A Major League pitcher asked Siri how to get Josh Hamilton, one of the hottest hitters in the game right now, out? Siri acted like Siri didn't understand the Someone needs to come up with a pronoun for Siri. It's so arrogant for people, computers and whatever Siri is to refer to their existence in the third person. This is an important issue for the people to address in contrast to the same sex marriage issue which is gonna happen, it's just a matter of time.
 

A 16 year old boy was drinking with friends at a house. He left the house and laid down in the street. He was hit and killed by a car.
 

Seven days ago a white woman was stabbed walking by the river. Before she died she told police her attacker was a black male in his 30s with a lazy eye. The police have a list of suspects but have not arrested anyone.

Yesterday the police went public urging the community not to engage in racial profiling. They stated that the vast majority of black men in our community are law abiding citizens and not every black male fitting the description of the killer could be considered a suspect. The police have received leads which are dead ends. Every lead must be investigated and dead end leads delay their investigation by leading officers on wild goose chases, my terminology.

It seems that our community learned little from the Trayvon Martin murder. If this murder happened in your community would the people react differently? I hope they would be rational in their desire to find justice.

 

One of the tenants in my building is using the Tide pods for her laundry. I read the public relations jibber-jabber on the package and bought in. A package of 72 pods cost $18 = 25 cents per wash. After dropping a pod in the wash I stuck around to see if it would dissolve. Sure enough it did, all is good.

I took my comforter and a wool throw blanket to the laundry-mat. After placing them in a large capacity washer I plugged $6 worth of quarters in the monster. For that price I was gonna be entertained so I watched the front load washer twist and turn the items among splashes of water. Of course the dryer provided more entertainment with the comforter and blanket spreading their wings flying around and around and around. I never said I was a complicated person.

Maybe ten years ago I purchased a Verilux desk lamp for bed time reading. Just now I decided to think about ordering a replacement bulb, I'm reading The Presidents Club. The reorder form indicted the replacement bulb would cost $20. The bulb has an expected life of 10,000 hours. I did some not so fancy math and estimated my current bulb has an expected life of 38 years. The damn bulb will last long than I will . I am returning to my reading confident that I will not need to order a replacement bulb.

Close captioning of television programs is a tremendous benefit for obvious reasons. While on a treadmill I enjoy watching programs and reading what people say. The other day ESPN was featuring a story on the NFL draft. The close caption person did a nice job keeping up with all the jibber-jabber coming out of the guests mouth. I just had to laugh when I read that New England was going to draft Ben Affleck. Who knew good ole Ben was a football star?

The people performing close captioning do a great job. Mistakes are going to happen. Some names, places and things are difficult to spell correctly quickly. Give 'em a read and get a good .

This morning leaving for my health club a SWAT team was outside my door and police had my car surrounded. Seems like the heroin dealer arrested yesterday implicated me in the drug ring, saying I was a drug lord and financed the operation by stealing cars. Then I get to the health club and the greeter swiping my ID card paused, looked at me and said the computer shows my picture however my name is Rachael. Now I'm a drug lord who just came outta the closet big time.

Of course I had to visit Wal-Mart and comparison shop the mens shorts I bought via the Internet yesterday. The cheapest pair was $10. They were better quality of material than my 2 for $5 shorts but I'm happy. Of course I brought along my cloth bags to hold my purchases (I'm a green drug lord in drag). The associate showed me the Wal-Mart shopping bag. Very impressive. Heavy material with a portable hard bottom, $4.

The Canadian border agents searched my vehicle one time for drugs and guns. They were certain I was hiding them. After ripping my vehicle apart and putting everything back they said I was free to go. As I started my car they asked one more time if I had guns or drugs. I couldn't help but laugh. They followed me for a couple minutes why I have no idea. Of course the American agents searched me again when I returned to the States. I'm damn lucky they didn't find my dresses.

Now I have to figure out how to go to the bathroom.

About 12 years ago tired of cheap, poor performing hair trimmers I bought a hair trimmer from Sharper Image. It was expensive but I have no regrets. It is the gold standard of hair trimmers in my humble opinion. This afternoon I cleaned the hair trimmer. Being the klutz that I am I damaged the trimmer and couldn't repair it. In searching for one of my cheap hair trimmers I kept as a back up I found a replacement trimmer for the Sharper Image trimmer. I forgot I had it.

Now my Sharper Image trimmer is as good as new and I'm a happy camper. I researched my trimmer model and found that Sharper Image no longer makes it. Instead they make what looks to be a less heartier model of trimmer. I'm as happy as a pig in slop. If you've ever seen a pig in slop you knew that's damn happy.

Yesterday a SWAT team raided a suspected drug house in my hood. They arrested a heroin dealer suspected of dealing. Two children were living in the house and have been taken to CPS.

Today I stopped by the local car wash to get change in order to do laundry. Four police cars had surrounded a car on the property. The police were standing around, talking with each other. As I was getting change I overheard a police man say the car was stolen. There had to be more to the story given the number of police dealing with the situation.

Probably the majority of neighborhoods around the country have some amount of freaky-tiki activity. It pays to beware of your surroundings and take actions to reduce your exposure to suspicious behavior.

I lounge around in shorts, year around. They were becoming very ratty, even for me. I never wear them in public, except for walking up a flight of stairs in my apartment house to get mail. Long shirts cover most of the ratty areas. Wal-Mart was my answer. A two pack of Hanes lounging shorts for $6.50, shipping and tax included. It would cost me more in fuel to buy them at the store. Now when someone is at my door I won't have to change clothes before answering it. Can life get any better?
