Things I wonder about…

I have things I wonder about and mean to post, but always seems to forget them.  Here are two:

• Why does my printer (HP OfficeJet v40) print pages from first to last?  The result of this is that the first page is at the bottom of the stack and I then have to reorder them manually.  As I’ve been printing off sizable PDFs lately, this has become very annoying.  To be fair to HP, I’m running the Gimp printer driver / adapter on my Mac, so that could be the reason for this.

• There are a series of speed bumps in the long driveway leading to my office’s employee parking garage.  Invariably I get behind a large RAM-tough truck or a Toyota Tundra or some kind of large vehicle and they take these bumps as if they are hauling a truckload of unsecured glass.  What gives?  In the commercials, these trucks eat speed bumps.  And me?  I get more air than the Flying Tomato as I race over these bumps. 

More of these as I recall them…
