Because my brain is nothing if not…random.

  1. How far does the electrocuted squirrel fall from the power line? (The boys couldn’t find it.)
  2. Can anyone see themselves standing in their yard in the Google Earth picture of their house?  I can see our trampoline, the pond and the go-cart track in the kudzu…what if one of us had been standing there at the time?
  3. Why do people fly in surgical scrubs?  Are they really medical professionals who didn’t have time to change?  They didn’t…operate in those clothes, did they? And they’re not going to operate in those scrubs when they get where they’re going…so why not wear real clothes?
  4. Can I look like Helen Mirren when I’m 63?  Please?
  5. I haven’t finished a book in over 3 weeks. (I think this is a record) And haven’t really started any new ones.  Haven’t been in the library in almost 2 months (I think my overdue fees are more than $30)   I’ve been watching tv shows on my ipod…is this how Americans watch so much television?  They don’t ever read?  It’s so much easier to watch than read - it’s kind of frightening.
  6. How does anyone ever clear their mind to meditate?  Once you get it all empty…don’t more thoughts just wander in?  How do you make them stop?  Is there like a gate or something?  A door?
  7. Could the financial crisis have been engineered or timed for political gain?
