No joke, a man wearing a GORILLA SUIT once walked within 12 inches of me and I never noticed him.

Too true Genuine Risk.
I wonder if the guy is still sitting outside of Grand central. He'd sit there day after day muttering very strange things as his head bounced back and forth.
Rain, snow...he was there everytime I went past. Most everyone else never seemed to notice him. My guess is that they were used to him.

btw, my son lives on the upper west side near Riverside. He used to live in the village. Fun place.

but doesn't everyone carry jumper cables?
one of my employees said tumped over this morning. we had a big storm cell come thru, and she was worried the wind would 'tump' her truck over. funny that i've almost gotten used to that phrase, as well as 'fixin ta'--oh, but i don't use either--i refuse to conform.

here in our small town, they have a 'world famous armadillo festival'. there is a contest on who can catch the largest armadillo. i kid you not!! but of course it pales in comparison to 'toad suck days'. yep, there's a place called toad suck. but then, we have a 'bald knob' as well....

and no, i don't lock my doors very often. matter of fact, i have about 12k worth of atv's sitting in my garage, door up, with keys in the ignition...right next to the riding lawnmower...key in it as well.

but we don't need alarms systems here, or locks. everyone knows that smith, wesson, colt, and winchester are all the protection we need!!

oh yeah..one other thing.

this morning, i was over in camden. city of about 18k. walking thru the parking lot, and a front license plate catches my eye. we only have rear plates here, so many get something with a deer, or a fish, or whatever, on their front.
this poor soul paid good money to get a plate made. the top word caught my eye, but couldn't tell you the bottom.


bonified. this person was a bonified something....
but i hesitated over the bonified. that isn't right, i thought to myself. not at all.

it's BONA FIDE. lol oh boy.

we were driving thru murfreesboro a couple of years ago--this is the place with the only public diamond mine that anyone can go and dig for diamonds, and people do find some nice ones. at any rate--drove by a store, who had a sign they had bought from a bona fide (lol) sign maker.
they were a jewlery store.. not jewelry, jewlery. cause dats how ya say it.

ah yes, life is so amusing at times.
