So, today I'm home. A couple of things happen at my house that probably don't happen anywhere else with any regularity. First, I came home late last night and the door was unlocked. But, no biggie, because no one's gonna break in, and if anyone did try to break in, they wouldn't be smart enough to check the front door!
Second, I'm making pancakes today and the phone rings about 6 times (no lie). Three of the phone calls has to do with this lady in our church who will probably die today. (Take a moment of silence.) Anyway, this is pretty funny because it happens all the time. I think we get more phone calls about people leaving this world than some morticians do! And my dad doesn't have a cell phone, so he can't be reached. I'm pretty sure (actually positive) that this is by design so he can't be reached unless he's at the church or here at home. My daddy's smart!
Third, I was reading the newspaper from yesterday (because who knows where today's went). We have this section called "The Open Line" where people can call in and have their opinions posted. It is by far the biggest attraction for stupid people that I know of. I laugh at a lot of them, but sometimes I lose my faith in human intelligence. For example: this guy called in about how its not fair that most gas stations in the area are putting ethanol in with the gas - OMG UP TO 10%!!!!! And how since they're using corn, it's making food prices higher.
Excuse me moron, listen up. First of all, they grow special corn for ethanol, and they pay farmers to do it, and its not corn that is supposed to be eaten by the general public. Second, food prices are going up because food has to be shipped to the grocery store. Hmmm, how do they ship it? Well, they sure as hell don't have a pneumatic tube system under all the grocery stores from all the factories, farms, and OTHER COUNTRIES. I guess they must use gas and trucks and planes and oil to ship it. Maybe that's why the prices are going up! Not to mention the overpopulation and stuff going on.
Okay, enough of a rant. I'm sure I could come up with about 930820347 other unique things that happen, and maybe I will tomorrow. But for now, get back to doing important things with your time!
P.S. My brothers on this webpage in the picture!

I want to comment that yes, using ethanol is driving up food a little bit. However, this is an agricultural county and most of the food grown here stays here and the surplus gets shipped off.
ReplyDeleteThere's a cornfield less than a mile from my house - in both directions. The corn prices, in this county, along with bread, etc, have gone up only enough to portray a higher cost of gas in this county. Oh, and the economic troubles we're going through.
