Bag of Randomness for Thursday, June 8, 2017

  • I hope President Trump live tweets during the Comey hearing. CSPAN could make the hearing look like an episode of “Pop-up Video” every time he tweets, but each pop-up cloud would have to have the presidential seal.
  • The first two-thirds of last night’s ‘Fargo’ was exceptional television. I’m surprised the show is so consistently good, but I guess the secret each season is to use a new cast and storyline.
  • Each year the city of Lewisville holds their Fourth of July fireworks show near Vista Ridge Mall, and we usually get a good view from either our front or back yard. They are considering moving it further north near city hall and will be conducting a fireworks test show on Monday, June 12, at 9:15 PM which will last about 30-45 minutes. Residents are encouraged to watch the test shoot and provide feedback.
  • Father Builds Cardboard Star Wars Snowspeeder for His Daughter’s Drive-In Movie at School – I love what the father did, but I never heard of a drive-in movie concept at an elementary school, and that’s pretty cool. It would be neat for each kid to make their own “vehicle”, throw up a projector, and make them watch a movie in it. Heck, it would be a cool fundraising opportunity.
  • I’ll never get around to organizing and deleting items I’ve bookmarked in my web browser.
  • Looking back at 7 of history’s most notable Congressional hearings and testimonies
  • VICE – How the Abandoned Nuclear Wasteland of Chernobyl Became a Bachelorette Party Town
  • Weddings of the 0.01 Percent  – Cristal! Caviar! Chris Martin! How the rich (and sometimes famous) get married.
  • When it comes to burger construction, lettuce, tomatoes, and such should be placed on top of the meat. And, condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and mayo should be put under the meat. Doing so prevents a squishy mess and bun-slidage.
  • When Amazon.com’s web pages go down, you see pictures of employees’ dogs.
  • VICE – I Fooled Wall Street and the Mafia as an Undercover FBI Agent

Bag of Randomness for Wednesday, June 7, 2017

  • While driving home from the hospital yesterday after DaughterGeeding’s ER visit, BoyGeeding broke the silence with, “DaughterGeeding, you were very brave today in the hospital.”
  • WifeGeeding actually wanted BoyGeeding to stay at a friend’s house instead of going to the hospital, but I think it’s important not to shelter kids from reality and provide proper exposure as a learning experience. He may have been proud of his sister, but I was proud of him because his behavior was exceptional.
  • WifeGeeding had an odd Wal-Mart experience yesterday, but then again, aren’t all Wal-Mart experiences a bit odd? A woman, probably in her late twenties, was upset at the cashier for not loading the groceries bags into her cart. The cashier already bagged the groceries, three in total, but didn’t place them in the cart which upset the woman. I can’t recall a time any Wal-Mart cashier actually placed the bagged groceries in the cart. The women ranted on, asking the cashier if she would have placed the groceries in the cart if her arm was broken.
  • Georgia news – People rescued after apartment removes stairs
    • Firefighters rescued several people trapped on the second floor of an apartment building after the complex removed the stairs.
  • I have a friend named Scott who lives in Runaway Bay and can’t get a hold of him as I think he changed his phone number and email. If you are out there, drop me a line. If you entered the Witness Protection Program, disregard this message.
  • While chauffeuring the family around a song came on the radio which reminded me of a special moment WifeGeeding and I shared on my 40th birthday on the way to pick up our children after our hike up Guadalupe Peak, something totally out of the norm for me. The moment I shared with her was really special to me, something that made me think strengthened our bond and understanding of each other, and I remember her being real emotional about it and even brought to tears. As the song played I brought up the moment, but WifeGeeding had no memory of it whatsoever. I felt empty and just wanted to mosey away.
  • I prefer writing in blue ink.
  • A lengthy article about basketball nets of all things.
