Wednesday

October 13th.  Do you feel lucky?

Just really busy here trying to wrap up those October 15th due dates.  Ugh.

A couple of notable items.  First, a little related to Drake's misstep with their new logo, The Gap tried the same type of change, and their customers basically made them go back to the old one.  This is just simple preference to stay the same rather than the new logo being offensive or something.  Can't say that I have a lot of interest one way or the other, but it is interesting that Gap customers care enough to make the Board retract the switch.  Lots of money spent on this thing too.

The other point, unrelated to the Gap business, is a word of caution to the fitness folks in the peanut gallery to make good decisions on clothing and self-protection for those early morning or evening workouts outside.  I almost collected a female jogger after sunset last night as I turned the Taurus onto Maplecrest around 1900 hours.  She certainly wasn't wearing bright clothing, nor did she slow down or anticipate a problem as she assumed a pedestrian's right-of-way from turning traffic behind her right shoulder.  I had to brake hard, and she had to jump away from the front of my car. 

That turning car from behind you is a danger for runners and/or bikers.  That's one of the disadvantages of the  iPod as well.  Whatever.  Be careful!  Anticipate that the driver of that car has no clue about you.  Wear the bright shirt/jacket.  Wait if you must.  There are no awards for getting home in time to see DWTS.

Loving the cool weather.
