- I had a conversation with a man earlier this week who worked hard at the opportunity to tell me his wife was getting a breast reduction the next day.
- We ate at Waffle House on Saturday. Around 8:00 AM a hearse and two limousines parked and four living soles dressed in professional attire walked in. One man in the party offered to pay for everyone’s meal but vehemently stated he doesn’t buy drinks, so someone else in the party asked if all the drinks could be put on his tab. In case you were wondering, we noticed there was a coffin in the hearse as we drove off, but I had no idea if it was empty.
- Fox4 meteorologist Jennifer Myers is leaving the station to work at an electric company. Apparently, the station mandated that she wear a straight-haired wig on the air to cover up her naturally curly hair.

- News coverage of bad weather and wildfires have grown tiresome to me but the lava flow in Hawaii has certainly caught my attention. I learned yesterday there is no such thing as lava insurance.

- I’ve noticed President Trump likes to sign things using this small table. It’s a petty thing for me to fret about, but as a lover of presidential history, I don’t like the optics. The table seems a bit budget and doesn’t bring enough oomph. I guess it’s done to accommodate more press in a room larger than the Oval Office.

If I had to guess, what you observed Saturday was the staff from a funeral home who was taking a body to a graveside service out of town (although it’s weird to have four people, since that’s typically that’s a 1- or 2-person job). And the odds of that being an empty casket are next to none. If a funeral home needs to transfer an empty casket, they’ll generally use a Suburban. It’s a lot cheaper to repair/replace if there’s an accident. The hearse (which is crazy expensive) only rolls out on an actual service, where someone is paying the bill for using the hearse.
