Random Thoughts​

Road Rage Throughout the Ages

PictureColumbus certainly would have been involved in sea rage.
​We tend to think of road rage as being a recent phenomena. It's certainly more common nowadays, but I believe it has been around for centuries.

There surely would have been chariot rage on the Roman roads. There were simply too many chariots not to have had an incident where one chariot cut off another, or one was going far too slow. After all, it's well-documented that "the finger" has been around for centuries. Where else would it have been invented?

But the concept seems funniest to me on the high seas.

"Hey, Columbus! Get your damn caravel out of the harbor! Could you sail that thing any slower? Admiral of the Ocean Sea, my ass!"

Of course, Columbus no doubt followed the heckler for a few miles before blasting a cannon at him. Sea rage at its finest.

    My brain is a curious thing. It bounces from place to place, from the exceedingly strange to the terribly mundane. Every once in awhile, something will pop into my head that is just completely out of nowhere. Totally random.

    Hence, my "Randos" are random thoughts about different things that come straight from my addled brain onto the page. They are things I wonder about or things I need to have answered but don't know who to ask. Since I'm a writer, I feel compelled to write them down, but there really wasn't a forum to put them out anywhere.

    They are short little missives about different things I encounter, stuff that you can read and laugh at (or with) me and my observations. I hope you enjoy reading them!
