Sitting. Thinking. The whole durn mess.
I am in the US Airways lounge at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport. I shall fly home today for the weekend before taking off for Boston and Washington, DC next week. Some points I have had occasion to ponder since last I blogged.
Real Headline - STUDY:VIAGRA MAY BOOST ORGASM IN WOMEN TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS.... ok, but why exactly did we think we needed this study in the first place? And wouldn't an eye-rolling, toe curling, sweat dripping orgasm pretty much serve to un-depress most women. I take this kind of stuff as a sign that we are near the end of the world as we know it.
Until...
I read the story from Torrance, Calif. - GOOD SAMARITANS AID MAN AFTER WIND SCATTERS CASH about a 70 year old man who who stumbled coming out of the bank and watched the wind scatter several thousand dollars in cash. People stopped to help him chase it down and he recovered 96% of it. See, a few posts back I told you I have a belief that generally people will go and do the right thing. Made me feel good about California.
Until....
I accidentally ran a flashing red light in El Segundo a while back and got ticketed. It has taken about 3 weeks, but it finally posted on the website. $381 fine for a simple traffic infraction. My Gosh!! That was about the greediest and insane thing I had ever seen.
Until....
I read further. I can come to court on my appear date (not an option) or pay it over the internet. Of couse, rather than fly back to L.A. I will pay over the internet.... and incur some kind 0f $10 fee for doing this online. My gosh!!!!! I am tempted to say things can't get worse, but I'm afraid to.
There is a headline in today's paper about 3 universities facing a "budget irony". I did not realize that "irony" was an accounting term. I am curious as to what they mean, but not curious enough to read the article.
Feds urged to monitor tactics of polygamists, out

Ed, that's all so Ironic.
