Very Random Thoughts - November 2017

  • Remember back when cars broke down fairly regularly? Remember how exciting it was to tow or be towed by your buddy with a rope or chain? What a delicate dance between two cars. 
  • I find it amazing the places inanimate objects can find to hide when we are looking for them.
  • Another overused plot for old Westerns, the hero gets bit by a rattlesnake while he had the bad guy in custody out on the trail. 
  • Just saw a restaurant food description of "stuffed ravioli". Aren't all ravioli stuffed?
  • I wonder how much time and effort goes into those "messy/disheveled" hairdos, both men, and women?
  • Our jails and prisons are referred to as correctional institutions or the correctional system. What exactly do they "correct"? Punishment institutions would probably be a more accurate name.  
  • Who were those people asking for the return of the McRib?
  • Is churchkey still a term? When I was much younger it was a combination bottle/can opener and a required tool. We never left home without one. A beer can opener, not a can of Campbell's soup can opener. Twist-off caps and pop-tops have made them almost obsolete. 
     
  • What's the tipping point on how many victims need to come forward for us to believe accusations against a sexual predator? It certainly seems to be more than one or two. Especially for politicians.
  • Technology needed to read a printed book, eyeballs and a light source. 
  • On the ABC This Week program, the talking heads sit at a square table for the "Roundtable" discussions. 
  • Just because a person spouts religious or moral platitudes doesn't mean they live by them. 
  • Oxymoron -
