Thoughts for the day
I got a haircut this morning as I
continue to get ready for fall. I called on Tuesday to get an appointment with
Crystal, the stylist I like. Her earliest morning opening was today at 9:30. I
got there at 9:20. She was just finishing up a client. The client paid and
called another guy back for a perm. Then she checked her computer, the same one
she used to make my appointment on Tuesday. She looked at me and said she was
sorry, but ‘someone’ had double booked her. I could get my cut in about 30
minutes after she put the rollers in her client, or she said Sean was very good
and he could cut me now. I reluctantly chose Sean. He did a decent job. I’ll
give Crystal another chance next time.
Dear Politicians, Please find a better
way to fund political campaigns. I am so tired of the hourly requests for
money. They come on the phone, on social media, and in the mail. This campaign
season is the worst…I live in a swing state so everybody wants my vote and my money.
I’m tired of feeling like I am on the Autobahn, put me on a quiet country
paved road.
Even with my soap box on funding,
remember, It’s not a done deal until YOU vote. No excuses, just vote.

Every year that sites ask me for my

The bacteria carried to Mars by our rovers may one day evolve into life, and after a billion years, that life may question its origins.

Slang Words…
Hasta la vista, baby
- Pop
culture reference point: "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991)
It's hard
to hear the phrase "hasta la vista, baby" and not think of Arnold
Schwarzenegger's the Terminator. Before he first said it in the 1991 film
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day," the phrase was previously used in the
songs "Looking for a New Love" by Jody Watley and "Wild
Thing" by Tone Loc. "Terminator 2" director James Cameron has
said he
was inspired by Loc's song.
