1. The MASSIVE power outage that affected MILLIONS this afternoon in North, Central, and South Florida did not affect me where I work (Homestead ARB), where I play (Publix in Homestead), where I drive (Homestead), and where I live (Homestead). Power was never lost at any of these locations near and dear to me. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News are all over this International story.
2. The highest concentration of nasty cold and flu germs known to mankind can be found on the handle of a grocery store shopping cart or basket. If you go to the grocery store often then wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap.
3. My car is a target for bird droppings. I have a silver car that’s peppered with white streaks and polka-dots all around it.
4. I look at a pot of hot steamy collard greens and think to myself, ‘YUMMY ! Give me a pound of it ! I’ll eat it all right now !’
5. Guys who don’t shave on a regular basis are just plain lazy. That includes me sometimes.
6. Most people relay weather forecasts to their friends and family based on what ‘they’ say on the radio or on television. I relay weather forecasts to my friends (and readers of this blog) based on what I have personally forecasted through my own extensive analysis and research. I am generally accurate about 80 to 90 percent of the time.
7. This season’s cast of “Big Brother” on CBS may just be the most dysfunctional and immoral cast so early in the game in the show’s history. It’s also the lowest-rated season ever (by far), so longtime viewers don’t appear to be interested in it.
8. Can anyone recommend a good interior decorator for me ? I have a bunch of exciting ideas floating around in my mind on various enhancements and repairs that I’d like to make to my living room, bedroom, and bathrooms. I’d want one of those deals where the interior decorator walks around my home, makes various suggestions, and then goes out and buys the merchandise and has it installed based on what I approve. I have a certain amount of money set aside for such a scenario. I don’t want to sweat at all with this project. All I want to do is approve or disapprove of ideas that are suggested to me. I want everything else done for me.
9. You always remember your first car. Mine was a beige 1980 Chevy Citation. It had a factory-installed AM radio in it. Oh yeah – and a bad muffler (with a hole in it). Good Times !
10. If this blog cheers you up, puts a smile on your face, or outright makes you laugh then I’ve succeeded with my mission here. This blog entertains me when I write it, but most importantly it should also entertain you.
