is it me?

I noticed a familiar symbol being used as a logo on a local politician’s website here. I recognize the circular logo, I saw it on a t-shirt advertising by another company the other day. Then it hit me—why, it’s the on/off button on computers everywhere. If you see someone else using it as a logo, let me know and I’ll post them. I want to see how many people are using this image seen everywhere around the world millions of times a day, and I wonder about the copyright issues on such an ubiquitous image.

I’m processing an album of my wife’s late moms family photos. It’s weird, the costumes have changed, but the people are the same as today. I may post more of these, but here’s one I call pride, the only notation in the wax paper holding the pictures down is “David”.

funny friday

I’m not big on blonde jokes, but this one is too funny too pass up. Just replace blonde with brunette or Latvian, or whateverrr …

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little yellow bug and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.

The blonde cop asked to see the blonde’s driver’s license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. “What does it look like”?’ she finally asked.

The policewoman replied, “It’s square and it has your picture on it”.

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it, and handed it to the policewoman. “Here it is,” she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, “Okay, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a cop” .
