OK, so I’m out for lunch today and come across these signs.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?
Now I like signs…old weathered signs, fancy new signs, classy signs, goofy signs, sign misspellings, but espicially those done by someone on a tight marketing budget. Continue reading “Show me a sign”
The weather, it be a changing. And one sign of that is a small life treat in spotting Monarch Butterflies on their migration route to Mexico.
While conversing with FD this morning, I looked out the kitchen window to discover a Monarch Butterfly taking roost on my blooming Abelia. I plugged in the telphone headset and grabbed my camera. Continue reading “Monarchs”
As our Government moves towards socialism with unknowing ideas of bailouts, rescue, mortgage ownership, health care, and all other sorts of financial assistance for the stupid and downtrodden, everyone seems to be extending their hand…but not so much in friendship these days.
I received this email forward from a friend several days ago. Even though the pessimist in me says it will never happen and it’s kind of an afterthought now, I like this guy’s idea, style, and reasoning. Maybe he will run for public office sometime soon.
A Modest Plan: Not to mention $700 Billion to bail out Wall Street, while mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren!
A late lunch will sometimes pay off when bubba cars are sited around town.
Photographer dexterity and the good use of mirrors were able to capture “that’s something you don’t see every day” pictures while driving down the road. Don’t pass this link on to the DMV please.
While you’re at it, note the detailed construction techniques: the creative use of duct tape, the ingenious use of wood on the grill, sheet metal and plastic abound, the inverted john-boat to serve as a truck bed cover, and who knows what else. Oh I know, check out the wheel covers….
If you will, direct your attention to all the rivets, the non-use of bondo, the crooked application of racing stripes down the side, and a few minor oversprays of spray paint on the back bumper. The unfortunate thing about this “vehicle” is a large windshield crack has lessened the value of the truck. Now that is a bummer.
Just a passing thought: I wonder if this guy is a duck hunter? He could probably purposefully roll the “vehicle” in to the water and paddle out to retrieve his bounty. Getting back to shore could be a trick. Continue reading “Automobile (I think) aftermarket amenities”
In a brilliant display of economic timing during these uncertain times, OFB (I will let you guess which one) sends me this bit of financial advice:
Investment Tips for 2008
With all the turmoil in the market today, and the collaspe of Lehman Brothers and the acquistion of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America, this might be some good advice. For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks.
Watch out for these consolidations later this year:
And finally…….. Continue reading “Financial Times, they be changing”
…what are we going to do with all those people?”. This was one of the few college professor lectures that stuck with me after all these years. The class was an Environmental/Ecology elective – the topic was world overpopulation. His words may have been somewhat prophetic, but if he said China would one day be an world economic engine, I must have fallen asleep in that class. Sent to me from my co-worker Jayne: SHIFT HAPPENS And then there is this response (not sent from my co-worker Jayne): If you have trouble making the YouTube arrow work right (like I did), … Continue reading “The Problem is China…
