It was a warm sunny day in Southern California and I was suddenly overcome with the urge to get the hot dog from Costco. My mind and heart were together along with my stomach in this craving. Since I am retired with nothing really pressing and having taken manly miniature poodle, Kip, for his walk I jumped in my car and headed for Costco. I parked some distance away and as I drew near the food venue I saw that here was no line, What luck, I thought. Then as I drew even close I saw a dreaded note, “closed for construction.” Now this is really a minor problem compared to nearly any other like the strife in Syria, Pakistan, Nigeria, and the length of the school year in LAUSD. So How to get over this. I just read the Big 5 ads. You can get watches, shoes,  guns, an inversion system, a 150 lb. crossbow and best of all a 5 power night vision monocular. Now if only they had a $1.50 hot dog with drink included.

You can see that possibly I have too much time on my hands and perhaps volunteer to help little kids or clear land mines . There are some many sites on the internet to learn useless random facts or maybe some of the great truths of life. Any I read again that coffee was great for the body and soul and that if your father was older when you were born and his father was older when he was born you may live longer because with age the tolemeres and the end of the chromosome get longer. If you want to know why ask Mr. Laderman.

Also read that big box stores such as Best Buy were having perhaps fatal problems. They cannot compete with the online retailers such as Amazon. Of course many more jobs will be lost. One day almost everything will be digital. One teacher for a million students, on line families and maybe just digital people. But could there ever be an on line $1.50 Costco hotdog? I think not. Now for my predictions.  The Supreme Court will announce some decisions on a Monday. Oklahoma City will win if the MIami Heat do not. A lot of money will be spent on attack ads but none of them will be aimed art you or I. Either President Obama or Governor Romney will win the presidency and someone claim that I wasn’t born on this planet
