Well, I had my first encounter with a Chevy Volt on the expressway this morning.  And yes, you guessed it, it was driving 55 MPH in the left lane during rush hour traffic.

I managed to pass it on the right but it is only a matter of time before someone rear-ends it.  Maybe that it  why they catch on fire.

Menards is one of my favorite hardware/lumber stores.  But, every time I go into the store, the overhead music is so loud that I have a problem hearing what the store clerks have to say.  But, since the overhead music is advertising for Menards, the volume level may contribute to customer brain washing.  Either that or the store manager is hard of hearing.

The other day when I was in the deli section of Meijer (regional grocery chain) I noticed that they now carry fresh refrigerated soup in individual serving containers.  Since it was a cold and  icky day, hot soup sounded good to me.  So, I bought some broccoli cheddar.

It was fantastic!!  Good flavor, good texture and just the right amount of salt.  While is was a little pricier than the canned stuff, it was well worth it.

I will be trying the other varieties very soon.

A family in Florida awoke to discover that their entire front lawn had sunk into the ground.  Authorities suspect that it might be caused by a sink hole.

Hello!!!  If not a sink hole, then what caused it?  Did a thief come along and steal their front lawn?  Maybe the hole was caused by a meteorite.

Some of these authorities need to get a real job.

While it is illegal to own a gun in Chicago, that hasn’t prevent the people of Chicago from getting shot.  So, Chicago is proposing a tax on bullets.

Maybe they can use the revenues to support the Coroners Office.

I woke up at 3 AM this morning to what sounded like a party in my living room.  Disgruntled, I got up to see what was going on.

There was no party but the TV was on and tuned to a late night talk show.  I concluded that the cat must have stepped on the remote and turn on the TV.  I shut it off and went back to bed.

I may have to make a point in putting the remote away at night.

One of my neighbors has a giant inflatable Santa and a giant inflatable snowman.  Well, sometime during the night, Santa and Frosty went flat.

Their misshapen remains in the grass made it look more like a homicide scene than a Christmas display.  But, in a few hours, they were back on their feet again.

Cream of Mushroom soup is on sale this week at Meijer(regional grocery chain).  They had case after case of the stuff sitting in the main isle.

Must be sales were lower than expected this Thanksgiving.  I wonder if they also have a surplus of green beans?

Today, I was in Meijer (regional grocery chain) when I heard “Frosty the Snowman” playing over the PA system.  I couldn’t constrain myself and yelled “NOOOOOOOO!!!”  But, everyone ignored me.

I guess Thanksgiving is finished for the year.

Recently, I discovered that a woman, on one of my dating websites, goes to my church.  So, it seemed like a natural to ask her out.  But, every time that I asked, she had a million excuses to decline.  I soon got the idea that she really wasn’t interested in dating me.

When I told a friend of mine from church about the dilemma, he told me not to take it personally.

Not to take it personally??!!  How else should I take it?  She is not going out with me because of something personal about me.

Well, I am not surprised.  I met her on Christian Mingle and Christian Mingle is home to the curious and not the serious.
