Yesterday, we drove down to Ripon and helped move Robin's brother, Randy, and his familly to their new home south of Madison in Evansville. I was expecting icy conditions but found, after the first 30 miles, that the roads were all clear. This is Wisconsin! Friends in Maryland haven't seen their cars for days because of the snow! What is going on? The move went well and we were able to make it back home around midnight.
I find it interesting to see how many BP gas stations there are now that Amoco has merge with British Petroleum, and find myself wondering if I should feel pride at a British success like this? I have nothing at all to do with the company other than my origins and have found that most people think that BP stands for 'Better Petroleum' because of the ad' campaign, being unaware of the British connection. I suppose that we should all be happy that it isn't French Petroleum, the idiots would call it something like 'Le Gas'.
I was wondering, the other day, about the fact that the most well known cartoon character that is meant to be French is a Skunk! The Skunk in question being a greasy individual who thinks he is a great lover but is actually a real dummy in this field. Were the animators of the same opinion as me about the people of that nation?
