When I was in college I used to pick up hitchhikers once in awhile and most of the time it was girls trying to back to Mission Beach from San Diego State. I picked up a few guys but not to often. The last hitchhiker that I picked up was in the 1970s and he stunk up my car. It seemed that he was not very good at hitchhiking so he had to walk a long way and it was a hot day. He smelled and it seemed that smell stayed in my car for a couple of weeks. That was the last time I let a hitchhiker get in my car…

I have a scar on my chin from the first stitches I got when I was in the 4th grade. I tripped over an uneven sidewalk and landed on a water fountain watching Ginny Potter instead of watching where I was going. It didn’t hurt that much but I thought that maybe the anesthetic wouldn’t work on me, that somehow I was different and unique from everyone else. Maybe God would somehow not let it work on me that somehow I was the only person in the world that it wouldn’t work on. I was wrong though it did work. I learned a lesson in the 4th grade. I’m not so unique and special from other people that I thought I was and it’s important to watch where you’re going...

I went to see a “psychic” a couple of months ago and she said that 2007 will be a good year for me. So far she has been right but I’ll have to wait to see what happens for the rest of the year. She said not to get married or change careers for awhile. The rest of what she said I forgot. She talked really fast with a really thick Greek accent. Basically I paid $50 to find out that it should be a good year. My friend said that he could have told me that for $10…

Taking risks---I have never gone bungee jumping or jumped out of a plane with a parachute on, or driven a race car at 170 mph but I have taken some risks in my life. I just this afternoon got in the 12 item or less line at the grocery store with 13 items. I got a kind of fish eyed look from the clerk but she didn’t say anything. I had a two week period in January when I brushed with Crest without tartar control and I sometimes I drive 65 mph in the fast lane. That is the maximum posted speed on most freeways in California but most people take it as a suggestion…
