I am seeing more and more TV ads for trucks where potential buyers are lured into scary old warehouse. Once there, they are shown new trucks. But I guess anyone who is gullible enough to follow a truck sales person into a warehouse, is gullible enough to buy their trucks.

There is a petition drive to sell Montana to Canada. While it is all done in jest, I am sure that some people in Montana are offended.

In the old days, my doctor would write me a prescription and I would take it the pharmacy. And then, within a day of so, I would pick up my medicine. But now a days, they send it over electronically. And when the pharmacy receives it, they send me emails with status updates. And when it works, it works great. However, when it doesn’t work, it may take several days to figure out where it failed. Unfortunately it fails way too many times. But such is high tech.

This time of the year, we get ice shelves on the great lakes. Basically, they are formed by waves and snow on the shore line. Over time, these shelves can extend several thousands of yards out on to the lake. And since they are not level, it is possible to fall from one shelf to another and get stranded on the ice. So, beware. Just because it looks safe, don’t assume that it is safe.

College and universities no longer seem to care about a students financial debt. Rather, they encourage students to go into debt in order finish their degree. After all, the school needs the money asap, while the student has the rest of their life to pay off their loans. And the students blindly follow the advice of the school. Sad.

Scientist have now confirmed that you should not drink urine. I had confirmed that over 60 years ago. And on a related matter, you probable should not eat poo.

Ice hotels are popular this time of the year, but I would not wish to stay in one. I am not that fond of the cold so the thought of sleeping in an ice bed or using an ice toilet just doesn’t appeal to me. Sorry.

I guess that the city hall in LA has a problem with rats. If city hall has rats, what must the rest of the city be like? And I suppose that if they try to get rid of them, the environmentalist will go nuts. Isn’t this how the plague started in the middle ages?

I see ads for concert tickets for people/bands that I have never heard of. And while I am sure that they are popular for some people, I am not one of them. So, I will let others enjoy their music.

The local store are now selling kites. And while there is a good breeze this time of the year, I don’t think that it would be enjoyable to go kite flying.
