Jerks, Joggers, and Java

I was out running today a woman driving a big van pulled up and rolled down her window and said "Can you tell me where Olesen is?" This woman apparently a) had not been trained in good manners by her parents, teachers, and friends, and b) thought she had the right to stop a runner and ask a question. I stopped and politely gave her directions, and she drove away with nary a thank you. Similar incidents have happened many times in the past...which always make me wonder about the ignorant lives these people lead.

On a perky note, both McD and Starbucks are rolling out national ad campaigns supporting their coffees. Funny thing is that they could save the ad money and just lower the prices for consumers. That will do the trick.
