Day 509: Happiness is a Warm Moist Towel

What is it about a scalding hot moist towel that can magically brighten your day when sitting on a terrible long flight? They are simply amazing! But, it’s always such a letdown 30 second later when they become ice cold and icky… but at least life was really good for those 30 seconds!

Day 505: Euro-Shopping Carts

I can’t remember if I’ve talked about this previously… but it I have, I don’t care… this is a major problem that needs the world’s attention. Although I might sing the praises of living in Europe there is a volatile issue that perplexes me. European Shopping Carts!

For some reason, technological advancements in shopping cart designs have not made it worldwide. What design do you ask? Well, I will tell you: The concept of non-pivoting rear wheels.

American’s, DO NOT take your shopping carts for granted! Just imagine pushing a cart with four pivoting wheels… and now imagine needing to make a last minute turn down an aisle. It’s not going to be pretty… trust me. You will have zero control.

What I wouldn’t do for a couple of c-clamps right about now.

Day 501: The Beer Crate Guys – Part II

Beyond my desire to track their migration… I am fascinated by the possible impact The Beer Crate Guys have on an organizational level.

As previously mentioned, sometimes there is just one representative… sometimes there are 20. And the question at hand is this: in the Beer Crate Guy bylaws, how many does it take to have a coram?

Seriously, is there a set schedule in regards to observances? Are their mandatory days where all members must attend? And some days that are optional? Or are some Guys only expected to put in part-time hours? Part-time employment would make sense due to the world economic crisis.

Sometimes, when there are quite a few Guy in attendance, I have noticed that they have broken into two groups. What is the function of these groupings? Are there separate factions? Have The Beer Crate Guys fallen victim to partisanship?

Or are these smaller groups intended for small group sharing? Is it a safe place for these guys to share their fears and passions in a safe environment?

Or have some Beer Crate Guys achieved a higher level of degrees or experience points and are now venerated among the Beer Crate sitting communities, no longer expected to fraternize with those of lesser experience and commitment?

Or are they simply talking Red Rover strategy for their upcoming rumble?

Who know?
