Not Mine

I got rather upset after President Obama was elected by the people who said "he's not my President". I mean, I didn't like Reagan or the Bushs (especially the second one), but I always considered myself an American, and as such, they were my presidents. Well, I get it now. Not my President.

And should he step down, or get impeached (and I fully expect it), the same goes with Pence. The shock is fading and I've reached a zen state after dealing with a few of my more fun relatives. Facebook has definitely demonstrated to me over the last 3 days that yes, we can't pick our relatives, but I've discovered how well I've done picking my friends!

Well, That Sucks.

My reaction to this morning's headlines.

Can I skip work and just go back to bed?

Happy Holidays!

Today's Question to Ponder!

Small Town Controversy

It's amazing what people in small towns get over-excited about. Our city council, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make our "Triangle" into a no parking zone and they did it practically overnight and with little warning. Now, there are pros and cons. Pro- the road is a bit narrow and people drive faster than they should, so this widens the space. Con--we lose 12 parking spaces. That doesn't seem like a huge number, but there isn't much parking available uptown, plus some of our older customers (I work in the store where the white truck sits) have a hard time backing up, and preferred to parallel park. Now, personally, I don't really care. I mean, I've seen some accidents, nothing major, but there was damage to vehicles. But I suppose accidents will still happen. Everyone (including my boss) is up-in-arms. For the most part, I think the whole thing has been blown totally out of proportion. It's all every one talked about last week. I'm so hoping there's a new topic this week! (But I doubt it.)

Guinness advert - "Men and women shouldn't live together"

I was doing research on "dance club fashions of 1995" and this popped up. How, why? Who knows how the internet decides what we want to see. But this is brilliant! An advert from 1995 that shows a couple facing the trials of living together-- way ahead of it's time! But because of a back-lash by anti-gay groups, it was never shown. Which is too bad. It's a good ad!
