.....lessons from the pawn shop...

today i went into the pawn shop downtown to look at bass guitars with
eric. neither of us play bass, but we've decided that we need to buy
one, because our sound just isn't coming together without it. as we
were walking out of the guitar section, a very large man, with his
shirt unbuttoned all the way down (and no undershirt), asked us if we
pick a lot.  eric said no.  then he backtracked and said,
"well, i pick a lot...i'm just not any good."  the man looked at
eric and said, "you know what the key to picking good is?".  eric
said no.  the man replied, "confidence. without confidence, you'll
never be able to play good.".  i loved it.





.....frenchburg...

on our way to mt. sterling tonight, as we passed through frenchburg, i
saw a gas station that was advertising gas for 78 cents per
LITER.  apparently frenchburg is on the metric system. 
hmm...FRENCHburg...i think i see it now!



right before we got into frenchburg, we were behind a MediCab that
turned off.  as we passed it, i noticed on the door of the car it
said, "were going places"  not we're...WERE. i'm not sure if they couldn't spring for the apostrophe, or if they WERE going places, but have since decided that they are not.
