People ???

What is wrong with people? What makes them function as they do? What makes them say the things they do? I was checking out at my local Walmart this evening. The young lady cashier noticed the Bob Marley Shirt I was wearing and said "My brother got arrested for wearing a shirt just like that." What do you say to something like that? I continued gathering my groceries for which I just paid. She continued, "He was doing forty-seven in a forty and the cop said 'you look like a trouble-maker.' So he never wore the shirt again because he did not want to go to prison." I took a brief moment to contemplate why Walmart's management thought she was coherent enough to interact with the public. I left, groceries in cart.....then it rained.

Der Vaterland...Arlington, Texas

Once again, I am amazed at Gestoppo Arlington. I recently bought a tool shed for my backyard. Not very big & certainly not permanent. None-the-less Der Vatererland(aka The City of Arlington Texas) required a permit. I was told an inspector might come by to inspect the shed. There is only one way into my backyard, through the gate. Leaving the gate unlocked so he can inspect the building, I wait....So, I come home today, and what do I find? A RED FLAG because the gate access to my shed was not locked as required. Heil Dumb-A Inspector!!

More than I wanted to know

I ate lunch at the new location of Jason's Deli today. I was by myself so I sat at a table in the back directly in front of the TV. If you have not been to the new location I highly recommend checking it out. It is very nice and they have gotten rid of the cramped up tables by installing an extra portion of roominess. However, I do not recommend sitting at the table directly in front of the TV as I did. This table as I soon discovered, is also directly in front of the door to the ladies room. The problem with this is the designer or someone in charge of architecture forgot to put a partition wall inside the door, so every time the door opened, I had a direct view of all 4 stalls. Not that I saw anything and Not that I was trying, But it did make me feel creepy and uncomfortable. I called a manager over to point out this obvious over-sight in design. The manager, a young lady whom appeared to be about 27 or 28 years old did not seem too concerned as her only reply was "well, all the stalls have doors so you can't see anything."..........I'll leave this story right here
