Watch out for the state police
So, I’m driving up North Street and I approach a state police car. He flips on his siren and makes a U turn to follow me. Then he turns off his lights and slows down. I have no idea.

I saw some decoy owls placed in the trees in front ot the Janssen Law Center on Main Street in Peoria. I counted about three per tree in four trees. Apparently, he’s trying to scare away the other birds.These were the fake-est-looking decoys. What a hoot!
OBSERVED: Saw about 20 police cars, plus undercover vehicles, converge on W. Gilbert, close to University, just moments ago. Neighbors said cops had guns drawn and were chasing someone between houses. Some cop cars nearly smashed into each other as they changed directions in the middle of the street. Skid marks on the pavement.
OBSERVED: At Hometown Buffet, all the booth seats have been slashed and stuffing is coming out of them. Plus, the food is no longer labeled, so you have to guess what various items are. Is that some sort of spinach chicken or is it tofu tuna quiche?
OVERHEARD — Two teen-age girls — MAYBE in high school — talking about how men can sometimes get PMS. Should these kids be talking about some teen idol or cheerleader practice or something?
OBSERVED — Borders is full of families using the store the way people used to use libraries for. I suggest the PPL start selling coffee and pastries, and ridiculously to use wireless.
OBSERVED — Hazelnut flavored lattes are delicious.
OBSERVED — Guy at Borders is wearing this T shirt: “I reject you reality and substitute my own.” He just MIGHT be a Tea Bagger.
OBSERVED — A mom with her kindergarten-age kid standing in line at McDonalds, on the phone taking an order for a third party, meanwhile her kid keeps demanding a happy meal with a specific toy, and she’s trying to explain to him that the Happy Meals aren’t for sale now.
mazr: The way I read it she wasn’t planning on giving the child McDonalds (on that particular day at least), as she told him that Happy Meals weren’t for sale, and she was getting ordering instructions from someone on the phone.
OBSERVED — Far to many cars and trucks in the parking lot at West Main Street McDonalds for the number of customers inside. Could it be construction workers at Main Street Commons are taking up the spots?

It’s a quote from Adam Savage from the TV show Mythbusters.

Maybe he’s a typo perpetrator. That shirt should’ve said “I reject your reality…” Not “you reality”.
