I want a job that lets me drive around in a truck with flashing yellow lights on top. Preferably, this truck would also have a large lockable storage bin just behind the extended cab where I would keep whatever implements of destruction were required on the job. Frankly, I’d just like a job where I could pull over to the side of the road, click on the lights, and take a 2 hour nap.

In a related story, VDOT has decided to save itself some money by taking delivery of plain-white trucks rather than painting them orange, as they have done since 1955. This is just further evidence of what I like to call the “vanilla-fication” of America. Everything is white! White, in fact, is the most popular car color in America (or at least it used to be). Everything is plain and boring. If it’s not, it’s completely over the top and ugly. Too bad we don’t get to choose.
