Blog that ignor-og... I'm learning that not much rhymes with blog

A couple of weird things today...

I actually saw a woman, yes an adult (as in someone who should know better) put something in the garbage outside of WalMart... or should I say that she tried to... you see when it didn't make it into the garbage can, and fell on the ground she looked at it and kept walking.  ???  wtf??  Is it really that hard?  Maybe she was a one shot kind of gal, or maybe she's just dumb.  I'm guessing more the dumb. 

You know how sometimes things catch your eye?  Like you focus on something odd and out of the blue?  Anyway, on my way into to work today, this grasshopper came into my eyeline and I followed it until it landed on my windshield, right in front of my face.  I was in a 40 zone, but I still thought this was pretty daredevilish.  I was going in and out of focus between the grasshopper and the road... a bit daredevilish on my part too, but amazed that this oddly shaped insect (with no tiny helmet) managed to keep hold even after we (me and the grasshopper) picked up speed on the T-Can.  I started rooting for this Evel Knievel of the bug world to make it all the way downtown, but when I saw the little ticket pad I feared he'd nail me for going too fast, even though I'd achieved a good balance of speed and focus on my new hero, and just then he went flying.  My focus then went to trying to make sense of the farewell he was undoubtedly shrieking, or squealing, or just tiny yelling.  "I think that lady at WalMart is dumb too."  Farewell new friend.
