Walmart Self-Checkout

After shopping at the local Walmart and noticing how it didn't appear to be well stocked (except in groceries) or cleaned, I took my purchases to the self-checkout . Unlike at the grocery store, this machine did not accept my initial "Credit" selection and proceeded to try to process my card as "Debit." I pushed the button that said "Change Payment;" and it beeped and did nothing else. I finally flagged down one of the English speaking employees who pressed the exact same button. It worked for her and she condescendingly told me just to push "Change Payment." I told her that I had, but she just walked off as if she were superior to me—in that way that Walmart employees like to do.

Colin Kaepernick

It would serve everyone right if Colin Kaepernick went to play football for another country and made millions of dollars while doing it. That would sure show everyone! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000691077/article/colin-kaepernick-explains-why-he-sat-during-national-anthem

Can't Win Argument

There is no point in arguing with someone who already has their mind made-up—who will cite impossible to verify “facts,” and will refuse to acknowledge real, factual data or ever admit that they might not be anything except 100% correct.

Lazy People Are Smarter?

http://yournewswire.com/study-finds-lazy-people-significantly-more-intelligent/ While listening to the news this morning, I heard about a “study” that says that lazy people are smarter than everyone else. My first thought was, ”Hey! I know that guy!” Then I thought, ”Wow! You posted all those pictures on Facebook? You need to rest dude! ”

The Sky is Right...

This was the sky I saw this morning! In spite of the driver (who was in a hurry) who nearly hit me this morning, or the lies that fueled the riots, or the people shot to death (whose lives mattered) by bad people with guns (whose lives matter), and the "good" job that didn't pay that well (that I passed on), or the work and worries that lay ahead, the world is still a beautiful place for the most part...

Stuffed Peppers!

I make stuffed peppers about once each year when the tomatoes and peppers are abundant and in season. They were amazing...
