You, Sir, are NOT right!
I think he means , Brian, which of course, you are.
Today started out a little strange. Working on a job in Franklin, VA and staying at the Hilton Garden in Suffolk. Got up this morning early, felt good and decided to stop and eat breakfast at the Ihop there. Get in try to pour syrup on the pancakes and it doesn't come out of the thingy.. Unscrew the top and it comes out...more than expected. Nice puddle on the table as it overflows the plate. Oh my. Get the bill and get ready to walk out and there's a bedbug on my coat sleeve... and . Promptly kill the blood sucker and then start wondering where the hell did I pick that up. I'm thinking not at the Hilton Garden with all the white sheets and stuff. I'm thinking it must have been at the Ihop from the seat I was sitting in as it was outside the coat I was wearing. Geez... I then start itching everywhere just thinking about it.
Talk to the guy I'm working with and he said his wife was attacked by the blighters in a hotel up in Woodbridge. The ones that advertize they use ultraviolet to sanitize the rooms. I said your wife must be proud to have started them to do that.
Anyway, on the way home I see a red C14 traveling down 35 heading to south to Courtland.....sigh.
Get home and the grandson says the Internet isn't working.....crap. Just noticed that the side of the road in front of the house has been tore up for a new cable going to my cable box. Call the cable company and say no internet, not happy. They'll send someone out but if it's my fault I'll have to pay. I bite my lip and say.....really? Coincidentally there's cable work outside and my internet isn't working...right, it's my fault.
Get all my clothes off (don't even picture it as it will haunt you forever) in a garbage bag to be washed in high pressure steam. Leave the coat in the garage along with the travel bag and shoes...decontamination on Sunday. Tech comes out and by golly gee, there's a break in the wire where the cable contractor cut my cable. Tech fixes it and is going to request a complete rewire to the house as he thinks there are too many splices..
I try this new beer and it sucks... Devil's backbone IPA.....ugh. Their Vienna Lager on the other hand Life is good.
Did you know that Monet developed cataracts late in life that left him struggling to paint? At age 82 he agreed to have his left eye lens removed and while that did improve his color sense, it enhanced it so that he could see the ultraviolet spectrum. This 'colored' his paintings from then on... Monet is one of my favorite artists.

Have you ever noticed, in movies and on TV, that whenever there's loud speakers in the scene/shot that the speaker grills have been removed?
I've often wondered why that is. The only answer that I can come up with is that movie makers must think that us viewers are too dumb to figure out what those boxes, with speaker wire attached, actually are all on our own. They remove the grills so that there is no question. One less thing to think about I guess?
Yeah, it seems the "artsy" folks always use the same props for "dramatic effect" (in their artsy mindset) that just seem to irk the rest of us (me anyway).
City streets at night are always wet, even if in a desert bound city. Warehouse/factory scenes always have a large fan with an unseen light source behind it spinning at a ridiculously slow speed, florescent bulbs always flicker if it's supposed to be a creepy scene, large industrial abandoned factories always have a loose chain on the gate allowing easy access and all the electric power is still on and available. Any pipe that is hit by a bullet instantly shoots out high pressure steam, unless it's in a submarine in which case there is always a valve available 2 feet away that conveniently shuts it off. At least 50% of all female detectives/Federal agents wear high heels to work. Tires always squeal even if on a dirt road...the list goes on and on. One thing that seems to have finally died out (it was very popular in the 50s and 60s) sick people no longer require a folded wet towel on their foreheads to let us know they are sick and being cared for by a caring person. Hollywood seems to think we are all idiots. Then again, after watching people drive, maybe they are right for the most part.
What are you saying Marty, .......Are all of my views of the world wrong?
