10/30/2010 Ponderings:
1. You know you are in a fun city when your playing a game Seattle or Halloween and your usually not sure of your answer.
2. Type of Candy you give out reveals your Halloween personality- Ask somebody kind of candy they are giving out for trick or treat and you will learn a lot about them.
Here are the categories and insights:
A. "Huh Halloween? O crap." - Never remembers any holiday and will most likely be handing out pencils or apples when kids ring doorbell.
B. "I will not be home." - Doesn't enjoy interacting with kids and will rather spend time hiding at gym than buying and handing out candy. If someone can guilt this person into giving candy then there will be a box of candy outside the house and the person will keep the lights off.
C. ' I need to go on a Grocery Store Trip" - This person wants to celebrate Halloween and will make sure to grab some candy from the grocery store but will most likely have a non-creative Costume Store costume.
D. " I am handing out the rejects from my trick or treating last year" - This is someone who understands the joys of trick or treating being able to get free candy and then being able to hand out the stuff you don't like next year.
E."Bought several bags full of candy" - These people have carved pumpkins outside, tons of Halloween decorations and are known as the hot spots for trick or treating.
3. Trick or treating is really fun. Why do people stop trick or treating when they get older? Everybody should continue trick or treating.
4. On Halloween look around at other people's costumes and find one you like or use them to think of an idea of your own. Then the day after haloween buy your next year's costume and candy. You may not want to trick or treat at my house.
5. What is proper etiquette for repeating costumes? If you decide to go big and be Gene Simmons for example from Kiss that requires a lot of work and probably money. Next year are you allowed to bring this back? What should be the rules? My opinion is you are allowed to repeat if new crowd, if you become known for that costume, if you build something more onto the costume, or if it has been 3 years.

Ponderings 10/16/19
1. What is Techron - I was at a Chevron Gas station yesterday and in each category of gas it had the
"With Techron" sign. WTH is techcron? And if it was something cool why do they not sell a gas category without it and a gas category with it.
2A. Fast Food - Why no tip field on Receipt - Whenever you go to coffee shops or food places like Qdoba, if you pay with credit card then you have to sign a receipt where the owners have conveniently placed a tip field. Why doesn't Taco Bell and other fast food places add this to there receipts to get more Tips. There are enough people who tip anytime they see the field. BTW no one should ever tip at a food/coffee place without a waiter.
3. Costco Samples - Costco should advertise what they will be sampling each day. People would change their schedules to get a sample of something good. Like imagine waking up on Saturday and you see that Costco is sampling chocolate almonds, guacamole and chips, and cheese. Everybody would go to costco that day.
4. Bikers vs. Cars - I don't think anyone actually understands bike vs. car laws on streets. What would happen if I made a car that was operated by peddling? Am I treated as a car or bike? Am I allowed to go on the sidewalk or not? Am I allowed to go on the highway?
5. Football could make pre-season more exciting by adding new rules for each week. Check out this pre-season schedule:
Week 1: 6 downs to get 20 yards.
Week 2: No Punting allowed
Week 3: No Huddle entire game.
6. Why did the school bus concept never grow to Work bus concept? I know some companies offer buses but I wonder why more don't. All popular neighborhoods should have work buses that help people get to work. BTW I just learned the plural form of bus is buses. I always thought it was busses.

Ponderings 10/9/10
Ponderings for the week of 10/9:
1.Being punctual is not efficient. - Every time I show up on time to a meeting it takes at least 5-10 minutes before all the necessary people come and the meeting can start. I think companies should implement passing periods like high school.
2. Keyboard Design - The proper way of typing tells you start with your fingers on asdf and jkl; why the hell was it designed so that the ; gets a starting position? I still don't fully know the proper use of the ; (semicolon) character.
3. Rush Hour - We call it rush hour but it is the time with the most traffic when you go the slowest the name should be slow hour.
4. I still don't know how we are supposed to say this year. Like do we refer to it as o-ten, ten, twenty-ten. Someone please make a stance and popularize it.
5. Airplane Water - Every time I order airplane water I get screwed. If you order water with no specifics you get water with 3/4 ice, 1/4 water. If you say no ice they give you warm water. Second, how come if people are getting a can of soda you still only get a glass of water. As a result of this every time I am on a plane I order 2-3 drinks at a time.
6. Gym etiquette - What is the proper gym etiquette for looking in the mirror in between sets at the gym. You finish a set and you look in the mirror and you see all these people staring at you via the mirror.
6A. Are you supposed to acknowledge them in the mirror, or turn around and acknowledge them in person?
6B. Next what is proper etiquette for staring. Usually people say you should not stare at people in person but are you allowed to if it is through a mirror?

Ponderings 10/1/2010
My "Ponderings for the week" 10/1/2010
1. Why do toilet seat covers have the sliver in the middle that you need to remove before you can use the toilet seat cover?
1A. Why do we use toilet seat covers at all? If the seat was wet the thin cover will not do anything and there is no proof that they help avoid bacteria.
2. Why would anyone who could be a firefighter become a cop? No one likes cops and everybody loves firefighters. Or to be more fair Everybody loves firefighters but people are mixed about cops.
3. Why the hell does February have 28 days? We have 7 months with 31 days, 4 with 30 and 1 with 28. It could have been 7 months with 30 and 5 months with 31. With leap year making 6 months of 30 and 6 months of 31.
4. Why don't busses have seat belts? Is it just so the people standing feel as safe as the people sitting down.
5. Does baseball realize by the time Late July, August, September come around, the time when most people are free, most teams are already out of playoff contention because only 4 teams can make the playoffs per League?
6. Don't people get pissed off when using an automatic sink and the temperature is too hot and you have no idea what to do?
