Hello cats and kittens. I’m the newest addition to the DLOH writing crew. There are now enough of us to warrant being called a crew, and so it shall be done.

Some things you may read me ranting about: drivers in the Chicago area, stupid people and their stupid reasons for not paying their bills, my puppy’s insistence on eating his meals twice, horrible movies, horrible tv shows, and/or the blatant misuse of the ellipsis.

I grew up in Minnesota. I learned how to drive in snow and ice. The climate in Minnesota is not that different than the climate in the Chicago area. Why is it people feel the need to go 85 in a 55 on two inches of ice? Also, when there is easily a distance of 6 or 7 car lengths in front of me, why nearly clip the front of my car moving into my lane, on two inches of ice, on a bridge? Ever heard of steering into a skid? Apparently not. Ever been told to tap the brakes? Never? Well roll down the window and listen because I’m yelling it at you from the car ahead of you.
