What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
I’m not a person who’s much into routine but for most days I got up and write for an hour or two do a little bit of German and eventually head out for a run.
I’ve cut back on the coffee and drink mushroom coffee. And I’m sitting on the bed snuggled up with the dog.
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
Unique Splits, Databases, and Punk Bands
Unique Splits
Reading, PA-based company with roots dating back to the late 1800s, makes unique pretzels known for their “split-open” technique and hollow shell products. Their signature products, including Splits, Shells, and Extra Dark pretzels, are slow-baked to achieve a distinct crunch and flavor, setting them apart from mass-produced brands.
I never really liked them.
Social Security Number
Many people think their Social Security number makes them unique. For the most part you’re correct. I used to be a database programmer so I have a little knowledge on this. Social Security numbers are not unique. There is an entire large pool of numbers that are recycled.
Truly Unique-Skiantos
The Italian punk band most famous for “serving” spaghetti is
Skiantos. In a legendary 1979 performance at the Bologna Rock Festival, the band chose to cook and eat spaghetti on stage rather than play a single note of music.
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
Naming something after yourself is a sign of somebody who wants to control and has a large ego.
Could you imagine if somebody wanted to put their name on the dollar bill?
World, you know what to do?
And I’ve done the research for you.
It is generally not illegal to write or draw on U.S. paper currency, provided it is not done with fraudulent intent or to make the bill “unfit for reissue”. Under 18 U.S.C. § 333, it is only illegal to deface currency if the intent is to render it unusable, such as destroying it or masking essential details like serial numbers.
This is going to be an exercise in creative graffiti or the proper use of a credit card.
I will write the word IMPEACH before his name as I buy 1/10 of a tank of gas.
What makes you laugh?
Another Love Story
Being a little kid in retrospect is humorous and confusing. My grandmother whom we all adored suddenly one day had a boyfriend. Who knows what he really was. We never knew our grandfather as he passed away when we were too young to have memories that transended into the future. A male in our grandmother’s house was something we noticed quickly. Even as kids we were not the gossipy type.
This is interesting how we piece together our memories and what happens, especially when transferred from a less than developed brain to hopefully a fully developed brain. I remember this new man looking remarkably similar to Mel Blanc. It is interesting to know that I had no idea who Mel Blanc was when this man entered our life. All I knew at that time was Bugs Bunny.
And he drove a Corvair. I am not a car person, and I never have been a car person. I have no idea why I knew that he drove a Corvair. The chief suspect is my dad. As kids we were told not to ask questions. Somewhere along the line, I asked my dad about this guy who appeared at our grandmother ‘s home. My dad was a car salesman and talked about his mother ‘s boyfriend ‘s car in his usual hyperbolic way. My dad distorted the truth and, in my youth, I listened to it as the gospel according to Dad until it no longer made sense
But there was no debating that my grandmother dated a guy named Doc who drove up to her house in a little white Corvair. These are memories of our grandmother when we thought of her as old. It is an age-old belief about grandparents.
And today while out running I passed a Corvair parked on the street. I had to laugh.
