It's real people every day.

Great Microwave Decor
Why watch through the glass window, the food on the turntable (and the splatter) as it heats up when you can instead see some real art!
Also, kids art is somehow always the best; they see things in a more pure, unadulterated, as well as a fantastical way that makes you look at life anew again.
Enjoy the wonderful art Papi! ;-)

Covid Ultimate Mr. Clean
Not as good looking as the muscular bald guy.
But I have a feeling this colorful character gets the job done.
I wonder if Mr. Clean was transformed into this guy after he took the vaccine!
I had the first dose yesterday, and I'm feeling horrible today.
Hopefully, it will all be worth it. ;-)

Dress To Express
I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone where something like this before.
But I'd like to!
It seems colorful, bold, and exciting.
The awesome cartoon makes it youthful and alive.
We need to be more expressive, unique, and alive.
There is only one life to live, and it passes too quickly. ;-)

Flintstones Car(-Like)
Why do all the mechanic shops seem to have a car, like in this photo, lying around.
Sort of reminds me of The Flintstones Car (from the TV Show originally aired in 60s).
No motor or anything; you would just stick your feet out the bottom and you would run while in the car.
Stone Age answer to the need for an automobile.
Hey whatever works and no need to recreate the wheel either. ;-)

Merging Of Man
I can't remember--do I work at home or do I live at work?
Maybe this is the ultimate merging of the two halves of ourselves--the worker and the family man/woman.
These days were seeing a lot of mergers like this:
- Man-machine with embedded technology, robotics, and AI
- Man-environment with environmentalism and greening technologies
- Man-media with social media and other 100% always-on social computing
So why not Man Family-Work, it's just another merger of near equals in our day-to-day lives. ;-)

You're Driving Me Nuts
Homer is mad as h*ll and has Bart by throat!
Bart is screaming for help.
It so funny how art imitates life.
Where people drive others $%#&^*)* crazy.
And the other person just wants to wring their freakin' neck.
Yeah, this never really happens. ;-)

Some Reflections From The Procedure
I hate going to the hospital--who doesn't?
But I figured better to take care of something before it gets worse.
I think of it like taking the car into the mechanic for a tuneup every once in a while.
This analogy stuck with me years ago, when the orthopedist told me I needed to get a hip replacement and started to describe it as having a flat tire that needed to be repaired.
Leading up the the procedure, someone sent me this funny cartoon:
Ah, have some liquor, bite on this piece of wood, and now we'll saw your leg off!
I remember my father never even liked to go to the doctor, and he had total faith that G-d was his doctor--I think he actually managed to avoid the doctor for literally something like 30-years.
He also used to joke that many doctors were butchers, and he didn't want to get caught under their knife.
So that's certainly some apprehension going in to this.
The other thing that was interesting-sad that I saw this week when I went for an MRI was someone taking a homeless person into the radiology center for a scan.
But when the lady asked for insurance the person didn't have any, so the lady asks for "proof of homelessness."
I was flabbergasted at this as the guy was obviously homeless and literally was wearing tattered clothes.
They wouldn't do the scan until the person escorting him would come back with this proof.
I felt so bad for him and thought to myself is this what the healthcare system and care for the poverty-striken in this country has come to?
While I am so truly grateful for the miraculous care that I received this week, I am equally saddened at the care that others don't get that need it, and pray that we as a "caring society" will do better.
Anyway, I want to express my gratitude to the doctor, the hospital, my wonderful family who stood by me, and most of all to G-d for seeing me through the procedure this week and for watching over me always. ;-)

Happy Sock Faces
I was tempted to even buy some.
But the faces were on the feet.
So you couldn't see them around the ankle when you wear them.
If you wear the socks without shoes then you can see the cartoon faces.
However, then you also wear out these fun socks
I'm in for fun socks.
Just have to get the faces in the right places. ;-)

Great Comic Characters
They are originals put together by the comic creator.
The characters are made from colored Perler Beads.
Once the beads are laid out into these awesome characters, they are iron-melted together.
Each of these was advertised for $20 (not the $15 listed at the top of the picture), but we got a deal.
Together as a set, they are very cool, colorful, and fun to liven up any environment.
I have them on a display at home and it's nice to not be so serious all the time, and instead let loose with some creative juice. ;-)

Andy The Swimmer
She captured me doing my laps.
Enjoying the sunshine.
Breathing in the fresh air.
Appreciating the beautiful flowers.
Loving the pool and water.
Thank you so much for this great picture!

Held Hostage To Hate
Iran continues to spread disgusting hatred and bigotry--against the West, and journalists, and gays, and Sunni Muslims, and Jews.
Now Iran is conducting 2 vile and despicable anti-Semitic cartoon contests:
- Making fun of, desecrating, and denying the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and
- Threatening and terrorizing the people of the Holy Land of Israel.
Yet, this is the Iran we lift sanctions on and free $100+ billion to pour into yet more hate, weapons, and terror.
The results of tolerating disrespect, hate and bigotry is no doubt more of the horrible same.
What then will be the result of acquiescing to and attempting to appease threats, terror, and weapons of mass destruction? ;-)

Requirements, I Don't Know
Who are we?
Clients!
What do we want?
We don't know!
When do we want it?
Now!
This is like way to many IT projects...
The customer knows they need to do something, because of changing market conditions, internal (dys)functioning, arising competition, or external mandates and regulations.
But when the IT project managers and business analysts interview and ask the customer what they want and need to address these...quite often they get blank faces and hands raised in circuitous, endless doubt.
What do the customers really want?
For IT to define, solve, and make their problems go away--and by the way do it yesterday and without any extra / proportionate resources.
For some IT "professionals" that may be a little lacking themselves, you end up getting half-assed solutions to half-baked requirements that accomplish nothing or perhaps even break things more.
Hence, the true miracle of technology--to read minds and deliver valuable solutions to problems that no one could fully define to begin with! ;-)

Minions Help Me!
This women is sitting on the Metro.
On her lap are two big bags.
One bag (a knapsack) has a Minion on the front.
And on top of the Minion bag is her overfilled buldging handbag.
The Minion is slanted sideways with the heavy handbag on its head, practically squooshing his face.
From the likes of it, the Minion looks like he's got one big headache and wants out of there.
His eyes pleading for a new owner to loyally serve or just to get that darn heavy handbag off its head.
Feel better Minion...unfortunately, it's not your day. ;-)

New Body Parts
I heard that something like a million joint replacements are now done in the U.S. every year.
And these procedures are expected to increase precipitously with projections by 2030 of:
- 3.48 million knee replacements (a factor of almost 7 times)
- 572,000 hip replacements (an almost 2-fold increase)
This also means that revision surgeries will start to rise rapidly as replacements wear out or are in need of replacement themselves.
Thank G-d that they have these procedures to help people--I don't know how people lived with the incessant pain and degenerative mobility even a generation ago.
What's it like to have a body part inserted to augment your own?
Just ask this horse! ;-)
