Well, my driving suit and stuff arrived yesterday.  The suit fits but it is a tad snugger than I'd hoped.  I guess I'm going to have to try a little harder to drop those last few pounds.  I put on the shoes and socks to make sure I had the laces tied where I want them and sat in front of the TV for a while.  Then I had the bright idea to put on all the rest of the stuff and take a picture.  I sent it to John with the caption, “What has at least one thumb and watches TV in a driving suit, shoes, and Nomex Baklava?  This guy!”  If he attached the photo, you’ll get it.  Anyhoo, so there’s that going on.  I didn’t rant yesterday because it would have degenerated into name calling and stuff and I don’t really want to risk my job any more than the actual incident has.  To make a short story long, there is a group on a bit of a power trip, another being “tattle tails,” and another forcing me to get involved in a way that, frankly, ain't my job.  Perhaps I'll tell the story one day when it all dies down and is less likely to be traced back to me.  So, what else is going on?  Oh, John sent me a text the other night saying, “Google image search Sherlyn Chopra.  You’re welcome.”  That got me looking around at other Indian actresses and I had to go check out Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai.  If you are a fan of “The Big Bang Theory” you may remember Sheldon and Raj discussing those two.  I texted John and said I'm going to have to side with Sheldon on that argument.  He asked on which side that was and I replied, “Madhuri Dixit all the way!”  I then went on to point out, “Unless Vidya Balan is in the race, of course.”  His reply?  “Well that goes without saying, obviously.  Pft.”  He then admitted to being a Riya Sen man.  I agreed she was a tasty tomato indeed.  Damn, I really got the “Asian Flu” for them Indian women!  Unfortunately, my “Indian Buffy” has moved on from the railroad.  Oh, there used to be a girl in the TOB who looked like an Indian Sarah Michelle Gellar… hence “Indian Buffy.”  Oh well, what are you going to do?  Have I ever mentioned that Asian Heritage Day is the one event of that kind I don’t mind working here at the railroad?  Yeah, they usually have a group of Bollywood… uh, impersonators?  Whatever Juan would call them, they are a group of dancers in traditional Indian outfits doing a dance number from some Bollywood film.  I think we put a picture of one of them up right after the event this year, now that I think about it.  Anyhoo, on to other stuff.  I think John and I may take my old 60” TV to the Boys and Girls Club Resale Store in Granbury Saturday.  That is, if my sister ever gets back with me about where it is and when it is open.  If not, I think we’ll plan on installing the steering wheel in Fiona finally.  There is also a gun show this weekend, maybe we’ll do that.  Basically I'm saying I don’t know what we’re doing this Saturday.  Larry and I will be going to the gun show on Sunday, moist likely, so I kinda doubt John and I will on Saturday.  Of course I'm up for it, but I don’t know about John.  We could shop for that bitchin’ .22 pistol he wants!  (That was supposed to be read in a lilting, sing-song voice by the way.)  I can't afford anything but that has never stopped me before.  Well ok, it did that ONE time when I couldn’t even afford the $8.00 to get in the show.  Holy crap!  It is almost 1630 h!  I gotta go!  Talk to y'all tomorrow… if you’re lucky.
