Getting Rough
I am thinking there are some parts of town in most cities where this sign would be real and not a joke. I know in this state it is against the law to cover your face with any kind of mask when you go into a gas station, convenience store or bank. Its sad that they have the need to pass laws like that.

Post Office Blues
I had a box of toys that I bought for my nephew’s birthday gifts and since I can’t attend the party, I wanted to mail them to his house. I bought them in plenty of time to wrap and box them for shipping. Would you believe that this little box of plastic army men weighed less than 10 pounds but cost me $22.59 to ship them? Holy smokes! That costs too much!

17 Decisions
When you play a game of Spades, you need a good partner and the ability to make up to 17 decisions each hand. First, you have to choose a good partner – someone who has basic skills and can work with you as a team.
Then when the cards are dealt, you have to decide what to bid. If you are playing a pass 2 game, you have to decide which two cards to pass to your partner. Then, as the cards get played out, you have to decide 13 times which card to play. If you are to the left of the dealer, you also have to decide which card to lead out for the first trick.
So, that adds up to 17 decisions. If you make a wrong decision on any of those, you can lose the game. I always try to make the good decisions and be ready to take advantage of the opponents when they make a mistake. That’s how I like to win games.

Thursday Discount
Ever notice that Tuesdays are when all the new movies come out on DVD? All the posters at WalMart are always promising these great new movies coming out – NEXT TUESDAY. All the new Redbox rentals come out on TUESDAY.
I say, equal time for THURSDAYS! There is nothing to do on a Thursday night- it is too early to start the weekend partying, and its the day before payday so no one has any money to spend. I say, let Thursday be the new movie night!

Lipstick Sunset
The sun was so red tonight I had to stop the car and snap this picture on my way home. I wish I had my camera with me instead of just this cell phone. It was glorious.
