Outhouse - 4/29/2012

Did you ever wonder why someone says a copany develops something "in house?" is that opposed to "out house?"

Today, after laughing to myself earlier in the day about this funny little phrase, a co-worker verbalized this to me. I never thought of this silly statement until today. Now the day I do, another person comes up with it within only a few hours!?

Psychic anyone?

Triple Psychic? - 4/20/2012

I went with a friend to see a movie today. Wen I was pulling into the parking structure, I saw a car coming down e street toward me. For some strange reason I though this must be my friend, although I have never seen his car. When I was waiting for my parking ticket, the same car pulls in behind me. IT WAS HIM and I knew it be fore I even saw him!

Before the movie we ate lunch. During jthe conversation he told me that he and his wife were expecting. On the drive to the theater, I told myself "he and his wife have been married about a year, I bet they are going to have a baby soon!"

After the movie, which was fun BTW, I gave the attendant my endorsed parking ticket. He took it and replied "six dollars please."

I dug through my wallet and handed it to him but paused as he grabbed the money. "Did I not have the ticket endorsed?"

I asked. "yes...sorry there is no charge. Have a nice day!" the attendant said after flipping over the ticket.

 I placed the six dollars into my shirt pocket and drove to run an errand of shredding some personal documents at a local charity. After using my coupon to pay for the four bags of documents, the receptionist said "That will be six dollars sir"

Guess what the universe has stuck into my shirt pocket...exact change! Quite an interesting day!

Pennies from heaven (or more like dollars) - 4/13/2012

The universe has been sending me a lot of money lately.  Within one week I won $40 in the lottery, got three healthcare mistakes resulting in $60 refund and was notified by the state that I had almost $700 in unclaimed promptly (cash) waiting for me!  I can't wait to see what is next ;)

Colors and museum - 4/6/2012

Today while touring the Atomic museum in Albuquerque, I found the most intriguing device on display:


This is a Specro-Chrome Device invented by Dinshah Ghadiali in the early 20th century.  Supposedly used to treat varied physical maladies using simply projected light through different colored filters.

This is very interesting because Leo and I have researched color and music (see the post 4/11/2008 - Another Lunch with Leo) and felt that this device would be quite interesting to do some experiments with!

HHHHMMM...???
