A LOT OF UNCONNECTED THOUGHTS FROM A GUY WHO GETS A LOT OF UNCONNECTED THOUGHTS

Do you ever wonder who was the first person to try to eat another animal? What would make a person look at a rabbit, for instance, and think, “wow, is that animal fast. I wonder if I could catch it and eat it?” Going a step further, did they immediately decide to cook it? Were they eating rabbits before fire became a tool? Once humans started cooking meat, how long did it take to decide, or share, what temperature and cooking time came out best? Was the “original cooking temperature – Approximately ten inches above three medium logs?”
Who invented smoking? What was the original material smoked? Is there a history of that somewhere I’m not aware of?
Who invented the bow and arrow? When?
What strange things have you witnessed?
If you’re curious, one of the strangest things I’ve seen was at Disneyworld. I was there with two of my daughters’, one son-in-law, three grandkids and my ex-wife. After typing this I realized that what I just typed has nothing to do with the story. Sorry, but I think I’ll leave it in anyway. Meanwhile, back at my interesting tale:
I was walking down Mainstreet Disney World behind a couple who looked, to me, like they were in their mid 30’s. I was trying to work my way back to my group, but I could see them slightly ahead of me and decided to take it slow and people watch for a while. Of course there were kids all around, under various levels of control ranging from walking with their parents to running wild.
I clearly heard the lady in front of me say- loud enough for everyone to hear- “I wish they would have an adult only month here!” Her tone was loud and angry, so angry that there was no chance she was joking. Being a retired peacemaker, I was waiting for the man to say something calming or maybe change the subject. Instead, he replied in a louder voice, “I can’t believe they were able to collect so many misbehaved brats in one place! This is even worse than last year!” Their loud conversation continued and made it clear that they have been coming to Disneyworld at least once a year since they married six years ago. They hate kids and have vowed never to have one. However, they love Disneyworld!
I slowed my pace a bit, just to make sure these two weren’t attacked by an angry parent.
Express checkout lanes are a Godsend and I appreciate them. I was in a 15 item or less line, not too long ago. I had 13 items and, probably foolishly, I was a bit self-conscious. I was concerned that a member of the secret express lane police would not be aware that the sign said 15 because, often, only 12 items are allowed. As my anxiety mounted one of the two young men at the cash-register very politely suggested I go to the checkout three isles down. I, very defensively, blurted out, I only have 13 items. (I was sure I had been falsely accused) The young man held back a laugh and said, “But you’re the third cart in line and they have nobody waiting.” He added, “You can stay in this line if you like.”
One of the things I dislike about our Main Stream Media is their obvious collusion with the Democrats.
