Nonsense post today, just rambling . . .

While watching the Big Sleep, I particularly noticed a line in the film.

Humphrey Bogart (or Phillip Marlowe in this case) asks a waiter, "Is there a phone in this joint?"

I'll wager that line won't be in many movies from here on out.

The other day, we spent an afternoon "over the hill" in Los Gatos. Some forty plus years ago, when I first took my test for the Post Office, I received an offer of employment from the main office in San Jose. Two days later, I received a similar offer from the Post Office in Los Gatos (where I was living at the time).

I seriously considered the Los Gatos offer, but was convinced that the San Jose offer was more advantageous, since with so many employees, chances for advancement were much better in San Jose.

Driving by there, it occurred to me how very different my life would have been had I chosen to work in Los Gatos. I would have never met my dear Terry, who has shaped so much of my life.

Isn't it amazing when you stop and think what these seemingly minor decisions make in the paths our lives eventually take?

Today, we were in the grocery store and I found myself in the pet food aisle. And there, in the middle of a regular aisle was a large refrigerated compartment, complete with a freezer.

Inside the freezer, I saw this

I'm not sure why it struck me so funny, but it did. So, of course, I got out my phone and took a picture. Really, isn't this a bit much?

But that's just me.

And please don't yell, I'm a dog lover, but this seemed over the top.

That's it for today
