manlycornhusk's blog post - huh, what happened...

the joke is, a man walks into a store to by a couple of pairs of boxer briefs..lol.

the joke part? actually walking back out after only purchasing what he intended. it appears that saturdays are very bad days for self-restraint. even funnier is the fact that we were supposed to do some grocery shopping afterwards but instead grabbed some sandwiches from subway and called it mission accomplished..lol. even that was almost a disaster. we were driving back out of town toward home when it struck me that i'd ordered the sandwiches, paid for the sandwiches and then promptly, drove off to the gas station. now, we're driving, trying to sort through the bags in the rear of the cab and watching the rain turn into sleet. well, long story short..i swallow my pride and go back to subway and retrieve our dinner. the look in the guys face....he could have taken out a magic marker and written senile across my forehead..sheesh.

an interesting side about the sleet storm today. this winter has been amazingly mild. even the turbulance above has been sub par for a midwest winter. scientifically speaking, sleet is hail that hasn't matured yet. when a raindrop is frozen, drops from it's weight and then is thrust up by the winds to have another layer of frozen moisture added to it, it becomes hail. this process continues until the hail is too heavy to be thrust up anymore and it rains down on you new vehicles and shingles, usually doing some pretty major damage.

well, that's what usually happens. what we had was bb sized hail that looked like the filling for a bean bag chair. it's almost mesmerizing to watch it fall and bounce and roll across the roadway. the wind swirls it back and forth, creating the coolest patterns and it's easy to smile watching big ole mean hail's little brother pretending to be a badass..lmao.

ok, i'm giving myself a headache..gonna stop before i explode.

peace and love....
