Email Tags.

I think these are often quite funny to me.
And if you are wondering what I am talking about… I’m referring to tags at the end of emails that people program to be “stamped” on each email they send.
For example…

“providing each customer with the coverage you need”

I don’t know about you… but that’s a long and impressive tag.
The more symbols and lines dangling from your name, the more important you must be…
Kinda like the breast-pocket of a Mexican dictator or a Japanese Admiral.

So… what do you think about mine… ?

Earp.

This has been a theory that my esteemed colleague and lifelong friend Tyler Thigpen and I have talked about on numerous occasions…
So dear reader… I am interested in your opinion.

Which film do you prefer?
Tombstone? (Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer)
or
Wyatt Earp? (Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid)

We have a firm belief that people prefer the film that that saw first.
For example… I saw Tombstone first… and would rather find a quarter in my truck’s console than take the time to watch Wyatt Earp again.
But I have many movie going pals who love great movies and prefer Costner over Russell.

Let us all know which one you prefer…
And which one you watched first.

Retirement.

I have a one and a half year old.
We are now having to discipline her often.
So here’s a thought…

Forget about pesky time-outs, meaningless spankings, and fascist groundings.
Let’s create a system that is beneficial to everyone involved.
How about FINES?

Standing on the table… $10
Punching another person… $35
Not obeying mom… $15
Sneaking out of the house… $75

All at 3% interest.
Net 25 years.

Lessons learned… Children mindful… Capitalism preserved… Our retirement secured.

Scotwelingrish American.

So I’ve been thinking about my heritage lately.
From what I know… I am mostly Scottish & Welsh, with some English and Irish in the mix.
I’m basically a British Isle mutt, and I’m okay with it.

And why can’t I include my roots in my Americanity.
For example… Latino Americans… African Americans… Asian Americans… why can’t I be classified as well?
So technically, I’m a Scotwelingrish American.

How about you?
What are you technically?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peaches.

We live in the mountains of Western NC.
There are many state and national forests surrounding our little town.
Lots of big wild animals live in those forests.
Those big wild animals are hungry.
We keep all of our trash outside in a plastic rubbermaid trash can.
We have a massive bear problem.

So big in fact that we were considering getting a dog to keep the bears at bay… until two days ago when God sent us our new puppy, Peaches. I was outside raking leaves when our newest addition quietly walked into our yard. At first she was squeamish… shy… but after some whistles and a package of deli meat, she warmed right up to us.
We tried to bring her into the house, but that was a mistake… NOT potty-trained and she chased Laela into the closet… we’ll work on it. Until then we keep her chained to our grill.
Not sure what breed Peaches is. (See pic below.)
Any insight will help.
