Random Thoughts While Stuck in Traffic
by Steve West on October 30, 2021
There's a serious traffic jam on the 495 Washington beltway that I happen to be stuck in. It's worse than stop & go, stop & go - it's more like stooooooop & go, stoooooooooooop & go. Trying to stay awake, my mind is wandering, giving me images and sounds.
*If I were to open a furniture store, I would call it the Sit Shack. Or maybe a DIY surgery shop called Suture Self.
*Brenda's music teacher friend told her she's fond of tongue twisters which she uses as lip looseners for her trumpet players. It seems to me the opposite would happen. Lip lock. But I offered her 'How many Lowe's could Rob Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's.' She was only mildly amused.
*Try not to be selfish this Hallowen. Vampires suck your blood for the vitamin C it contains because they can't go out in the sun. Did you ever think about that? No. Because all you think about is yourself. - That'll probably find its way to Facebook.
Oooooo... traffic is moving 10 mph, now! Gotta go.

We've probably all seen examples of stupid warning labels but there's a few here I had never seen before. Also, the menu on the right side of this page has some interesting features. And remember, don't eat the iPod shuffle! Go »The Texas Chili Cook-Off
Recently, at a Bowie Baysox baseball game, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a Texas chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last minute, and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table, asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans, probably) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy; and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge #3.

Bowie is just a hole-in-the-wall kinda town but it's full of proud residents. I like it a lot. But man, we've got quite a few odd businesses. Go »Greasy Pole (Not Ron Jeremy)
Apparently, there is an annual contest in which men in drag attempt to walk the length of a greasy pole suspended over a body of water. It appears to be about 40 feet in length and about 20 feet over the water. The object being to reach the flag at the end of the pole. Go »Things Remembered
When I was in kindergarten, a girl brought a doll to class. It was so pretty that even the boys liked it. Everyone played with it but I was the one who broke it. Go »

Kelly collects puns for her future businesses. She wants to open a rug shop called La Brea Carpets, a storage facility called The Best Little Warehouse in Texas, and a transportation service called No Prob Limo.
