Some things that have been on my mind lately, most of which I don't understand and most of which are trivial:
1. Why and how RadioShack is still in business. I'm not seeing the demand for a store that solely sells electronics and a Mickey Mouse phone here and there. Oh, and it has always been my experience, no matter what store or in what state, that the employees are annoyingly sarcastic...as opposed to funny sarcastic. They truly are the poster child for "Sarcasm is just one more free service we offer".
2. How athletes can complete a triatholon (particularly in the Olympic trials) without dying. Swimming to biking to running without stopping, ever?? Madness.
3. Joan Rivers' face.
4. Why Red Robin advertises in Florida when they have no locations here...same goes for Jack in the Box or as LB calls it, Death in the Box.
5. Why there are an abundance of nail places, sometimes more than one per plaza.
6. The fact that esurance.com advertises that because they are an online business entity, they are environmental...because they don't use paper.
7. Tyra Banks' show = a TV version of a tabloid.
That's all...fow now. Feel free to add.

They're giving away their sarcasm for free??? That will totally depress the sarcasm market.
I'll have to rewrite my business plan.
Things on my mind...
That no one person or family is without problems, challenges or struggles, no matter how it looks on the outside.
That my daughter is a far greater person than she even considers.
That my son is funny in a way that is not my own.
I wish my wife would find true contentment within herself.
That I'm very blessed.
There are A LOT of companies who promote their "greenness" because they provide online services! Some people feel that's all they can do (or want to do) is to not print unnecessarily. This will not cure big environmental problems but it is a start.
Others:
Tanning salons and dry cleaners are right up there with the nail salons. Always there for you, in every strip mall. And don't get me started on strip malls!
Why is the commercial for the Alachua County Fair so painful? Year after year? The song triggers a mind meld.
Why do people buy gifts that they want for themselves, for other people?
How come the same people can work at a Chinese restaurant for 10 years, and after all that time, they still cannot understand English speaking take-out orders over the phone?
Why do consumers insist on making disasters of Macys, TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores to the point where you enter the store, look around, and then just decide it would be less work to turn around and leave?
I digress...
