Stupid Questions People Ask:

1) Where do I get tickets to buy food (Um, look behind you, there's a sign saying "Food Vendor Tickets)

2) Do you work for ____? (I'm standing wearing a station T-shirt and a badge that says "staff" and standing in front of the station table)

3) Is 630 WMAL the same as WTOP 15oo AM?

Happy Memorial Day! Although some people think it's inappropriate to wish anyone "Happy" Memorial Day, that it should be a solemn occasion. Jeez, it's not as though I'm wishing someone Happy Pearl Harbor Day or Happy Kristallnacht.

Some people say this is the beginning of the summer vacation season, not the summer solstice. Some people say Labour Day is the end of summer, not the Autumnal Equinox.

I say stretch the season out as long as possible -- have it begin Memorial Day and End on the Autumnal Equinox

How does one hand out promotional weight-loss material without insulting people? The really fat ones who could use it have both hands occupied with food. And should one give painting/window material to homeless-looking people? And graduate school ads to the cerebrally-challenged looking?

WEEK

Weather is improving, Dow up, gas prices supposedly going down but can't see any difference. They say it's been one of the worst allergy seasons in years. At least the rapture didn't happen last week.

DAY

Plugging in the air conditioner would make it work better. The same with the computer. Plugging in the headphones would also make it easier for me to hear.

POLAR OPPOSITES? MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE?

According to the MSN portal, some of the most miserable cities in America are those which have overcome the recession best. Wish they'd make up their minds:

WEEK

Dow is down, Weather is improving but still seems unseasonably cool, a lot of rain. Gas prices still up, no let up in sight. I am trying to get as much as rest as I can, considering how much I have ahead of me. Also, the world is supposed to come to an end this weekend.

IT''S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

Some people are saying Ted Kaczynski is also responsible for the 1982 Tylenol deaths. Wow, too blasts from the past.

DAY

"The stationmaster at St. Cloud's was a lonely, unattractive man-a victim of mail-order catalogues and of an especially crackpot mail-order religion. The; latter, whose publication took an almost comic book form, was delivered monthly; the last month's issue, for example, had a cover illustration of a skeleton in soldier's clothes flying on a winged zebra over a battlefield that vaguely resembled the trenches of World War I. The other mailorder catalogues were of a more standard variety, but the stationmaster was such a victim of his superstitions that his dreams frequently confused the images of his mailorder religious material with the household gadgets, nursing bras, folding chairs, and giant zucchinis he saw advertised in the catalogues.

Thus it was not unusual for him to be awakened in a night terror by a vision of coffins levitating from a picture-perfect garden-the prize-winning vegetables taking flight with the corpses. There was one catalogue devoted entirely to fishing equipment; the stationmaster's cadavers were often seen, in waders or carrying rods and nets; and then there were the undergarment catalogues, advertising bras and girdles. The flying dead in bras and girdles especially frightened the stationmaster."

WEEK

Dow down, but still well over 23 thousand. Gas prices going up, but supposed to go down soon. Right. Weather improving but suppossed to get worse over the weekend -- at least it's light when I leave in the morning. Fighting what is either an allergy or a bug or both .
