Thursday Chick Bits

More snow today...... why is it that it seems to snow near the Spring Fling bowling tournament?
I remember last year we had almost record snowfall in 2 days right before the Fling. I had to be out of my apartment lot on a Saturday and got a parking ticket because I'd gone back to grab a sweater.

At least I live in a house now.

Yesterday on my way home from work, I kid you not, this old guy rolls up next to me at a stoplight. He had a cigarette in his left hand sticking out the partially rolled down window, and while he stopped he was smoking a pipe with his right hand.

Talk about muli-tasking.

-------------------------------------------------
Speaking of multi-tasking, I heard on the radio yesterday that multi-tasking causes a person to lose focus and even shortens your life span.

But I guess if you get more done even with a shortened life span, it all works out in the end.
Any years I can shave off the nursing home I'm all for.

I read this morning that a mom who's daughter died from alcohol poisoning at Mankato State is suing not only the bar who served the daughter but also the friends that were with her.

Clearly this woman has never been out drinking with friends in college. When everyone gets wild, crazy, and drunk......you're really not going to think to take your friend to a hospital or call an ambulance.

1. Because you're too drunk yourself to think about that sort of thing
2. you'll fear being caught for underage drinking if you're under 21.
3. Most people who drink often know that passing out is a common occurrence and if you see your friend pass out you don't assume they're dead.

Sad but true, the reality of life is that people do stupid things and accidents happen.

Suing people isn't the answer.

How about, um, maybe mentoring instead. Mentors are greatly needed in a generation pretty much raising itself.

Sadly the hockey season is winding down. The next 2 weekends are the high school hockey tournaments.

Not that I'm into high school hockey per se, but it's a fun social outing and a lot cheaper than trying to see a MN Wild game.

Looks like this June I'll be flying to Washington/British Colombia to visit relatives. My dad offered to pay for the whole thing.
My uncle e-mailed me yesterday saying only "The ocean awaits".

Are they planning to throw me in and be rid of me for good?
Are they selling me to slavery?

In any case, I can't wait to see the mountains and ocean again. It's been far too long.

My relatives said they're going to prostitute me on the Canadian karaoke scene and at this one bar, there's naked -yes NAKED- bull riding on Wednesday nights.

Didn't think the family was into that sort of thing. I declined since I've got a lot that might go flying around....not to mention I don't like to be naked in front of strangers.
They said "no problem. There's girls bigger than you who do it".

Family.......... sometimes I wonder.
