"Don't Touch My Toaster Strudel!!"

Yup, you can't make it up (via KSL-TV i nSalt Lake City):

"An argument over a breakfast pastry sent a West Valley man to the hospital.

It started yesterday morning when a man got upset at his roommate for eating his Toaster Strudel.

The man left and came back later with three friends. The group then attacked two of the roommates.

One of the men being attacked grabbed a knife and stabbed one of the attackers in the side. He was flown to the hospital in serious condition."

Goodbye Ann's Barber

A sad thing happened Saturday. My hair was just getting a little more out of whack than normal, and I decided it was time for a cut. I headed back across town to campus, and a small barbershop called Ann's Barber. I pulled up, parked my car and headed to the door that led to the shop and the sign was there:

"Our lease was up. Thanks again for 13 years of service!! - Ann & Andy"

It was a small shop, run by a middle-aged couple, who were very friendly and did a nice job. Once when I was headed before a job interview in Florida, they told me they'd offer to cut my hair down there if I ever moved there. Their son lived in Winter Haven. The job opportunity didn't work out, but every time I came back they'd ask if I was moving to Florida. Well, now perhaps they're down there. My hair just keeps growing (thank god I'm not going bald), but I guess I'll have to find a new place.

Not Perfect

Everyone has faults, things they'd like to improve. Well, most people are that humble I'd hope to think. I've been thinking about some of those things that plague me. It's interesting introspection; it keeps my mind working and thinking what it takes to make myself better. Right now, I've been thinking about habits. Some of those habits are bad and things I want to overcome. Other ones, I keep trying to make excuses for. We'll see which side wins.

I'm a dude, and I am grossed out

A man is barefoot - in the bathroom. At work.

Yes, this is becoming a daily occasion. No socks. Ratty hippie t-shirt. He's the same guy who rides his Schwinn to work everyday - even when it's below zero outside.

I feel generally lucky I can typically dress like a college student at the office, but this is going a little far. It's relaxed around here, but someone should step in on this case. I don't want to be that guy. It's enough that I've seen plenty of my male cohorts around here not wash their hands after doing their business. I'm thinking of creating a list, letting it grow, and then exposing it to all. Nice idea, eh? Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. But I'm sure many of you have similarly disgusting co-workers, right?
