Postprandial Musings

Had to make a jaunt across to Southside to go to the credit union. Absolutely gorgeous day out there--lots of blue sky and sunshine, light breeze, 86 degrees. And those are real degrees, not the Frenchy made-up kind.

Some thoughts: Even a very ugly city looks pretty good when the sun's shining. Birmingham's not ugly (mostly) but it does have some graceless parts that are an insult to concrete and asphalt. But you know, even alleyways and medical gas enclosures can look striking with the right light. Mostly.

The color green. I know I said earlier it's my least favorite color, but I forgot about redheaded girls. Redheaded girls wearing green makes green my favorite color. It's even more favoriter when the green happens to be a corduroy miniskirt. Just sayin'...

Speaking of clothes, I think I messed up today. I have on my white shirt with the thin, closely-spaced blue stripes, and my heather blue pants, and for some reason I thought that I would be able to successfully wear a tie that has diagonal dark blue stripes interspersed with a sternly geometric series of interlocking bits of white, gray, and light blue. This is a close match for it. The overall effect looks bad. The colors don't really match the stripes in my shirt or the color of my pants, and the pattern of the tie clashes with the stripes on the shirt. The question is whether to go ahead and give up and take my tie off, or act like it's supposed to look like crap. Sorta like David Letterman's insistence on wearing light-colored socks. Every day.

Constructing a dome over Legion Field? Golly, that's just a great idea. In fact, it's such a good idea, we should put one over the whole city! That would be cool. Of course, it would make it much harder to fly around in our flying cars, but hey.

Anyway, it sure is nice outside.

Hye, isn't Miss Reba a redhead? Are you going to be shopping for green skirts soon?

Well, it depends on the color on the box, but it's more of a dark blonde most times, or light brown. Ish.
