I have a sudden interest in quantum physics, ah, if I were only forty seven years younger.
I sent Grandson Nicholas a text yesterday asking if he would cut my hair Thursday. I'm balding so I've buzzed it very short for the past year. Nick has an electric clipper (I think it was originally for the dog) and he's pretty good with it. And what's the worst thing that can happen? He screws it up and I wear a hat.
Eventually I received a text from him. Yes, he will shear my locks and he's sorry for taking so long to get back to me. He was at work etc. etc. I think it's a good thing he doesn't respond to texts while he's at work.
The exchange:
Nov 26 10:06 a.m. Nick, can you cut my hair Thursday?
Nov 26 07:13 p.m. Yes I can!
Nov 26 07:14 p.m. Thanks C U (I'm getting good with 'text speak') then.
Nov 26 07:15 p.m. Sounds good. I forgot you text me until now because I was at work when I first got the text sorry
Nov 26 07:18 p.m. Its fine, I have no life so I have all the time in the world
Nov 26 07:21 p.m. Haha I find it the opposite with me. I never have enough time. But you already went through my stage in life so you know how it is
Nov 26 07:22 Yes I sure do
You already went through my stage in life so you know how it is? Smart Ass.
Actually I think that's very perceptive.
So it got me thinking, would I do anything different if I could go back to that stage in my life?
I wouldn't get married at 19.
I would have kept my 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible
I would have kept in touch with Penny Maybaum
I think that's about it.
American Food Holiday's: Today, November 27th is Bavarian Cream Pie Day. Bavarian Cream Pie, how American. And it's not even from Bavaria, it originated in France.
News from my home state:
Michigan man Zachary Davis has been camped outside of a Best Buy in Rochester Hills, Michigan since 2 a.m. on Saturday in anticipation of getting some great deals six days later on Black Friday.
The 21-year-old has outfitted his tent with a few amenities to help him survive the cold. “Blankets, air mattress, sleeping bag and I have my iPad in there for reading and all that,” he said.
Davis has four friends with him to help him pass the time and they are taking shifts saying at the tent while local temperatures drop down to the 20s.
“A lot of people think it’s the deals but it’s just as much the fun of being here with my friends, they aren’t here right now, but we take shifts for work and school, so it just happens to be me right now, but they’ll be here,” he said. Best Buy has no problem with their guests.
“We do not have them go away (if it gets too cold),” said store manager Pierre Bickham. “It’s up to them as to whether they want to stay there for the weekend. We’ll let them use the restroom and such. There’s no ordinance, no one is telling them not to do it from a city ordinance standpoint."
I'm proud to say I'm from Detroit. Call the Guinness people, the city has a new record.
On Tuesday afternoon, Detroit Police announced that one of the most violent cities in the U.S. will have something to be thankful for when residents are tucking into their turkeys and mashed potatoes while they watch the Lions play on Thursday.
“The City of Detroit has seen its longest period of non-violence in years. Thirty six hours of not one murder or one non-fatal shooting,” Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody said in a press release issued at 2:31 pm Tuesday. Given the timing of the release, that meant that the city had been violence-free since 2:31 am Monday.
“I think the longest period we’ve gone without any shootings or murders was 28 hours back in October,” Woody added.
“We can directly attribute this decline to the dedication of the hardworking men and women of this department and the continuing assistance of the citizens of this great city,” Woody said.
Or, maybe everyone is waiting in line for Black Friday?
In 2012 there were 347 homicides in Detroit.
Is it OK to do it in the men's room?
An Oklahoma woman shopping at a Walmart in Tulsa, Okla., last week saw something a lot more shocking than the store’s rolled back prices.
During a trip to the women's restroom, Beth Davis says she discovered a naked man standing in the mirror masturbating with his pants at his ankles.
"There's a naked man in the bathroom masturbating," she shouted, leaving the restroom. She continued yelling for help, but the man emerged before anyone heard.
After he came out of the bathroom, Davis began filming him with her cell phone. He told her that he didn’t know it was the women's bathroom, but that answer didn’t fly with Davis.
She followed the man, identified as 37-year-old Brian Hounslow, yelling, "Someone stop him!" and "Do not let him go out that door. Stop this man!"
Hounslow ran out of the store and escaped in his car, but not before someone was able to take down his license plate number. He was arrested at his home two hours later.
"Who gets up at 8:30 in the morning and decides they're going to go to Walmart, take off all their clothes and masturbate in the women's bathroom?" Davis said. "It's pretty sick ... How could you think you weren't going to get caught?"
Hounslow was given a $5,000 bond and a slap on the back of his hand.
