In My Head

I was walking on a busy expressway with my trusty pet horse when I realized “This is dangerous. We have to get off of here.” We walked up one of the exit ramps, and it lead to a Lowes (like Home Depot) parking lot. It was either that or the highway, so we continued towards Lowes. Five very angry dobermans were behind a chain link fence slightly succeeding in breaking it down to get to us. I knew we had to get out of there and fast! A ladder lead to the Lowes attic. I told my pet horse that he had to go up that ladder. He looked at me as if to say “No f’n way!” I told him it was that or the doberman pinschers. He went up. It was no feat getting him back down either, but with the help of the Lowes staff we were on our way. Now we’re walking down this lonely country highway. As the sun is setting, my pet horse recalls the last time we were in a bind. “Remember when those kids were being mean to me, and you said ‘get in the hole’? That was a fiasco!”

Guess what I WON’T be doing on my 4th of July?

Disney Eggs:  They’re Eggs.  By Disney.
Just how long do you think it’ll take before kids catch on that they’re plain old eggs?  Does marketing know no boundries?  Trying to trick kids into believing that the plain old eggs are going to come out magically Mickey-shaped….  I want to know: 1. Do the eggs come with the mold? 2. How much does said mold cost? 3. Does egg seep out from under edges of said mold, rendering shape unrecognizable, as has been the case with other egg-shapery?

It appears that even marine life is affected by the current healthcare crisis.  Thankfully, this is one turtle who insited on treatment!

Great article in The Atlantic this month.  Though it is long, it was very interesting in looking at the history of past economic crises and what it took to break out of them and predicts what areas of the country and what factors about those areas are going to make it easier for them to survive and flourish  after this current upheaval.  For those of you in transition of some sort, wondering where and how to make this time eventually work for you, this article may have some good insights.
