Random things

Random observations from the past few days:

• The Philips 66 on 24 was out of every kind of gas except for Premium, which was “only” 4.09 – cheaper than regular everywhere else.  Weird…
• I hate ants.  Thanks to my son sneaking snacks he’s not supposed to have into closets and bathroom and leaving crumbs and half-eaten food hidden everywhere, we have had ants everywhere for the past week.  We can’t kill ‘em fast enough.  But the weirdest part: This morning they were crawling in and out of my laptop computer.  Whaaa?????  Apparently, some of the Sunkist that was spilled on the outside of it a month ago apparently made it’s way into the area where the lid latches to the base when you close it.  So, the ants have found that.  Oh, joy.
• Apparently, Ray Boltz came out of the closet this past week.  If that’s indeed true, that’s pretty sad – and, as Rick and Bubba were saying on the radio Monday, it’s even sadder that his attitude about it is pretty unrepentant.  Oh, well, I thought his music was gay anyway.  
• Is that bad for me to say?  Dang, I know it’s easy (too easy) to step on some toes and offend people b/c few people seem to have thick skins these days – and I know that Ray Boltz has had quite a few fans who would be furious with me right now.  But I have to confess:   As a child of current contemporary worship, hard rock, and heavy metal, that merging of pseudo-operatic voice with contemporary music he’s been famous for just sounded…weird.  But, hey…that’s me.  Like what you like.
• A beach trip is looking more and more likely.  I don’t care if it’s 40 degrees on the sand.  It’s still the beach.  It’s still local seafood.  There’s still the smell of salt in the air.  I might even like the beach better when it’s cool outside.
