I was listening to someone put down sugar. They said, it was bad. They said, it was all right when it came from something natural like fruit. I thought, sugar is natural. It's not made in a lab. It grows out of the ground, like fruit. It's not Frankenstein's monster. So put down your pitchforks and torches and have a sweet day.

HAVE A NAME.
IT'S NOT THAT HER
PARENTS DIDN'T WANT
TO GIVE HER A NAME. THEY
JUST COULDN'T MAKE A
DECISION. FROM HER
CONCEPTION THEY CONSIDERED
WHAT THEY SHOULD CALL THIER
CHILD. SHOULD THEY GO TRADITIONAL?
SHOULD THEY USE A FAMILY NAME? OR
SHOULD THEY GO FREE STYLE? MARY OR
JOHN? UNCLE BUD OR AUNT JANE? RYSE OR
NYCE? THEY ASKED FOR ADVISE AND PULLED
NAMES FROM A HAT. NOTHING SATISFIED. AFTER

AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY. SHE TOOK A JOB AT
THE LOCAL FAST FOOD PLACE AND WITH EVERY
CUSTOMER SHE HAD THE SAME PLEA, "CAN
I HAVE YOUR NAME?"

Drive Careful
Here's a story. People were tired of cars speeding through their neighborhood. They put up signs that said, "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here." Nothing changed. Then someone put up a sign that said, "Drive Like Your Pet Lives here." Worked like a charm.

Beautiful Picture

bare trees, brightness, dark day, heart, open, painted, sunlight, tall
It had been a dark day, but sometime in the late afternoon the clouds parted and a little brightness came through. I looked up at these bare, tall trees and felt a sense of delight. The trees looked as if they had been painted with sunlight. You can find a little joy in the small things, but your heart has to be open to it.

Selfish
I saw a small group of pigeons eating popcorn someone had dumped on the sidewalk. There was one pigeon that didn't want to share. It was his popcorn. No one else could have any. He would
peck at a pigeon and make him stopped eating. Behind His back, the other pigeons ate away.
He would turn and stopped them. Every time his back was turned, the other pigeons ate. He was so busy trying to keep his pals from sharing his popcorn, he never got a bite. All the others were content. He never was and he went hungry. In the long run, selfishness just doesn't pay.

I Want Justice!
It's an outrage! What injustice! When I figured it out I wanted to stand on my soapbox and shout at the world. Every year we have one spring, one summer and one fall. Every year we have two, count them, two winters! I think it is time we rise up and demand the new year be moved to March. That is where it belongs. That is when spring begins. It's only fair.

Consumer Electronics Show, cool, drawback, folds, invention, inventions, laundry, robot
One thing I love to hear about is new and cool inventions. The place where you can find these is at the Consumer Electronics Show. One invention I just learned about is a robot that folds laundry for you. How neat is that!? Now you can wash and dry your clothes and let the robot do the rest. Cool! There is one drawback. You have to feed the robot each item one at a time. You have to stand there and help the robot. Yeah, that needs work.
