Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

Really, I understand the concept…

really-i-understand-the-concept

But yet again, I’ve gone to the gun show and returned empty handed. Not many H&K’s this time around it seemed. Was also reminded of how much I like the feel of the Walther P-22’s…and the Glocks. So much for “Yes, I really know what I want.”

Little bro came along as well. Best quote of the day: “Not sure about a place where you can get a gun, a ski mask and a book on ‘learn everything possible about burglar alarms’.” (What can I say, I’m used to the history books next to “how to field strip any weapon” next to “How to beat down The Man” books.) But he seemed to enjoy it.

I always have a good time, if nothing else for the off the wall stuff that you see, and some good people watching.

From a coworker…

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Some people are like Slinkies. They’re really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

In this morning:
“So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else.”
- Johann Wolfgang vonGoethe

I don’t know, it just made me snort a bit this morning. It’s a great thought, but I gotta say lately I have been anything BUT in balance with anything else. :) And if I really have been, good grief, how out of whack is everything else then?!

Turns out my switchover to Sprint got delayed, because even though I did god knows how many recorded verifications that YES, I wanted to change MY long distance provider, Verizon refused the order… So I spent my lunch getting Verizon to let me ditch AT&T.

Oh, and Happy Friday the 13th!!
