Bananas...both people and fruit!

Sarah Palin ...who is paying for her 'loose canon' road trip?? Is it the sale of her books that fuels that bus? I can't believe enough people would purchase it. Maybe the next book can be Sarah rewriting American history starting with Paul Revere's real agenda. Oh, and a family pizza lunch with Donald Trump? Maybe she will be on his next reality show...wait a minute...reality and Sarah Palin I believe may be an oxymoron in the true sense of the word.
Snookie...what an embarrassment first to NJ and now to the country. When we were in the ER on Saturday, we got chatting with the lab tech who was drawing Flo's blood for testing. When my brother mentioned that he lives at the Jersey shore, that stupid TV show came up as a topic for discussion. I have watched about 11 minutes on four occasions of channel surfing past it. It is unwatchable. And now the cast has gone on a road trip to Italy, and Snookie has crashed into a police car...I mentioned the unbelievable travesty of injustice that Snookie is paid $30,000 an episode, and the medical lab tech said,

I don't make that much money in a year. And I work."

There is something very wrong about this...

And how about the close encounters with the ordinary folks in life...

People walking behind you, and yet they are in your personal space because they need to go faster than you are. You can feel their presence getting closer and closer like the grocery cart behind you that you just know is going to 'crash' into your ankles. I have learned to take a step to the right or left and say,

" Go ahead and pass me. I am not in as much of a hurry".

It works out better for both of us.

I stopped in front of the banana display, and found it amusing that I found myself surveying the entire 162 bananas before I selected the ones I wanted. Crazy! So then, in a bit of people watching, I found the banana picking process to be very entertaining. I watched men and women, both old and young pick them up, and put them down. Tear off two, and then decide on a totally different bunch. Bruises...colors...shapes and sizes...organic.... You would think they were selecting candidates for adoption.

And now...an assignment for you. Next time at the grocery store...observe this banana pickin' behavior! It is amusing.

And there you have it.
