When going through the apartment, I found several items that could be sold. I carefully packed them up, and was all set to go downtown to the antique/coin/collectable store right on Main Street.
I decided to call and double check their hours of operation.
I found out they were no longer in business.
This is so typical of the Internet. It is never updated (well, hardly ever). I ended up wasting a morning trying to find other places close to me. I am leery of driving out of my comfort zone as I won’t have new glasses until after I see the ophthalmologist. Bottom line–waste of precious time. Often, online you will find a listing that is completely outdated. It is very irritating.
Second item–I have begun to notice signs in several places essentially telling people not to be rude, attack the staff, threaten, swear, spit and generally not do acts of general mayhem. I know two were in the hospital, but I don’t remember where the other one was (perhaps a doctor’s office).
Has our culture gotten so debased that people have to be reminded to act like human beings? I remember a line in Fawlty Towers where Basil asks his wife “Did you see the people in Room 10? I don’t think they ever sat on chairs before.”
The culture rot of acting like an enraged spitting cobra every time things are not going your way seems to be becoming all-pervasive. You can see any number of videos in fast food places where people are rioting because their fries were cold.
I really do not care for the way some things are going.
God bless everyb0dy

It really is amazing, just how bad the culture rot has become. I’ve met more than a few young people who just seemed absent of all feeling, and lived only to please whatever their immediate urge happened to be. It’s not encouraging.
Yes it is not.
With those signs, I see them mostly at hospitals and clinics – places were nurses and doctors often see people at their worst. Truly sad, that they seem to be necessary!
It is a shame that have become necessary.
