   like to sees a crisp uniform & clean shaven, & no damned earphones listening   
   to the hockey game on their pocket radio    
      
     Yep.  I prefer the old days when people dressed nicely in public, not   
   like they had rooted around in the dark for just anything to put on.   
     At work I listen to podcasts on my phone I've downloaded and use only one   
   Bluetooth ear bud.  The volume is down low enough so I can hear what's going   
   on around me and if speaking to someone that earbud is either turned off   
   (pausing the podcast) or removed,   
     I have often been to 10 feet from a student with earphones/buds in and   
   can hear what they are listening to.  I can only imagine their hearing   
   problems in the future).     
      
   > or you're calling out transfer points    
      
     Our buses have a recording that says things like the upcoming street is   
   whatever.   
     One of the most annoying messages is when the turn signal is on and its   
   announced in a very loud voice "this bus is making a left/right turn" over   
   and over until the flasher is turned off.   
       
   > Yup, the tuinmes they are a-changing! *sigh*   
      
     And not always for the better.   
      
   > > tattoos and the rest.   
      
     I was reminded after I wrote that: Never get a tattoo where the judge can   
   see it.  :)   
     Of course now some of the judges are inked up themselves I imagine.   
     I wonder how many people when they get older will ask themselves about   
   being inked off over "What was I thinking?"     
     At least back in my day a lot of foolish things weren't permanent.   
      
   > don't wear a hat, even on cloudy days.   
      
     I very rarely ever so outside bareheaded.   
     In the winter I wear a wool cap (one light for cool days, one heavy for   
   cold days) and my cap.  And I wear a cap year round.  In the summer to keep   
   the sun out of my eyes.   
     People say they won't wear one because it messes up their hair.  I would   
   rather have messy hair than pneumonia.     
     Nor do I wear shorts outside.  Even to take out the trash.  Though I did   
   once and felt half naked.   
      People always say the more clothes I have on the better I look.  :)   
      
   > like "how does it matter what colour they are?"   
      
     I recall one time talking about someone, something silly they said or   
   did.  Later the person I was telling this to asked why didn't I mention the   
   fella was black.  I asked "what difference did it make?" and they had no reply.   
     Unless its pertinent to the story/conversation a persons skin colour   
   means nothing to me.   
      
   > I'm sorry you misunderstood me; & I'm sorry you're the type to assumne the   
   worst about someone.  Have a nice day. . . . somewhere else!   
      
      "Have a nice day... somewhere else".  LOL  ==swipe==
