Notes from the Weekend


  • In case you ever find yourself in an argument with a waitress, this is how you cook eggs over easy.


  • If you suddenly find yourself in need of a cow skull, they are on sale a mile west of the Hernando exit for between $25 and $30. But hurry… PETA’s apparently making them get rid of them.


  • Sheridan’s on Stage at Kirby-Whitten makes a good Mango and Pinapple smoothie for cheaper than anywhere else in town.


  • As the temperature rises, the ratio of happy dog owners to angry rednecks at the dog park nears parity.


  • I’m watching The Ringer and just realized that even though he’s lied to everyone and has effectively rigged the Special Olympics, Steve/Jeffery is the most likeable character Johnny Knoxville has ever played. Does that say more about him or me?

So what happened at the dog park? Did the heat transform happy dog owners into angry rednecks, ala Bill Bixby? Or, did the heat provoke marauding angry rednecks to enter the dog park and terrorize the happy dog owners?

I think it's more a simple function of heat tolerance. The bulk of the easy going sorts you usually find there in abundance were apparently going easy in front of their air conditioners. It brought the yelling, dog yanking element that is often marginally represented there into starker relief. The guy that set me off enough to write that is a regular... he was just particularly obnoxious yesterday.
