Not sure if I mentioned this before, but there's this dude in Freedom. Let's call him FRED. I see him most mornings. He walks up and down the sidewalk.. looking down on the road next to the curb.. as if he is looking for something. The only thing that I can come up with is that he is looking for change. But... why would change be on the ground, next to the sidewalk? There are no parking meters down there. When people exit their vehicles, does change usually fall out of their pockets onto the streets? I am so curious about this. I REALLY want to ask this guy what he's looking for. Then, even tho I'm not a fan of giving bums money, I might give him a few quarters. Since I bothered him and all. I could throw some out the window when I drive by if I see him. But then I'd feel like a big Douche. Like some rich snob, throwing my money to the Poor People. That's not very nice. I am assuming everything here, but I assume the guy is all alone. I assume he is a major alcoholic. I assume he has no job and I assume he has very little money. And very little to eat. I wonder where he lives. He's Very skinny and he usually rocks a beard, but he is completely shaven like once or twice a year. [Yes, I've been driving by this dude for Years] I'm afraid if I stop and talk with him, he's gonna act all crazy. He looks crazy. Maybe around Christmas if I see him I can stop and hand him an envelope with a 20 in it. Do you think he'll buy booze with it? You bet your ass he will.
I don' think I mentioned this yet either. Kids making tents and forts out of couches and couch cushions, etc. What a Great part of childhood, eh? So much fun can be had w/out spending a dime. [That reminds me of pots & pans.. and boxes being a favorite for toddlers] We need to re-kindle our kids' imagination. I think it's already built-in, but technology is introduced so early now.. the imagination gets lost. I bet there are some parents out there that don't let their kids take apart the couch to build forts. That's a real shame, however, this is where Friends come in. This is why friendship is such an incredible thing. Especially childhood friendship. If you don't have cool parents... you can go to your friend's house and build a fort with THEM. :)
......I have this note in my... notes.. section of my phone. I have NO IDEA what this means. It says:
Snyder 18 24 2 4.
Huh???????
Two things I think of when I see Snyder. The chips and the dude from oh... What was that show? ...thinking.... Oh. One Day at a Time. The maintenance guy, Snyder. I always said "Sh-ny-der". It's just what I say.. but recently I changed it to the "proper" S-ny-der. Whatever. Just like I sold out and changed "Crick" to "Creek". What the hell's wrong with me?
lol. Not sure yinz have heard of "Walmart Combos". You pick 3 of the most random things that one could legitimately purchase at Walmart. 3 things that Completely do not go together... and it's usually hysterical. I find it hysterical anyway. Here is one a cousin of mine came up with. It's the best one I've heard yet.
Panty Liners, a Cross Bow and Half n' Half.
Ha!!!!!!!! Effing hilarious.
Did you know that "We are participants in the activities of the solar system" ? I found that to be a very interesting quote. Also....
I had a sudden realization about dinosaurs the other day. I was watching a documentary about how they were wiped out... and.. I started Really thinking about it.. and... I had this Really Strange feeling when I TRULY realized that these enormous creatures ACTUALLY walked this Earth! Craziness!!
