I've come up with an idea .............

I do a lot of people watching, and I was doing that today at Walmart, which is a great place to people watch. I have started  walking up to people who just put items they don't want anyplace handy, and I ask them, "Did you mean to just leave that there?"

Generally they just look at me and walk away, leaving the item they decided they didn't want. What is it about Walmart that people think they can do that. I shop other stores and don't see that happening as much as at Walmart.

Maybe it is just so big they don't want to back-track. From the back of the store to the front door, today, I counted 33 out of place items. Some in freezers, some on shelves, just anyplace to get rid of it. I wonder what their kids think when they tell them to just put it down and leave it. At home Mom wants them to pick up their stuff and "put it back." But at Walmart it is OK, why is that?

I came up with another revelation today. I think I have found out why so many people are getting Cancer.

I was people watching today, and all of a sudden it came to me. What did people start doing 20 or 30 years ago ..... flip flops and tennis shoes. Plastic flip flops and shoes with a lot of plastic and glue and stuff. People live in them. And in the Winter, those who wear flip flops start wearing tennis shoes in the winter, or plastic boots. Even a lot of shoes people wear are plastic rather than leather. Plastic and glue.

Today, 18 out of 20 people were either wearing flip flops or tennis shoes. And, if you took a survey, 95 percent of people who get cancer wear one of the other, or plastic shoes.

That was almost too easy

It was so obvious when I realized it. And, most of them are made in China, or somewhere. Maybe a conspiracy, how many shoes or flip flops are made by Muslims? Muslims wear leather slippers.

When and How did we become so concerned with DEHYDRATION

I spent over an hour this morning, in a waiting room at Riverside Hospital, in Columbus, Ohio, waiting for my wife to have a test run. So I sat in one of their many living room type waiting areas, people watching.

Two things were apparent. ONE, everyone wears tennis shoes of some sort. A few were wearing those cheap looking plastic things that they say are so comfortable, but really look pretty trashy. TWO, two out of three are carrying a water bottle of some kind, apparenly concerned about dehydration. Years ago, we played outside all day, without a drink of water. Water breaks at work, were just an excuse to get away from your desk for a short time.

Then, some genius, decided to put water in a pop bottle and sell it. Was he stupid, or what? Now, everyone carries that bottle around.

Some were carrying the clear plastic bottle, that is supposed to ruin your health, a few had a reusable type, and I had to wonder, what kind of water is in that reusable bottle. Did they just pour water from their plastic bottle, into a reusable plastic bottle, or just use tap water, and if so, why.

A few had a reusable bottle with a large plastic ring, that they used to carry the bottle, dangling, from their little finger. I guess their little finger does not do a lot, so let it carry the water.

Oxygen, I can see a need for, but not water. One hospital employee, filled her clear plastic bottle, with water from the water fountain. Maybe that was just her security blanket or something.

My next invention, a tennis shoe, with a hollow sole, and a cap, so you can fill it with water. When you get thirsty, and I assume all of them do, take your shoe off, remove the cap, and take a swig.

The water stored in the rubber sole would be less harmful than water stored in plastic.

I admit it, I am a leg man, a nice dress or skirt, a nice pair of legs, that works for me.

At Riverside Hospital, this morning, between 10:20 and 11:30 in the GREEN area of the hospital, they have Blue, Green, Red areas, and if you ever get out of your color area, you could be lost for days, there were no skirts, all slacks, and hospital pants, and of course, water bottles and tennis shoes.
