"This S*** Writes Itself" And, A Quote Vital To Your Existence

Hi:
I saw a man at the Labor Day 5k and 15k wearing this shirt.

In case you cannot read it, there is a picture of William Shakespeare with the words "This S*** Writes Itself"
I took the picture against the sun, but I had little choice because I'm not good at directing people to move when I'm taking spontaneous photos.

Before I took the picture, his wife (at least I believe that's who it was) said, "I can't believe he wears it in public." No wife, it's great.

Here is a very useful quote from R. Buckminster Fuller, an architect, inventor, systems theorist, and also an author.

"I look for what needs to be done ... After all, that's how the universe designs itself."

Here he is.


Bye, and The End.

Don't Switch Horses Midstream, Sounding Like A Suburban B****, And Well, Random Photos

This is a photo of the car that was left running at Starbucks:

It is the car nearest the front. A dark SUV.

Here is a wonderful phrase. A relative of mine told me recently. I laughed: "No debes cambiar de caballo a la mitad del rio."
The translation is: Don't Switch Horses Midstream.
Stick to Your Plan.
Don't Give Up.

And, speaking of Starbucks (Here we go again), a "barista" recently called out my drink order while I was there. However, the whipped cream that I already had requested was not there. The short story is that I politely reminded her of the whipped cream. She--maybe in her mid 20s--gave me a dirty look. I realized that when I asked for the whipped cream, I must have sounded like a suburban b****. Which OF course, warrants a dirty look and then being nasty.
(I am not currently living in the suburbs, however, I do have roots).
The partial summation is: Don't Mess With My Whipped Cream.

In total summation, this can be a good thing.

I visited H+M, on tax-free weekend. It was at Northpark Mall. There was actually a long line for the dressing room. C'mon people, it's only H+M !

I tried to take some close-up pictures of accessories. This one is neat, I thought, but also includes the price of the accessories.

And:


Goodbye. Thanks for reading,

Staples Rewards, And "Nothin' DUMBER Than A Hummer."

Hello, and greetings,

On my Staples "Rewards" Card, it said, Permanent Member of the Rewards Club.

I glanced at it in the store the other day. For a brief moment, it made me feel good to have a sense of permanence about something. Yes, I am a permanent member. at least Staples loves me!

I saw the bumper sticker in a parking lot recently. Ignore the comment on the sticker at the top, which states, "Non-Violence: Weapon of Mass Compassion."
It was hard to isolate the sticker on the bottom with my iPhone.

Instead, look at the bottom statement: "Nothin' DUMBER than a HUMMER."

If you have not procured this already from my previous blog posts, I completely agree.

I am still groovin to Faux Fox, who are from Dallas, and bizarrely cool.
The CD about which I refer is from 2008. I am anxious to hear something new from them (too anxious, if there is such a thing). Click here to see a review of the very CD, dated Sept. 4, 2008 in the Dallas Observer.

Goodbye.
The End,
Alice
