Intimidating groups of teenagers adorn the landscape
When I go to the mall I spend a lot of time on the benches in the main concourse watching the crowds go by. I usually come away with new respect for mothers of small children. You can learn much about people and our own demographic by watching shoppers at the mall. I am reminded of how my grandparents, many years ago would angle park their car along the main street of my small town so they could observe the coming and going of Friday night shoppers. I guess I am continuing a family tradition by mall watching. Archie, Betty and Veronica of long ago are no longer on the scene, nor is the local soda joint. The last time we saw that was on "Happy Days" on television. The same sociology is at work today at the mall as was in those old comic books, except that it seems we have more of the Jughead characters than we had in the 40's and 50's.
Don't cheer smoking ban; you may be next target
Why don't you stop "polling" the bar owners and start spending some money in their establishments." What made you think I wasn't stopping by for a drink as a segue to asking about traffic? "You sure do enjoy talking online, but where are you in the real world?" I work for Big Pharma. I post on my lunch break and sometimes between meetings. "I own a bar, you havent been in so stop saying you are polling bar owners." I'd love to stop in your bar! Where are you and what is the bar name? And, I know this may come as a surprise, but there are other bar owners that are not you that I've talked to. "Are you sampling and going only where you feel it meets your objectives?" I laid out my criteria a few posts ago. (cont.) " .

UT student shot during Fort Sanders robbery; suspect sought
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh but I'm just a cautious and alert person. Maybe it's growing up in Memphis or even a bit of military slipping out but I know I'm not putting my faith in KPD or UTPD to prevent criminals from doing as they please to me. I try to eliminate myself as a potential target by doing simple things and not carrying around fear. Criminals feed off fear and they can smell it and take advantage. .
Ponderings from PapaBear
The NFL regular season has come to a close and the Cleveland Browns just missed making the playoffs. A few weeks ago it sure looked like they were in good shape as far as the post season was concerned, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Still, the Browns did register a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in their final game and there will be high hopes for this team entering the 2008 season. The Brownies finished with a 10-6 record, far exceeding expectations for this team entering 2007. This is the first time this franchise has reached a double digit win total since they re-entered the league in 1999. They provided many thrills for their die hard fans this season and belive me it was long overdue. I grew up in Cleveland and have been a life long Browns fan, so the following opinion might be a bit bias.
