When I was on business in Mountain View, CA the other day I came across a rather interesting street sign. It's not that you will be fined for running a red light, it's that you will be fined at minimum $336. Why $336? I'm curious to see how the meeting of the committee to decide traffic violation fines went the day they decided on that amount. Anyway, I thought this was rather interesting and made it me laugh, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Always Sunny In Philadelphia is my favorite new TV show. It's like an R rated Seinfeld. Everyone should watch this show. I didn't even start watching this show until a friend recommended it. So, I decided to buy Seasons 1 & 2, and I'm hooked. Do yourself a favor, and watch this show.

To get you hooked, I've found a few clips on YouTube that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
