Just wondering

As I was sitting at the stoplight this afternoon, I see a homeless guy standing with a sign that says, "Single fathar out of work needs help." And I couldn't help but wonder, first why "father" was misspelled, and if he is a single father, where were his kids? They weren't standing with him. It's a Sunday, so they aren't in school.

Just curious. Not judging him, but really just curious.

My Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine



















I got a new printer/scanner/copier at Office Max yesterday, so I decided to scan the picture from when I was in the hospital and got my Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine.

I don't look happy because this was post-surgery. I'm sure as a 4-year old I didn't feel very good. But check out the goods of 1980!

Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine


You remember it, don't you? I was reminded of it tonight when it was in the Daily Crossword on yahoo games. So that led me to look it up and see what ever happened to it, only to discover that they are on back on the market! That made me happy. Not that I am going to go buy one, but it is fun nostalgia.

I got mine in 1980, a year after they came out (i read that online), while I was in the hospital for surgery. I have a picture of me in the hospital bed with some gifts that I received, and that is in the picture. I wish I had it digitally to put on here. Oh well. A picture from online will have to do.
