Every Picture Towels a Story

Yesterday I was in a restroom in a building I rarely visit. After washing my hands I approached the paper towel dispenser. There was a picture on the front of the unit providing instructions as to how to get paper towels out. I interpreted the picture as indicating that there was a motion detector in the unit and I just needed to wave my hands to get the paper towel. So I waved my hands around for a few seconds hoping after a few waves that the other men in there with me weren’t watching. But the towel would not come out.  Eventually another guy had to dry his hands. He used the dispenser down by sink #4 and simply pushed the lever underneath the dispenser to get his towel.  So I had to tell him I was trying to loosen up my sprained wrist. 

Get the picture?

Wedding Ball

 

I’ve been told I need to be “more positive” in my attitude regarding the Travis Kelce / Britney Spears engagement announcement. Hey, I’ve got nothing against these people. They have every right to get married.  I just don’t think it’s front page stuff. I don’t pay that much attention to it…

Now we’re hearing that Britney might do the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl. Wouldn’t that be something? But they need to take it to the next level. I want to see them get married at the Super Bowl halftime show. Hopefully (for them) Kansas City will be in the Super Bowl…

But an even cooler event would be to get Brittney and Travis into one of those state farm commercials with Patrick Mahomes, the coach, and that out of tune State Farm guy.

Wait, let’s ramp it up even further! Let’s have them get married on the State Farm commercial. That way we can see it 20 times every game. Premier it during the Super Bowl. More people watch the commercials during the Super Bowl than the halftime show anyway. I’m positive!

Circulation Issues

Sorry for not posting anything lately. I've been on vacation and been out of circulation Speaking of circulation, the library in the neighborhood where I grew up is closing. The excuse they're giving is that the building is not on a main road and people can't find it. Seriously. So, I'm wondering if it's a case of people going there and borrowing books and then not being able to find the library to return them maybe? The library has been there for like 100 years; for people to say now that it's difficult to locate seems like a stretch...

So, if you know a library is closing, shouldn't it be everyone's goal to take books out now before it closes? Because if the library closes, you don't have to take them back, right? Christmas is just around the corner, folks...
