I recently stayed in a motel that had motion sensing light switches.  And, while the concept was nice, the reality of it was a challenge.

When I first entered the room, I had to turn on the lights manually.  No problem.  But, while working on my PC, the lights went out.  So, I had to jump up and down to get the lights back on.

And, the lights went out while I was taking a shower.  This was a bit more of a challenge since there was a shower curtain between me and the sensor.   But, I managed.

And of course, in the middle of the night, the lights turned on for no apparent reason.

I hate motion sensing light switches.

At my local gas stations, they seem to have bags of water conditioning salt sitting nest to the gas pumps.  I guess they figure that if you need gas, you probably need water conditioning salt.

Unfortunately, they place these salt bags right next to the car door.  So, when I open my car door, the corner of the door catches the salt bag and leaves a little hole in it.

Eventually, the bag will rip and spill salt.  But, that probably won’t happen until winter.  Then, no one will care.

I saw an ad, the other day, promising a five digit income to any one who completed this computer course.  Wow!  Five Digit income.  That is $10,000 plus a year.  That is almost as much as you can make working at McDonalds.

Now, I am sure that the ad was thinking along the lines of $90,000 plus a year.  But, five digit is rather vague.

So, take the class.  You may not make more that a McDonalds employee but you may not have to work as hard.

Over the years, I have seen people wear sunglasses on various parts of their bodies.  The most common place for sunglasses is over ones eyes.  But, the second most common place is on top of the head.  Followed by around the neck and then finally behind the head.

But the other day, I saw someone wearing their sunglasses on their chin.  This seemed rather strange but what ever.

The other day, I needed deodorant.  And while I always look for the same packaging, I realize that it does change.  So, when a discovered my brand in a different package, I didn’t think anything of it.  But then I saw my deodorant in the packaging that I am used to seeing.  So, I wondered, what is the difference.

Well, the unfamiliar package was women deodorant and it was twice the price of my regular deodorant.  So, what is the difference I wondered?

I checked the ingredients and they looked the same.  I checked the quantity and the women s’ actually contained a little less.  The only real difference was the label and the price.  FWIW.

A Lansing topless bar has volunteered to clean a 1 mile portion of the interstate.  It is nice to know that they are constantly looking out for the good of mankind.

The other day, while shopping at Meijer (regional grocery chain) I noticed that they had “high energy” suet on sale.  I had never heard of “high energy” suet and I had to wonder if that was like “Red Bull” for birds?

While eating breakfast in a national restaurant chain, I noticed that I was the only person eating there.  That meant that I was the only one that the waitress could talk to.  And so, I got a rehash of last night’s CNN news.  I just smiled and ate my eggs “over easy”.

The other day, I had breakfast in a national restaurant chain.  I ordered eggs, sausage and wheat toast.  I could tell by the look on her face and the way that she was rocking back and forth, that my waitress did not approve of my selection.

So, she asked me if I wanted hash browns.  I told her “no”.   She told me that if I ordered the “family breakfast”, it would be cheaper but it came with hash browns.  So, I asked if I could order the “family breakfast” without the hash browns.   And she told me “no”.  So, I ordered the “family breakfast”.

Life it just too short to worry about hash browns.

The other day, I had breakfast in a national restaurant chain.  I ordered eggs “sunny side up”.  The waitress told me that they didn’t have eggs “sunny side up”.  They only had eggs “over easy”.  I told her that eggs “sunny side up” are like eggs “over easy” except that you don’t turn them over.

I could tell by the blank look on her face that this conversation was a total waste of time.  So I ordered eggs “over easy.”

“you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em….”
