, and I'm stuck inside feeling bad because of a cold that knocked me on my ass faster than the black ice on the front stairs. 

Well, since I had some time to do some housekeeping chores that I'd been putting off, and in between trying to make sure that I didn't loose what I ate or drank, I decided to check my email.

Now, this is where the funny part begins.

On Monday, I wrote on the  Worcester Bloggers website about my mother, and the fact that she stays up-to-date on the news and weather by keeping a television tuned to CNN in her GED classroom.  Well, don't you know that she sends me an email and states for my birthday, she's buying me a car.

Most folks would be excited to hear that their mom or dad want to buy them a car, no matter how old you are, but I, on the other hand, thought how is she going to buy me a car, when it's she that needs to retire the 1996 Jeep Cherokee that's seen it's last days?

Here is the vehicle she wrote and told me she's buying for me. via Autoblog.

A hybrid we can get excited about, the Vancat has a whole lot of everything going on. Starting with a full-size Dodge Ram van body mounted on a Thiokol chassis, the Vancat is propelled by a 391 Ford V8 engine and power is routed to a set of German-made Hans Hall aluminum tracks.

Fix your Mirrors

I think this should be mandatory reading for all drivers in Massachusetts. Maybe, just maybe, it'll eliminate some of the blind-spot caused accidents I've seen on the Mass Turnpike.

Adjust your Mirrors!

Driving in Worcester

I've been meaning to set-up my car web camera, but I've been sidetracked by my mother's hip surgery, but I finally got around to it today and decided to do some testing while making my way through Kelly Square.

This is just the beginning.

Driving in Worcester recently, I saw this car and had to take a couple pictures of the right rear tail light.

Yes, that is a red wiffle ball that you see pictured, being used as a tail light. Genius!

You're Kidding Me!

Thursday is off to an odd start, but still a good one nonetheless.

While driving this morning, taking my daughter to school, I come to an intersection where I see the above car with the driver, who just so happens to be hanging his arm out the driver's side window while holding a bottle of Poland Spring water. Well, the next thing I see is the driver toss the plastic bottle to the ground! Now, I'm thinking, "No he didn't!" But sure enough he did just litter.

So I decided to pulled over & attempted to get his attention, but I had to make a turn to take my daughter to school before the dreaded "first bell" ringing. Well, I was able to get right behind him and snap the picture you see above.

Now, we at Worcester Is MAJOR! will begin the search for who the driver was & we'll be sure to post their name as a litter bug!

So, the morale of the story is....be careful on the roads & don't be a Litter BUG! We're watching!
