I felt like shopping.

I felt like shopping, so I went to the lieberry and checked out more stuff than I could carry comfortably in my hands without a basket.

This gave me the feeling of shopping, without spending any money.




Some of the simplest ideas are the best.


Jaws #1 - I did it!



 Since the first moment that I heard that theme music, I have had trouble getting into water.


If you know me, you may be shocked to find out that I checked out the movie Jaws from the lieberry yesterday.

I don't know if I'll watch it.

Shaving by the Dumpster

I was driving yesterday, and when I turned down a little side street, I came upon a dumpster at the back of a restaurant.  This is pretty close to a big busy street, but off the beaten path, on a little street that very few people use.

I noticed a big red pickup truck parked by the dumpster, kind of alongside of it; not facing it, and not backed up to it, and the driver's door was open and a man was standing there, between the truck and the dumpster, shaving with an electric razor.

I didn't slow down.  I didn't look long.  But I've been thinking about it since. 


Most people shave at home.  But maybe his pickup is also his home.  There is no way he always parks his pickup alongside that dumpster, because where he was parked, nobody else could get to it, and the restaurant is in business.  This means he drove up to that dumpster and parked alongside of it intentionally.

I can think of a few reasons to park alongside of a dumpster.  But none of them include shaving.

What was he doing there?


I can understand why someone wouldn't shave inside of their truck, and I can understand why someone would carry a razor with them, but I can't think of a reason to shave there.

Yep, that must be what did it.

 Simple Snarky Summary

Poor Anna Karenina has nothing much to live for. 

 

 

It is just so sad,

but maybe if her kid would stay awake more often, that might help.

Judgment free Zone

I like words.  And sometimes that has been very good for me.  School was always easy for me, and I liked it, for the most part.  Having an affinity for words has been great.  But having studied a few foreign languages, and not going very deeply into any of them, I realize that English as my language, has shaped my thoughts, not just in terms of vocabulary, but in every way.

Because English has so many words, we tend to think in synonyms rather than in definitions.

At the gym, this realization hit me after seeing this:

Most people wouldn't admit to being judgmental.  But if you have an opinion about every single body of every single person that walks by you in the gym.....

You can call it whatever you want; criticism, constructive criticism, nosiness, attentiveness, but it's not helping anybody or any body; especially yours.

Gym Rats

These boys whose arms are larger than their legs... Do they know that they look like this?  Or do they stare into the mirror and see themselves with skinny arms as they used to be?
