This afternoon I stopped off at the dry cleaners to pick up some clothes. In the store there were signs about how you could guess the score of the next Colts game and win a discount coupon. The guy in front of me was filling out his guess. He noticed that the fish bowl for the entries was just about empty he mentioned that to the clerk. The clerk said: “We don’t get many entries, most of our customers are women and they don’t enter.” The guy responded: “Well, if a woman guessed the score right…that would be pure dumb luck.” I thought, what a jerk. He took his dry cleaning and left. I got my clothes and as I walked out of the store I saw him pulling out of his parking space. I noticed that he had dropped one of his hangers with clothes. I could have run after his car, got his attention and told him about the dropped clothes. But I thought about what he said…and let him drive away.

Always appreciate finding a town with an unusual name. I used to live in Kalamazoo, MI. Next town over from Carmel is Fishers, IN. Fishers original name was Mudsocks, IN.

Today I’m in southern Indiana at a volleyball tourney with Brad. Sponsorship sign for a Chiropractor in nearby Floyds Knobs, IN. Make up your own joke.   

Great article from CNN on all the unusual stuff that TSA screeners confiscate from travelers.  It’s much more than just knives.  Love this excerpt.

Even items that seem obvious to avoid are brought into security checkpoints. A few years ago, Allen said, a traveler tried to bring two gallons of gasoline because he was concerned his car would run out of gas en route from his home airport. Six months ago, a kitchen sink was found in one man’s bag in a Washington airport.
