I&#8217;ve been a little depressed lately and kinda feeling sorry for myself, but this definitely helped put things in perspective. I was headed to the movies with my husband, and since we seldom go to the movies on Saturday night, we decided to try out a new theater. On the way there, we passed a trailer park (scary, I know), but in this trailer park, right on the someone&#8217;s front &#8220;lawn&#8221; was a Dead End Street sign. How depressing is that, you live in a trailer in Parma, OH and every day you come home from a hard day at work and there&#8217;s that sign staring you in the face? Talk about a downer. How can you live like that, knowing you&#8217;re on a dead end street? Come on, hitch up your trailer and drive it somewhere else, that can&#8217;t be good for the children. The universe is clearly trying to send you a message and you ignore it every day of your life? <\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m on the subject of trailers, why does every trailer park in America have a street called Sunset in it? Is there some code I missed? What&#8217;s up with that? I have a lot of experience with tornado magnets, I grew up in Alabama, but I just don&#8217;t get the Sunset thing. If anyone out there has a theory on this one I&#8217;d really like to know.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Yes, I did go see Spider-man again, but it was for a good cause, my husband hadn&#8217;t seen it yet. Alright, I admit it, I was going to go anyway, but it sounds better if I had to take him. When does it come out on DVD?<\/p>\n<p>P.P.S. Props to the excellent civil servant aka cop who pulled us over after the movie, he didn&#8217;t give us a ticket, but he did make sure we weren&#8217;t driving drunk. You know us wild old people, give us 2 hours of Spider-man and we&#8217;re erratic for days. Seriously though, way to keep the streets safe officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This really isn&#8217;t a rant, more of an observation, but I saw something today that should cheer up anybody having a bad day.
