It’s a simple thing, really.  I just don’t get people.  Three words is all I ask for.  Three simple words that can show you care, a little compassion.  I was planning on meeting my friend, Luke, for coffee mass last Sunday.  He got hung up at the  church so I went on ahead to […]

You have to wonder about this one.  Did someone buy a new futon frame and keep the old mattress?  Did they originally put a mattress out, which was subsequently taken by someone in need of a futon mattress but not a frame?  Or maybe the deemed the mattress unfit for other humans?  If that last is […]

This is the first of what will likely be many posts regarding the broken social contract of the public restroom.  Actually, this may apply to my restroom at home at times, but today I need to focus on the public space. For me, a public restroom serves one purpose.  Two if you want to use numbers. […]

Several years ago while driving down a country road in California I pulled over to take a look at some free stuff on the side of the road.  I knew it was free because there was a spray painted piece of plywood the size of a stop sign that said, “FREE”, on a post about […]

I saw a guy picking his nose in his car yesterday.  Recently, I was flipped off twice, by two different people while on my way to work.  Last week I nearly tripped over a dog’s leash while jogging around the lake because his inconsiderate owner had the dog ten feet out on a leash and […]
