There is this guy who I walk by every now and then who sits in Boston Common.
He yells out 2 pieces of relevant news and calls himself "The Town Cryer".
I walked by him last week the day after Obama had won
and
he yelled,
Hi I'm the Town Cryer! Barack Obama is now our President and it's gonna rain after five o'clock, folks!
Although he was wrong about it raining after 5 o'clock, I thought he was fabulous anyway.

When 4 foot tall birds attack...
I'm not sure if this is a 4 foot tall Kiwi bird
or
if it's a 4 foot tall humming bird:

But I have a feeling that when you saw this picture you thought,
OMG! Every morning I stroll down the street with my morning cup of coffee. What would I do if this 4 foot creature came running towards me(full throttle) in attack mode! How would I defend myself?! How would I fight back?!
Well I don't have the answer to your question
but
maybe a good idea would be to distract the bird by making small talk.
In the middle of this distraction gently knock it over(they look like they are the type to have a hard time getting back up when they fall down).
Once you do this, run for your life.

I've been doing a lot of thinking...

and
wondering why these merry go round horses look like they're going through a tough/hellish time:


It seems like they might scare kids.
I don't remember thinking merry go round horses were scary as a kid
but
maybe I blocked out the memory of that and one day I will be walking down the street and suddenly it will all come flooding back and I'll start weeping.
Then maybe someone will say to me,
What's wrong? What are you thinking about?
and
I'll simply reply,
Merry go rounds...

Are fly swatters still "in"?
I used a fly swatter to kill a bug the other day
and
as I did that I thought,
Wow, this feels so 80's!
It made me wonder if something more advanced has been invented to replace it yet
and
I'm not aware of it.
Is there a fly-laser-gun that comes with safety goggles yet?
I wouldn't be surprised if there was.
I wouldn't buy it
but
I'm just saying that if it existed I wouldn't be too impressed.
I'd stick with fly swatter.
I think it's more dignified.
