Wondering if this is also part of social distancing.
Shopping cart up a pole.
No one else up there.
Safe from Coronavirus, hopefully.
Maybe some illusive toilet paper to be found in the sky mall?
Desperate times calling for desperate measures or an anxious society is losing its mind. ;-)

Keep The F*** Away From Me
Social distancing is the new norm.
Shaking hands is a no-no!
Even in the park yesterday, they had a sign prominently displayed that read:
We might as well all just wear t-shirts or little reminder signs on each of us with:
That about sums it up without putting up a specific distance range. ;-)

Israel 2020: Day 1
So great today to be back in the Holy Land of Israel.
Every time we come, we can literally see how the country has matured and built up even more since just the short time before.
Of course, we arrived with a little jet lag but still managed to take a nice walk around the bustling streets of Tel Aviv.
The restaurants, cafes, shops, theaters, and culture here is awesome.
I guess the toughest thing is deciding what we want to do each day, but that is all part of the adventure.
See you tomorrow! ;-)

Celebrating The Holidays
The matching suit and tie with all the decorative holiday ornaments.
The bright red shirt.
The tree hat with the star on top.
And the dark glasses.
Wow, standout city!
Where do you get clothing like this?
I wonder if I could do this with a menorah too. LOL
Happy Holidays to all. ;-)

Holiday Earrings With Pizazz
These holiday earrings have loads of pizazz.
Watch them flash red from ear to ear!
The funny thing is no one else even notices.
What an awesome holiday fashion statement from The Nation's Capital. ;-)

Superhero Dress
This dress was a standout.
Superhero dress by D&G.
Comic style with the pow and bam!
I don't get the pig superhero logo on the jacket and other merchandise next to it.
Uh, who wants to wear and look like a pig?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
D&G is off the deep end. ;-)

Graffiti Art
I really love Graffiti Art!
Went to Wynwood Walls in Miami.
The art is just fantastic.
Better than the typical museum.
So creative.
So big.
So colorful.
So full of life.
They took a whole rundown neighborhood and made it cool and great.
On December 5, they will be opening the Museum of Graffiti.
Can't wait to go back and immerse myself in it! ;-)

Beautiful Moroccan Chandelier
Just wanted to share this beautiful Moroccan chandelier.
Thought this really adds life, color, and culture to any room.
I love the mosaic of glass pieces and their vibrant colors and interesting shapes.
Set into the brass holders this stunning chandelier is a standout and lights up not only the room, but also perhaps even our lives. ;-)

Love the red.
Love the spikes on the door.
Would like a little tougher handle on this.
But overall that's a door! ;-)

Cash Is King
This was a funny shirt this lady was wearing on the Metro.
It mimics the Sweet 'N Low artificial sweetener logo and says:
This was one of those shirts that gets your attention.
It's different. It plays off a familiar brand. It bright pink, red, and blue and stands out. And it could certainly have a sexual connotation.
Anyway, this was a pretty bold shirt to wear into conservative Washington, D.C.
But I guess wherever you go, fashion, sexuality, and cash is king. ;-)

Gucci Sneakers
Wow, these Gucci sneakers were over the top!
Thick, thick soles and built up sides.
A strap adorning the sneaker with colored-stones (faux gems).
Very heavy with a durable kick-a*s feel.
All for $1,590 at Bloomingdale's.
As we joke as kids with a eastern European "old country" droll, "It's a bargain!" ;-)

A Mosquito Into A Mule
Making a mountain out of a molehill
That's when you make a big deal out of nothing.
So yesterday, I heard the European version of this as:
Making a mosquito into a mule
Honestly, I like that version a lot better.
A mosquito bites and is annoying.
But a mule resists and is a very stubborn animal that can drive you crazy.
You definitely don't want to make a mosquito into a mule! ;-)

Theater And A Bagel
We stopped in at the Flying V Awesome-A-Thon yesterday.
How can anything "awesome" not be good?
Flying V mixes it up with the arts and culture.
They combine theater with wrestling!
Essentially, this group tries to add adventure and combat to the more staid dramatic performances.
Anything that brings theater more alive is definitely a good thing.
We got to sit in on the event organizers doing a live podcast and could definitely see their enthusiasm for "Shakespeare and training" and becoming a success story.
Anyway, they did have some snacks at the event, and this colorful bagel was definitely the standout. ;-)

This Is The IT Help Desk
This was a funny true story that happened recently.
Someone found a roach walking around their desk in the office.
Not knowing who to call...they call the (IT) Help Desk.
I know many organizations are moving to Enterprise Service Desks where you can call and get help for all sorts of issues at work.
Even then, I wonder if the employees answering the line will be trained in who to call to get a Roach Motel or some Raid.
Perhaps this is the next evolution of support. ;-)

Hello. What is the asset number on the device you are calling about?
Asset Number! You don't need my asset number.
Well, what is the nature of your problem?
I'll tell you what my problem is. The problem is that I have a cockroach walking around on my desk!"
Ah, do you know that you are calling the IT!!! Help Desk?
Ah, yes I do. Can you give me the number for who to call about this roach?
Ah, you are calling the wrong number. Why don't you try finding out who your facilities person is?
Facilities person! But you guys are the Help Desk! Can't you tell me how to get help to get rid of this roach? And by the way--where there is one, there are definitely more.
Ah, We don't typically handle roach problems, but thank you for calling the Help Desk. {{click}}

Three Ladies
Just a beautiful artist plate that I picked up in Israel.
Loved the colors and simplicity of this.
I got a "aged brass" (gold) plate stand for this.
Enjoy looking at this now in our living room and also remembering our wonderful trip, thank G-d.
Also, I wonder if I know these three ladies from somewhere. ;-)

Monday Signs
Pick a sign for your desk:
- Good morning let the stress begin
- Step away from my desk and no one gets hurt
- I found your nose, it was in my business
- I'm pretty sure I have no idea
Which one would you pick?

Tag Lines Deliver
Ouch! How is that for a tag line?
That certainly has a sharp bite to it, but you know what? It works.
Witty, funny, and maybe even true.
It's the old adage that "sex sells."
That's a delivery service that I'm sure many would nod their heads to. ;-)

The Photo Every Man Fears
This was quite an interesting picture to put in the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
That is one mighty large scissors that lady is holding.
Uh, she looks a little commando-ish with the jump suit, cap, and sunglasses.
Is she ready for war or for punishing some bad men?
I don't believe there is a man out there that isn't spooked by this lady.
My *** hurts just looking at this. ;-)
