Billboard

I forgot to mention that my favorite billboard on the interstate was one for HaysHasJobs.com, a sort of desperate plea for people to move to Hays, Kansas. It's as if they fear the Cheyenne have been waiting for the population to dwindle before storming the old fort outside visiting hours. It's as if the Hays City Council gets their marketing ideas from Sarah, Plain and Tall. I love my old town as much as the next former resident, but I'm not sure if one billboard right over the Kansas border is going to turn the tide on this one.

Also not helping is the rotation of images in the top banner which are either supposed to illustrate jobs (dirt track minicar driver, sunflower) or local entertainment (lightning, hallways). Most confusing though is this one which seems to offer both:


Plenty of openings for posse members, apparently. As I had 15 minutes to spend getting that screen capture, I should probably think about applying for something, something like Part-Time Combat Lifesaving Instructor.

Miracles

I try not to use this blog to mock anything other than myself. And so I want to be clear, I'm not mocking this video. I love this video.

Other things that are unknowable miracles:

Metal cone coffee filters
Fish, all fish
Upside-down
Cricket
Smells
The metric system
Magnets (still)
Scientists
Mark Wahlberg as Bob Lee Swagger
A bucket of puppies
Those doors that open at the top and the bottom
Fingers
