9191 - tuesday

[scottobear]

Watched the last two episodes of Alien in America while BHK snoozed on my arm last night - pretty good.

BHK got some nerds jelly beans (sold as "giant chewy nerds") when we went to Aardvark last weekend.




The Orange were my Fave, Green were hers. (as is our usual) The crunch really added something - I liked them a lot more than standard jellybean fare, even though I like jelly belly soda-pop flavors quite a bit, too.

On the C7 bus this morning, we passed another bus (R3) with the front banner flashing "call 911 - emergency, call police" on the front. I alerted my driver, and she said that it's a common accident - the other guy likely pressed the alarm button by accident and doesn't know better. I suggested that she call the station just to be sure, and she stated that it wouldn't be needed... someone else is bound to do it.

That puzzled me... what if the guy were in actual trouble? I got off the bus and contacted to police to let them know... they haven't called me back. I wonder if they're even following up on it?

I figure it's better be safe than sorry... If I see a sign that says "HELP!!", I'm going to act on it - especially if it's as simple as dialing 3 numbers on my phone.

Fancast - free streaming TV, full episodes (or just a clip )

BHK came up to the office and joined me for a secret lunchtime nosh in the parking lot... nom nom nom. I love seeing her, and a visit in the middle of the day was wonderful.

Pesky that I'm a little behind on my "book bingo" - I keep reading authors whose name end in B, W, or S! Bradbury, Wilder and Stewart aren't helping!

50 things I've done (or, the meme that would not die... ) meme continues with item 31. I...

31.'have been hit in the face with a pool cue... got me in the jaw. It was pretty unexpected - I wasn't doing much of anything, except putting my face where a guy was swinging on someone else. This was when I was 24.

32.'shot 3 day old dunkin' donut munchkins from a wrist rocket slingshot at people, and connected at 20 yards. It stings! That's a powdered sugar version of paintball. Plus, if you're hungry, you can eat your ammo. (Preferably soaked in milk first to soften them up.) This was when I was 15.

I saw the emergency sign on the bus today, too. I called the police and they didn't know what I was talking about. I wondered how easy it would be to do that by accident. I called Cap Metro and they just said they would look into it. Sheesh. Bus drivers crying wolf?

I have no idea... I suspect that the button is too easily hit, and hard to reset.
