Hmmm

Things I noticed while out and about include:

A white car apparently driven by nobody turning directly in front of a another car. Turns out there was a tiny, little fuzzy-haired old lady driving the white car. She probably didn't see the other car because she was so little she was looking between the steering wheel and the dashboard.

There seem to be a lot of McCain supporters in town. Or, at least, there are a lot of signs in evidence.

Farmers are still not back in the fields. Too wet.

I'm not the only female who finds herself talking to air when trying to converse with the Male.

Some people can put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5. This is quite a feat but not so much as keeping a straight face as they are doing it.

It's a good idea to read the directions when using an unfamiliar device.

Age and grey hair don't always equate with wisdom.

Males, on average, prefer to do things the hard way even when there is a much easier way to do them.

FEMA sucks.

Radio Shack is still better than any Big Box Store.

There are always weird things along the side of the highway.

You can't be naughty out in public because someone who knows someone who knows you will see.

Young males who walk around in public with their boxers hanging out shouldn't be surprised when they get nasty comments from old ladies.

Women seem to have a lot more intestinal fortitude than men.

Some people are just born mean.

PJ O'Rourke is right a lot of the time. Sean Hannity is wrong all of the time.

Neighbors are all fine and good as long as they keep their noses out of one's business.

Getting frustrated in traffic is an exercise in futility.

Gas prices are going down while the price of everything else is going up.

High fructose corn syrup may be the bane of modern life.

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
