Chivralry is not dead,

September 14th, 2006 at 03:54 am

it just happens to drive a big Safeway truck. During my evening hike home, I waited at the slow crosswalk when said grocery truck slowed, then stopped before the crosswalk. Crosswalk light still showed not to, but the truck blocked both lanes on the left, with no traffic coming from the right. Normally, if its a car, I much prefer to wave the car on. A bad driver could make the love/hate relationship I have with my knees even worse. I knew how much effort this truck took to slow and stop and it seemed a crime to wave him on. I went against the crosswalk light and waved back.

Gave 7$ to a toiletry drive at work. Shopping for that stuff doesn't give me enough of a thrill; better to give the money to someone who likes shopping for that stuff.

Got another rain check at a different grocery store, this time for diced canned tomatoes. 2 for .98.

Put the old passport, the passport renewal form, the check for $67 (yikes!) into the padded envelope. All that remains is to get 2 current passport pictures.

    We're on the passport roller coaster right now too! Our Walgreens charges $7.00 for two passport pics and they give them to you right there on the correct "paper". I think its worth it!

    I did this during the summer -- sent in the old one, marriage license (due to name change) and paperwork with the check. It came back with my FIRST name spelled wrong. They had it right on the previous passport and it didn't change when I got married. I had to send the new passport back and wait for another one. It took another couple of weeks, but no additional paperwork! Good luck with yours!

    I feel like i'm taking my life in my hands whenever i attempt to cross Main Street at rush hour, which i need to do when i walk to work. Even tho there's a cross walk, and a stand up sign that reminds people it's the law to stop for pedestrians, no one will until you just walk out there and force them to stop. Really.
