Did you Know...
Eating a frosted honeybun and washing it down with a coke leaves the amazing aftertaste of stale "ashtray."

Note to self: go to dentist.

I think this blog may have just "jumped the shark." Time will tell...

It's been a while since I have posted anything. There is a good reason however! I'm busy.

Sometimes I think we Americans are stupid. The sad thing is that we perpetuate stupidity. I was on the tram at the airport a few weeks ago and was amazed to hear how detailed the instructions were for its use. "Please move away from the doors and toward the middle of the tram (as if you could move away from the doors and toward the outside of the tram...)." "Please hold on to the hand rails. The doors are closing. The tram is leaving the station." I guess some of this might be helpful to a blind person (although they can still hear the door closing and feel the tram moving) but do we really need to be told how to do everything? Where do we draw the line between helpful instruction and annoying stupidity crutch? We even have to be told that the coffee we ordered is going to be (surprise!) hot. Water has 0 calories and 0 grams of fat in case you were wondering. Also, peanut butter is "made with peanuts." Oh yeah, and I think everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, death, etc. and alcohol impares judgment, is bad for babies, etc. When people from other countries see this stuff, they get the impression that we are children and need to be told everything. Let's try leaving people in the dark for a while and see how many morons we can filter out of the gene pool.

I've become desensitized to most of the news recently. I think they have run out of “news.” All I seem to hear about are things like “the Dow slipped another 147 points today,” or blah blah blah “Iraq” blah blah blah “Saddam” blah blah blah “War on Terrorism” blah blah blah. These things are neither new nor interesting. Please tell me something new and interesting if you want to claim it as news. And oh, interesting as in thought provoking or intriguing which means pop stars and reality TV shows don’t count.
