Bag of Randomness

  • About the only thing I will order at a Starbucks is a cafe mocha.
  • And it’s always a small, or whatever the fancy coffee drinking world calls a small.
  • The instant hot water thingy is working quite well in our house.
  • A very close friend of mine is an editor and recently wrote one of our senators a letter.  When he got the senator’s response, he noticed quite a few of grammatical errors and decided to write back and correct the senator.  That made me laugh.
  • More than likely it’s a form letter put together by a college intern, but either way, it cracked me up.
  • I wonder if it does much good to contact your representative about anything since I suspect they never lay eyes or ears to your communication.  Well, they probably get to see or hear a few, but it would be impossible for them to respond to all of them personally, so they more than likely just have their staff tell them them an overview of what most of the communication was about.
  • I remember contacting several congressmen for a paper I was writing in college.  That was when only a handful of congressmen actually utilized the Web.  At the time, I thought it was pretty cool having congressional sources for my paper, and was the first student to ever do such the thing in my professor’s thirty plus years of teaching.
  • The average age that males first see a copy of Playboy or Penthouse magazine is 11 years old.
  • From the factory, Timex watches are set exactly 10:09:36.
  • Something I recently overheard that made me think, “Art is for rich people and college students.”
  • I really didn’t know much about Joe Medicine Crow, so I had to look him up on Wikipedia, and was quite impressed with this part about how he became the last War Chief of the Crow Tribe without really knowing it.
  • The airport code for Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa, is SUX.
  • The premier of HBO’s Hard Knocks was pretty good.  Lots of former Cowboys – Roy Williams, Tank Johnson, and Mike Zimmer.
  • I think Roy Williams has been on Hard Knocks more than any other player, and Mike Zimmer more than any other coach.
  • One players wife was packing her husband football cleats and said, “That’s love,”  as if what she was doing was a major sacrifice.  All I could think of was his multi-million dollar contract he got by continuing to sacrifice his body and time to support her.
  • I think yesterday’s high was on 93, which made yard work not so bad.
  • I had a dream that the Cowboys first team didn’t take their time on the field against the Raiders seriously, and something bad happened.  I just can’t remember what the bad thing was.
  • I’ve been really pressed for time this week.  All these posts today were done in less than 15 minutes.
