Maybe they breed, like physics books in high school lockers, and produce amazing new taglines.

Frank is up finally. I need to get to Walmart this evening to get the pictures of Bill and Tom and some aquarium gravel for the Cub Scouts rain-gauge project.

Or they could breed like hangers and lost sox....nothing to see here, folks. Move along...

No $1.97 specials at Walmart this morning. :o|

We always seem to end up short of hangars. It’s time to go through everyone’s coats and see what doesn’t fit anybody. The church has a coat collection for children at a school in the Charlotte slums.

Bummer about the wine. It must be a local clearance. As soon as DP gets home, I’ll put him and Bill to making hamburgers for supper, and run over to WM to get the pictures and the aquarium gravel. You put the gravel in the bottom of the 2-liter bottle, up to the point of where the bottle goes straight up, and then you mark a scale from the top of the gravel to make a rain gauge. Fun for my Cub Scouts. We’re also going to investigate the rules of hockey (and try them out, with some Civil War soldier figures ;-), and work on a flag ceremony for next month’s Pack Meeting.

Now I have “The Thing in the Wall” from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac stuck in my head.

There is always a coat drive here. Folks think that Vegas doesn’t get cold but for those who are small and ill, Vegas gets VERY cold. There are several agencies who collect the coats, starting in September.

They also have a school supply drive in the summer, asking for backpacks and whatever else a kid needs. And in the winter, one of the local furniture stores gives away furniture for 10 households. Been doing it for 17 years.

Though Vegas has seen a decline in dollar amounts of donations in the last year or so, the donations are steady. Closer to Christmas, the generosity will make a newcomer cry.

Well, I’ll check with Walmart in the morning and see if the wine has come down any. I doubt it will. This IS Vegas! *snort*

Not going to ask. Don’t want to know.

I took your 666, DC, so you owe me.

Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim, did a comic series about Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
Well, there’s this thing that lives in Nny’s wall.
And the kid next door named Squee is always having aliens show up, so he tells them his parents are just down the hall.
Which always gets them abducted and probed.

I’d have been knocking my forehead against the wall.

LOL, no, that was today.

When I arrived at work today, we had no phone service. I got a buzzing sound rather than a dial tone, and my customers were getting a busy signal. The phone company fixed it. An hour and a half before we closed for the night. *sigh*

Sion, I know what you mean. Staples (business depot) sends a catalog full of BS about how green they are; one to the business, another one to me personally, and another one to my business partner. I have brought this to their attention in person at the store, and by phone. Both times I was told to call yet another number.

That's when I decided that the newsprint inside the catalog would make good fire starting material.

When an anticipated shipment arrived, I discovered they had made substitutes. (If you order a cabbage, are you satisfied when they hand you 4 cups of cole slaw?

And what is with all the crazy drivers lately? Drifting out of lanes, running red lights, etc.?

So, I should post about nothing? I'm not sure about this. I figure there are only 2 ways to look at this.....

1. I sound like a whiner.

2. Some comedian should be harvesting my daily reality for pure gold.

:=D
