13: Park Here
1. Driving my 3 year old grandson Bryce home after a sleepover over the weekend, I left Floyd at 3:15. About 30 minutes later I was puzzled when I saw it was just 3:19 until I realized I was reading a lit-up gas price sign and not a clock.
2. He was so worn out from playing at the golf course with Opa Joe that he was eating a sandwich in his car seat with his eyes closed. Three bites later it fell from his hand and his head dropped off to the side.
3. I love the Senator Bernie Sanders quote seen on Facebook and pictured below, but I almost didn’t read it because I mistakenly thought the picture was of Dick Cheney and I’m not interested in what he has to say.
4. Cheney reminds me of Homer Simpson’s boss Mr. Burns or Scrooge.
5. Sign seen at Occupy Wall Street after the occupation was broken up by police: “If they enforced Bank Regulation Like They Do Park Rules, We wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.”
6. Letter seen on Facebook: Dear Congress, I am wondering where I can get some pizza seeds. I’d like to grow some pizza in the spring or do you start them with cuttings (slices)? Signed, Puzzled in Floyd
7. It’s pretty bad when Facebook has to remind you of your own sister’s birthday.
8. I am disappointed in Obama but not enough to not vote for him and THIS clip titled “Why I’m not disappointed in President Obama” puts my doubts in perspective.
9. It was sad that while at a NASCAR event in the name of a charity supporting veterans First Lady Michelle Obama got booed and then, adding insult to injury, Rush Limbaugh’s off the wall comments made it worse?
10. Today’s soundtrack HERE.
11. Last year I was with my family in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving, which is very rare. Listen to the Redman family Thanksgiving gratitude circle (if you can understand the Boston accents) HERE.
12. “You don’t understand. A parking garage. I can’t even pull in there. It’s like going to a prostitute. Why should I pay, when if I apply myself, maybe I could get it for free?” George Costanza
13. Now have a great Thanksgiving and don’t forgot to “Say Something Nice” HERE!!

I feel pretty much the way you do about Mr. Cheney—He scares the S**T out of me….I LOVE Bernie Sanders—-He is The Best!!!
Your description of Bryce falling asleep while eating is precious, beyond words….I could see the whole thing like a little Video in my mind….
Have a LOVELY Thanksgiving, my dear Colleen…..!
Gobble, Gobble…..!

I feel Obama is the worst president in my voting years ever, has left middle America in such a bad place.

Great soundtrack for the day. I love the Joni Mitchell version, but admit to having fallen for the Counting Crows cover too.
I’m with you on President Obama. In perspective, my concerns are more than outweighed by what he’s accomplished and what I believe he still can. Those that lay our current economic crisis at his feet weren’t paying attention during the end of the Bush years.
A wonderful day to you!
Happy T13,
