They Walk Among Us!

#1: I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave it back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor and gave her the money back. She became indignant and informed me she was a University of SC graduate (big clue there) and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back again…same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64. This actually happened to me in Austin at MoPac Blvd and Parmer Lane .

……………They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail.

#2: I walked into a Mickey D’s with a buy -one-get-one-free coupon for a sandwich. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said “buy one-get-one free.” “They’re already buy-one-get-one-free”, she said, “so I guess they’re both free” She handed me my free sandwiches and I walked out the door.

……………They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail.

#3: One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, “Look at that dead bird!” Someone looked up at the sky and said, “Where?”

……………They Walk Among Us!

#4: While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, “Does the sun rise in the north?” When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, “Oh I don’t keep up with that stuff.”

…………..They Walk Among Us and sell houses!!

#5: I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call enter was open. I told him, “The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” He responded, “Is that Eastern or Pacific time? Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, “Uh, Pacific.”

…………..They Walk Among Us!

#6: My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

…………..They Walk Among Us!

#7: I couldn’t find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. “Now,” she asked me, “has your plane arrived yet?”

…………..They Walk Among Us and propose to give us direction!

#8: While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought abo it for some time before responding. “Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don’t think I’m hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.”

……………Yep, They Walk Among Us and keep up the CPI!

They Walk Among Us, they reproduce, and WORST OF All…………they VOTE Democrat! (or however Oprah tells them they should vote!)

Smallville Season Premiere Is Coming Up!

As much as I like the show, I wouldn’t recommend watching Smallville on "The CW". Too Damned Many Commercials!! Except for the season premiere I think I’ll just wait until I can download them and watch the shows on my computer. THANKS to all those people that edit the commercials out and make it available for downloading! (Usually within hours.)

AND when the stations finally get Really Stupid and start including commercials in the DVD versions of shows I like; well, I can edit the commercials out myself. Or just quit watching the shows…

AND if any television stations are reading this; Take Those Damned Commercial Thingies Off The Bottom Of The Screen! Man, I hate those! Take that damned station identifier off also. I know what channel I’m watching or I wouldn’t be watching it. There isn’t a day goes by that the television stations don’t make a case for NOT watching broadcast tv anymore.

Wow! What A Storm We Had Last Night!

We got more thunder and lightning last night than we’ve had in the past 10 years! It was COOL! Tried to video it but my damned lousy camera wasn’t up to the task. Got some of the thunder but I don’t see any of the lightning flashes.

My brother-in-law, Robert, showed up sometime EARLY this morning. He’s going to be staying with us for awhile.

Not much else going on. It hasn’t been raining but is plenty cloudy. Was thinking about going out to the property and doing ’flood control’ but can’t really see the point. It’ll be muddy and I wouldn’t get anything else done. So I stayed home today and re-stacked the wood I’ve already cut to get it ready for splitting.

Right now I’m taking a break and watching "The Bourne Identity". Just finished the "Bourne Ultimatum". The books are nothing like the movies. Liked them both though.

Remember The Old PCBoard BBS System?

Another Saturday Pretty Much Done…

Pretty normal Saturday for me. Got up early. Went out to the property after SWMBO left for the Genealogy Library. Cut some wood. Loaded it into the truck. Brought it home when I was ready to leave. NICE day! Warm enough for me to take all my clothes off and move some dirt and lay out for awhile. Trying to even out my strange tan! Only top parts of me get tanned ’cause I spend all my time on the digger. Have to get the rest of me tanned before winter (in about 2 weeks!) drops in and it gets too cold to get out.

Just working around the house this evening. Took SWMBO out to dinner so I have only the last several nights dishes to do. Done. Laundry. Done. Listening to "Dirty Jobs" and playing with my Linux virtual drives and still ripping our CD’s. SWMBO said today that she really likes having all her music as mp3 files on one drive. Cool! I really do like making her happy.

And that’s about it. I lead such a boring life!
