Thoughts on the Day

  • The time to remember that all you’ve had to eat and drink today is black coffee is not when your hands start shaking at 2 PM.
  • I took Boo to the book store today as a reward.  He whispered so that he wouldn’t disturb the ladies who were reading in the easy chairs.
  • If you’re 6 feet tall and wearing a football sweatshirt from one of the local Catholic high schools, you’re too old and too big to climb halfway up the climbing ropes at the playground and bounce.
    • I’ll take that dirty look, which you gave me when I asked you to stop trying to bounce my son and the little girl next to him off the climber, to heart.  Really, I will.
  • When I use the phrase “Watch your mouth, boy.” when speaking to you it’s not racist.
    • You see, you are approximately 1/3 my age, so you are, indeed, a boy.
    • Second, you’re as pale as I am.
    • Third, you were yelling at your friend, whom I had just asked to get off of the rope climber, to, and I quote, “Watch out for your balls!”.  I thought it might be good to remind you that there were little kids and their moms around you.
  • You know when you’re a gun nut when you have to debate whether a Smith and Wesson Model 13 in a Dragon Leatherworks holster goes better with your outfit for a Friends of the NRA banquet than a Remington R1 in a Michael’s Custom Holsters holster.
  • Sure fire way to make sure that you win a raffle – Have me buy some of the other tickets in it.
    • 10+ raffles and drawings tonight, 10+ raffles and drawings that I didn’t win.
    • All good fun, and it was for a good cause.
  • Wanna know how to get the old heart rate up while you’re driving?
    • Have the semi that just passed you on the interstate run its back wheels up the driver’s side of the car in front of you, thereby spinning her around, broadside to you, then ending up on the shoulder.
    • My choices were 1) brake and hope to not get rear ended, 2) brake, pull to the shoulder, and hope you don’t hit the car that just got hit, or 3) pull to the left and get rear ended.
    • I chose number 1, and it turned out all right for me.
    • Luckily, the lady driving the other car wasn’t visibly harmed.  I really didn’t want to break out the trauma kit I got in Ambulance Driver’s class tonight.
  • Hint to Louisville drivers – When you see a sedan pointed the wrong way on the shoulder, with a big white pick-up truck about 100 yards in front of it with its flashers on, a semi truck about 1/4 of a mile in front of that with its flashers on, and several people with flashlights trying to make sure you see that there’s a problem, the correct thing to do is to get over to the left a tad so as to not plow into any of them.
    • Most of you, however, seemed to be playing the “Let’s see how close we can get to the wreck without trading paint”.  The winner of this was the jackhole from Shelby County who came within a hair’s breadth of becoming part of the problem.
