Got this text from a friend of mine recently. She included a picture that shows the names of people that get the most dates in NYC. Because her name is on the list of girls, she joked that she’s moving to New York. (Names on the list are… guys: Michael, Matt, Ben, Jason, and Simon. Girls: Amanda, Nicole, Jessica, Alexandra, and Katie.)
And here is the list of names…
What exactly is this road sign?
I’m sure we’ve all seen this road sign. I know it means “construction zone” so drivers should be careful. I can also see it’s a man holding “a shovel” but for the life of me I can’t make sense of the image. Does anyone actually have a shovel that looks like this one? What am I missing here?
A wikipedia page offers some suggestions. It may be a guy shoveling a pile of dirt, or lifting something out of a hole. Unless the designer comments on this post, I suppose I’ll never really know.

My dad used to drink and drive
When I was a little kid, I often saw commercials that said, “Don’t drink and drive,” and then I’d see my dad drinking while he was driving. It was usually on long trips to visit family in Florida that I remember this happening. And with 4 rowdy kids in the back with no batteries in their Gameboys, could you really blame him?
But before I get in trouble with my dad, I’ll make it crystal clear for you; he didn’t drink alcohol while he was driving. It was usually coffee or ice water. But all I remember from those TV ads is the warning, and so I thought my dad was breaking the law every time we had a family vacation.
I should’ve spoken up. You know, so I wasn’t aiding and abetting a felon! But then I’d find batteries between the crack in my seat and start playing Tetris.

Frog Time
This image appeared on the passenger side window of my car after cranking up the A/C one morning. I’m guessing it was a from a frog who settled there the night before.
