Happy Hump Day

Today was an unusually good Hump Day at work.  For me, I didn't have any problems with the lines that I schedule.  Plus it was a party day as we celebrated the birthday of a department coworker.  So all in all, it was a very good Wednesday. 

Something You Don't See Every Day

On the way to work this morning, I saw something that you definitely don't see every day.  I saw someone's weave thrown on the side of the road.  It was a strawberry blonde weave, too.  In my younger days, it might have fit right in with my hair.  But unfortunately, someone has lost their weave. 

If It Weren't For Facebook, Some People Would Starve

One of the feeds I subscribe to on Facebook is the local 'hood page -- the "I Am Dixie Highway" page.  It never ceases to amaze me how people rely on Facebook for everyday things.  Such as the  ever popular"What can I fix for dinner tonight?' post.  If it weren 't for Facebook, I guess those people would go to bed hungry. 

Saturday Updates

I'm not ashamed to say I went to bed at 10:00 last night and got up at 9:45 this morning.  I had no stomach pain or other related issues during the night (and so far this morning) and I slept great.  I think I'm on the mend.  

We Interrupt Today's Regularly Scheduled Post

We interrupt today's regularly scheduled post because I'm a bit under the weather.  I'm afraid I've caught a nasty bug.  I bet I didn't sleep two hours last night, and somehow made it through the day at work.  But I've rested this evening and am getting ready to get back in bed for hopefully a good sleep. 

Stay tuned. 

Not How I Thought My Thursday Would Be

Today didn't turn out quite like I hoped it would.  On the way to work this morning, the Old Blazer overheated.  I remembered what The Old Man had told me years ago - if your car starts to overheat, turn on the heat.  Sure enough, as soon  as I turned on the heat, the temperature gauge went down.  Luckily, the shop I've always used is about a half mile from work, so I was able to get there without major drama.  And one new radiator and one new thermostat later, I'm back in business.

It could have been a hell of a lot worse.  So I'm thankful for the way it all turned out.  As Ricky Bobby would say, the car handled fine. 

Something You Don't Hear Every Day

Overheard at the Dollar General Store a quarter mile down from work this afternoon, and I quote:

"You gonna have to get one of them scooters with all the walking you talking about."
