7 degrees of Steven Segal

Okay, it can't just be me. Does anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance of Joe Biden and Steven Segal? Maybe I was having a couple martinis while watching the VP debate but seriously.... Biden diffenately had some of Segal's look - perfectly. Even the hairline.....

even the squinty eyes.... just saying.

So operation "Carnies" is over - don't think I'll be able to go to the RenFest but CNN and WTOP mentioned that a woman and her boyfriend were bit by a snake after she picked it up and shook it around to scare her boyfriend. It was poisonious. Good ole Darwinism at work.

Silver Sprung so pedestrian

First, had a delightful time in New York last week. Went shopping but didn't have to sell my doggie for my shopping addiction - which is good. I'm a pro on the subway and scored fab vintage deals. Yay, Beacon's Closet in Park Slope.

Second, didn't go to the Renaissance Festival to make fun of the carnies. It was too muddy to venture out. Initially, I thought someone above didn't approve of my gratification at others expense... but really, really? Carnies. Come on. I hope to have fodder in the future to blog on. This means I must go before it ends!! CARNIES!!

Lastly, Silver Spring - the lovely hub of slick surburban living is getting all fancy with a new transit stop and a gazillion bus stops. Normally this would be a good thing, people, bad fashion to poke fun of, pick pocketing opportunities galore. But nay, not if it imposes where you have to be and not if it increases the number of vagrants meandering around where you are. I don't take kindly to people asking for money unless they are family and I don't take kindly to them either. (mostly because the phrase 'borrow' is injected when we all really know the correct phrase is 'give') Alas. I love my family but I do not like strangers and especially a whole bunch of them, taunting Darwinism and subconsciously asking me to mow them down in my vehicle.
