Finding Things at Walgreen's

 It's a breeze. They are extremely well organized.

The Mod Squad

Turned the TV on to a sports talk show named RALLY today and took this photo of the screen; my brain flashed back 50 years to The Mod Squad. It was a cop show introduced in 1968, so lots of people won't remember it. 

Back then, it was quite revolutionary to cast a white guy, black guy, and blonde girl as the hero cops. Come to think of it, it kinda still is.

E.D.

I have been diagnosed with E.D. What a bummer. 

Just returned from a 5 day trip to Nashville. I usually carry $200 cash, but when packing for the trip, I supplemented my money clip with an extra $100. Seemed reasonable to me. Got back home with $268 cash, so my cash outlay on the trip was $32. 

My son, who is younger than I am (and I mention this because it is significant), advised me years ago to reduce the amount of cash I carry. I think he generally carries about $3. Of course I didn’t listen. Why would I? He's just a kid! 

As it turns out, the world has changed, and I have not. Cash is so 20^th century. In Nashville's honky tonks, the bands' tip buckets have a QR code (you old people look that up on your Google machine) on the side. Through some kind of mystical magic, the QR code can be used to tip the band with something called Venmo. 

I could have gone to Nashville with zero cash. Which is less than $300. 

So, yeah, there you have it. I have Evolution Dysfunction (E.D.)

Cardinals have been fun to watch lately. Doing everything well. Winning.

So I’m watching the B-backs game on a Sunday afternoon, and the Cards are making it interesting. They take the lead in the top of the 7th. After the 3rd out, the broadcast doesn’t cut to commercials — Phoenix’s stadium announcer asks people to please rise and sing along as we pay tribute to our great nation with the singing of god bless america. Cue camera #3 to zoom in on the stadium organist, who proceeds to play the tune while a fraction of the crowd sings along looking bored.

The network, Bally Sports, gave up whatever revenue they could have collected. For the god thing blended in equal parts with the lukewarm ‘Merica thing.

A bank commercial would have been more enjoyable.

DON'T BUY NB!

I got this pair of shoes a few weeks ago and they have been occasionally and lightly worn. I have no idea why New Balance would claim they were "Made in USA" -- they don't look all that bad, but they are literally falling apart.

If I could find the receipt, I'd be returning them for sure.

Age of Aquarius

When the moon is in the seventh house,

And Jupiter aligns with Mars,

Then peace will guide the planets

And love will steer the stars.

 

OK, I’m game. Can’t wait. Our planet's guide sure ain't Peace.

Could you be a bit more specific about the timing? Like maybe tell me “November 23, 2068” or “Hey, you missed it, it happened 468 years ago on July 4^th?”

Come on, I really want to believe, but my faith is moving into the eighth house.
