All New 4 You

   I could begin my blog with the traditional "Well, I've decided to start a blog..." get-up, but the fact that you are reading this means that you already know that. And when I say you, I probably mean noone. Hold on- God Bless the U.S.A. is playing on my iTunes and I have to change it.

   So I was at the weird starting place for something like this where I'm unsure whether I just hit the ground running or I do some kind of "beginner" post. Maybe there's a middle-ground, and maybe I've already found it by getting off to this start. Warning: I'm a rambler.

   Honestly, I'm unsure what I need to put in this space, because I'm unsure what you people care about, if you care at all. But that's cynical.

   I could tell you about me, but that would defeat the purpose of having a profile where you can go read about me. I could tell you what I like, but I was supposed to divulge that info in the profile again, so I'm at a loss, folks. Thanks for sticking it out even this long.

    I put a Netflix movie in the mail today to be sent back to the Netflix warehouse place so the gremlins who sit and sort out movies 24 hours per day could send me a JFK documentary or whatever is up next in my queue. Of course I put the flag up on the mailbox, and when I put my DVD in, there was mail in the box. I took the mail, and I was puzzled, because it seemed a little early for the mail to have already run, but I suppose maybe she was early today.

    I thought that at least the movie would go back tomorrow, and it was not a big deal. I went back in and look out a few hours later to see that the flag was down, so I went and looked in the mailbox and saw that it was empty. At this point I'm wondering if it's possible that someone on my street knows that I get Netflix and was waiting for me to put my DVD in the mail so they could steal it. That's pretty unlikely, but it would be a bad situation, because I would have to buy the movie that I didn't really even lose.

    And I wonder if it's altogether normal to wonder if there are people who steal Netflix DVDs out of peoples' mailboxes when they aren't looking. It's unlikely, but it isn't such a bad idea. A man could wrack up a pretty good collection of movies if he was sneaky. Of course, by saying it, I could give the idea to people, but I guess this is one time that I'm glad noone reads what I write. That's all I got. Later.
