I spent the afternoon running errands, trying to beat the cold, wet, blustery weather that is coming tonight! It is so amazing outside today that it seems inconceivable that by midnight, the change will be so drastic! The temperature right now is 70 degrees…the sun is shining, and a warm breeze is blowing…and it is November 28! How weird is that! By this time tomorrow…heavy cloud cover, COLD winds, temps in the 30’s and freezing rain! Holy cow!
I was pulling out of Sonic (on West 21st), watching the traffic fly by at 40-50 mph, bumper to bumper…wondering how there aren’t more accidents…when the guy in front of me decided to shoot across four lanes of traffic. Unfortunately, the girl on the other side of the street had the same thought at the same time! You guessed it…they hit head on! They had neither one had enough time or space to pick up much speed, so they smashed together with a loud metallic bong…each one bounced backwards a few feet…then they sat there staring at each other as though they couldn’t quite process what had just happened. Finally, after several seconds, they both pulled across into Sonic to survey the damage and exchange info. Thankfully…both were driving POS’s.
Do you ever watch people…and imagine what their theme song should be? As I was going into Wal-Mart today, an aging, tattooed man with a long gray pony tail, sat just inside the foyer. He was wearing a Harley T-shirt, and sporting a doo-rag …obviously appraising every female who entered the store…I chuckled as “I’m a Girl Watcher” by the O’Kaysions ran through my head! Once inside…I was passed in the aisle by a guy who strutted for all he was worth, obviously, in his world, he was all of that AND a bag of chips…I wanted to shout… “You’re So Vain” (Carly Simon). Then…as I tried, unsuccessfully, to reach an item on the rack in front of me, a little boy paraded back and forth (between me and the rack). His mother stood by…oblivious to the child as he prevented me from touching the item in question. He was definitely…”Bad To The Bone” (George Thorogood)! And I had to wonder…”What cha gonna do when they come for you…Bad Boy…Bad Boy!”
My mind is weird.
Be Happy!

You had an Ally McBeal day! So what was your theme song???
An Ally McBeal day - I've used that phrase today - how strange - mine was more in the term of when she punches someone flat in the face but then you realise she hasn't actually done the deed!!
