Are Your Eyes Watering or Is It Just Me?

I'm still amazed that people can't spell my name.

I was downtown running some errands one day and decided to get a bite to eat. I placed my order and gave my name to the cashier.

I sat and waited. Looked around at the other customers. Watched some television.

And heard my name butchered over the intercom.

“Sure-la? Cher? Shauna?”

I turned and clarified, “Charlotte?”

“Oh, yeah. That’s what this says.”

I got my food and looked at the receipt.


Shalot?

As in the onion?

Hi. My name is Shalot. Don't come too close. I'll make you cry.

Election Payne

I was driving through a neighborhood and stumbled upon a house with not only an Obama sign but also a McCain banner as well.  I'm happy that they each are voting for who they think will do best, but I think this couple is about to begin a 4 year-long "I told you so..." debate.  

They each are taking a stance, and that's what's important.  In the words of T.I., it's America - you can vote however you like.
