August already? And other random thoughts...

I cannot believe it's already August. Summer is my favorite time of year. I absolutely adore being able to see sunlight until 9 p.m. You can leave work at 8 p.m. in the summer and it doesn't feel depressing because it's still light outside. Yet, in the winter, you can leave at 5:30 p.m. and feel miserable because it's already dark. I don't know where the summer has gone, but I’m going to miss it.

Next year at this time, George W. Bush will not be president. I think just about everyone will be thankful for that. I would respect Bush a lot more if he didn't let spending get so out of control during his presidency. In the words of the judge who sentenced Ted Bundy to death, "President Bush, you went a different way, partner." Historians cannot possibly look back on the Bush presidency in a favorable light, can they?

I have always enjoyed seeing movies and used to love watching Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert review movies on television. Over the weekend, I stumbled across a YouTube video that shows Siskel and Ebert trading jabs while filming a promo for their show. I thought it was amusing to say the least. Perhaps you will too.

Can someone explain to me why you have to break glass to access a fire extinguisher in some office buildings? Who thought of that brilliant idea? At some point in our nation’s history, did America have a problem with white collar workers horsing around with fire extinguishers at work, thereby necessitating that they be kept behind glass partitions? Moreover, if there is a fire and a person cuts his hand on broken glass while retrieving the fire extinguisher, wouldn’t that person have a great lawsuit for a severe design defect?

Hope your August is off to a great start!
