let's sit

OK, so I'm procrastinating... Big deal. I'm supposed to be coming up with some presentations for the classes I'm instructing for my Army thing. Of course I couldn't stop at the two classes I'm giving next weekend, nope, I had to go ahead and do the other classes I'm doing over the next few months. Stop there? Why? I'm on a roll. Back in the day, on active duty, we used to have a huge training book. If you ever had to "teach" a class on any particular subject you just needed to pull out the book and pull the material you needed from it (return it afterwards). Poof. There's your class. My current unit lacks such a grand idea and in my infinite wisdom (or lack of a steady job) I've decided that would be my legacy. Put together this huge book. Or at least start it. The plan is to write the necessary outlines for instructors, a hard copy of a powerpoint presentation, and a cd with all the powerpoint classes. How well that goes, I'm not quite sure...


This weekend I got bored and watched into the CVS store near my house. The intention was getting one of those travel soap holders of a certain design. Why? Not because I'm planning on traveling, but a rather practical purpose not related to soap. It can be used as a cigarette pack holder. Getting back on track; I'm looking at the supposedly helpful aisle signs. I say supposedly because I locate the aisle I need but am curious as to the other signs in the store. I understand the concept behind them, they help shoppers quickly locate what they need. "Dairy" has dairy products. "Beverages" has an assortment of drinks, alcoholic and non. "Pharmacy" is the drugs. "First Aid" is the first aid. I'm curious though as to why anyone would come to a CVS for "External Pain." I'm going back tomorrow with my digital camera, but for now I'm wondering how someone can come up with this sign and not think that it's weird.






Not to make light of this story because I too used to hunt for dinosaur bones with my cousins when I was younger, but Texas is the ranked #2? Who's #1? Does this include subways?

If there's something, in the neighborhood. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! I suppose this is more for homeowners... you know, just in case.

Hahaha. Ginger Neanderthals! For more on the term, please click here. How cool is that Wikipedia redirected me to the red hair page from typing "gingers" in the search parameters?

See, I think this is how Mary Poppins really ended, but Disney had to give it a happy ending.

You know, if it didn't endanger other people's lives, I'd say let her do it.

Truer words have never been spoken.
