The Mystery continues as both girls continue to plead their innocence even after presented with the evidence against them and the worst part is, they could be telling the truth. And, if that's the case, I have no suspects and will continue to be mercilessly attacked without any hope of justice or retribution.But enough about that for today. Just a couple of quick topics I'd like to discuss.
Remember when we were younger and you craved something from a vending machine? You just prayed you had some change in your pocket or that you had recently gone to the bank and gotten fresh ones; because back in the day, if your dollar bill wasn't perfectly straight, that machine was going to spit it right back in your face, as if to mock you and your petty, crumpled dollar.
Today though, I've got to hand it to the manufacturers. I recently purchased an orange juice from the break room with a bill I was certain would be rejected. It almost looked like it had been through the wash it was so wrinkled. But I was thirsty, needed my OJ, and had to try.
To my amazement, the machine sucked it right up and now me and my delicious citrusy beverage are one.

As I was driving home last night from the Blues 4-2 victory over the LA Kings I realized something that I've never noticed before: there are an abundance of American flags lining the roads of our city. By abundance, I don't mean one here and one there. I counted over 25 flags in a 3 minute stretch of Manchester road.Don't get me wrong, I am proud to live in this country (even though I've never lived in another one). I imagine, based on what I read and hear, we have it pretty good in the United States. I just wonder if there are as many Canadian flags hanging in the streets of Toronto, or as many Thai flags in the streets of Bangkok, for example, as I've noticed here in St. Louis.
The point is, next time you're in the car count the flags. I think you'll be surprised at just how high you count.

I've spent some time in England, and there are not nearly as many union jacks flapping about as there are stars and stripes in the US. Not even close. I wonder why we love flags so much. It's not even just the American flag, every state, municipality, and corporation also seems to have to fly their colors. Weird.
