One of our grand kids, Aurianna, came over, she painted grandma’s toenails then came upstairs to write some “sentences on grandpa’s computer.”

Standing watching as she typed away I squirted some hand sanitizer onto my hands.

“What’s that grandpa?”

I wasn’t sure she would know the word sanitizer so I said, “Hand cleaner.”

“Grandpa, it’s hand sanitizer!”

That was me told, they grow up quick.

On the bus going into town a car went past with an unusual paint job, by unusual I mean hand painted monstrosity! The person obviously decided to use a four inch paint brush and some surplus paint he had laying around. The base color was turquoise with white and grayish wavy stripes painted all over the car. Nice!

Then I saw a hybrid car that had a rear license plate frame that had a red LED animated sign on it. Like stores have in their windows with messages scrolling along it, but small on the bottom of the frame.

Not sure what it said as it whizzed past, maybe something like “If you can read this you are too close.”

But I thought it could be distracting, someone could see it and speed up and get closer in an effort to read the message. I know I wanted to urge the bus driver to speed up so I could read it, “Dude hurry up I have to get the details for a blog post.”

Coming home on the bus I noticed a car that had a crap load of bumper stickers all over the back. I wrote down a few, but there were quite a few of them.

“More trees less Bush.”

“What would Scooby do?”

“People are more violently opposed to fur than leather, because it is easier to harass rich women than biker gangs.”

I thought they were funny.

Okay, whose idea was it to add me to the list to get medicare insurance junk mail, I’m nopt quite there yet people!

Saw this guy Andrea Vadrucci from Italy on You Tube and added him to MySpace, his drumming videos are great. I once had aspirations [sic] to be a drummer when I was younger, when friends and I wanted to start a band in High School. But getting my arms and legs coordinated like this guy seemed beyond me.

I turned my speakers up opened the window and made sure the sub woofer under my desk was on full, the floor and walls were thumping!

Carolyn and I have have been speaking about moving, just around the corner to a place all on one level instead of two like we have now. We have already started sorting through stuff to get rid of unnecessary items. We always seem to have boxes of stuff that follows us around and never gets opened!

We have boxes and boxes of photos as well as pictures the grand kids have drawn for us. I told Carolyn we need to look into some custom picture framing so we can get some of the photos and pictures framed and on display. I also have some Houdini posters I’d like to get framed.

Carolyn said when we move she wants a new desk, one similar to mine so we can have a more organized office for our computers and other electronics.

But we are excited ab out a possible move and having everything exactly how we like and all coordinated instead mismatched like we have been for a long while.

BBC News Friday: Man regrows finger tip.

A guy in Ohio lost part of his finger in a model aeroplane accident! His brother who works in regenerative medicine supplied some material called extracellular matrix which was sprinkled on the finger. Apparently the finger has grown back.

Scientists are skeptical and figure the injury wasn’t as bad as made out and the natural healing properties of the finger caused the skin to heal over.

Interesting reading indeed. BBC News fingertip article link.

Carolyn and I were at the store stocking up on stuff for our lunches during the week and other essentials. As I was sauntering down the aisles looking at stuff, a women came hurtling down the aisle pushing a shopping cart. She was picking up quite a speed and seemed oblivious to anyone around her.

People were diving out the way left and right as she aimed her cart at them. She screeches to a stop reverses without looking swinging the cart around and tears off in a different direction.

I was thinking I certainly don’t want to be in the parking lot when she drives out if that is how she drives! Bet she has seen a lot of accidents in her rear view mirror.

I caught up with Carolyn and she was in the pet section looking at cat supplies, “We’re getting a cat?”

“No fool I’m getting Max some new toys.”

“But that rabbit is just as happy chewing a toilet roll tube up.”

“He is getting some new chew toys.”

I was downloading photos from the camera memory card to our PC’s, came across one Carolyn took of our grandson Alec and I. I am in my Indiana Jones hat and Alec is wearing his Spider-Man costume. Looking at the picture I called Carolyn over,

“Hey, why is Alec flashing bloody gang signs?”

“What? What gang signs?”

“There, he is flashing frickin gang signs. Who is the dumb ass who taught our grandson bloody gang signs? I think I need to go postal on someone’s arse.”

“They are not gang signs calm the heck down or I’ll smack you up the side of the nut.”

“Then why is he holding his hands like that then?”

“Look how he is dressed, what is he?”

“Er, Spider-Man.”

“Yeah, well how does Spider-Man hold his hands when he is releasing his spider web stuff?”

“Er, oh yeah, ‘Spidey hands.”

Carolyn walks off shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
