Random Questions for Thursday

Have you ever had an epiphany? No, me neither. I've thought about it, but I'm not sure these things can be planned. We've all have had ideas that seemed brilliant to us at the time. But when I came down, sobered up, stopped laughing, and/or woke up most of them didn't pan out.

But concern over epiphanies is just one of the questions I have about life in particular. Here are a few of the others:

When we worry about the role models that might be harmful to our children, which should bother us the most:
> purveyors of second-hand e-smoke,
> cannibalistic breakfast cereal,
> or the United States Congress inaction?

Has everyone forgotten about how to use their turn indicators, or are they just saving up for really important turns?

What are the mystical generation-naming conventions that gave us "the baby-boomers" and "gen-x" and "the High-Fructose-Corn-Syrup Generation" (or some such), and how can we avoid them?

When other people living in the US of A register on the "do not call" list, do they all start getting several calls every day that start out, "Hello Seniors..."?

And cycling back to drivers who drive you insane, do the people who drive with their arms out the windows - sometimes straight out, sometimes bent up from the elbow, sometimes hanging down by the car door - realize some of us are old enough to think all that might mean something about their immediate motoring plans and become even more confused than we were already?

Did my college friend Bobby tell very many other people about his favorite saying, "Sure happy it's Thursday" and is that why more an more people are using the acronym today?

I clearly don't have the answers, but maybe something I wrote will lead some of you to an epiphany. Or can epiphanies be a group activity?
