Really, Really Hot

It is really, really hot today.  By that I mean you go from comfortable to completely drenched in sweat after about five minutes doing anything outside.  I can’t imagine how miserable it is for our dogs, but at least they (and I) have the pool to float around in to help cool them (us) down.

Moving on . . .

Random thought #1 – I recently overheard someone explaining how to (properly) cook a pancake to someone else (at a table nearby).  I remember that mostly because I was shocked that the information was not common knowledge.  I don’t claim that my pancakes turn out perfectly, but it is really not a difficult process.

Random thought #2 – There is something that I continuously notice that we have all definitely seen and most of us have been a part of.  It amazes me the amount of people that will wait in a line at a grocery store for a free sample of (let’s say) two slices of dried banana.  Some people don’t know what they are even waiting in line for.  I hate to wait in line for anything, so I am forced to go elsewhere for my dried fruit needs.

Random thought #3 – Can someone claim to be “down to earth” when their writing uses obscure references that come across as pretentious and snooty to the majority of people (including myself)?  I would lean toward no.  I have no issue with those people, but just don’t claim to be something that you are clearly not.

Random thought #4 – When is a homerun actually an out?  Apparently after a team hits 10 homeruns in slow-pitch softball, every one thereafter is counted as an out.  What kind of rule punishes you for performing well?! Damn you ESPN for filling my brain with such information!

Random thought #5 – So I am preparing to eat my pancakes and the waitress points out the syrup options by saying (something like) “This one is molasses, that one is honey, and the one over there is maple flavored.”  My brain immediately responds (internally) “maple flavored” what?  Is it maple syrup or not?  Not liking that description I stuck with the honey for my entire meal, which turned out to be quite nice.
