Math Nerds Inc. - It's hip to B^2

And you thought you had a bad day at work?
How do you clean up a mess like this?

But wait! There's more!
I thought what I posted the other night was the extent of the NPR story but it turns out to have been just the very abbreviated video version. Here's the real thing:
"Not Ready to Retire in Sun City"
Click on the "Listen to this story" just to the right of our picture and then you can follow along with the printed transcript underneath.
But be sure to read the comment left at the bottom by one of the civic leaders here in Sun City. I'm trading Al in for a Rottweiler. And I called Pam to tell her to turn off her headlights as she turns the corner onto our street when she's coming home tonight.
On the down low until this clears.

Got a flat tire this morning on my Long Slow Distance ride. I called AAA but they declined my service call. Something about motor vehicles only.
By the time I got it changed and was back on the road it was HOT! So I didn't do the full distance.

Grammar mnemonic (memory device) for next time your wondering which word is correct:
Words have gender, people have sex.
I need to know that for my sermon tomorrow. We'll be in 1 Cor. 11 where Paul teaches them that women should have their heads covered in worship and men should not.
Interesting stuff!

Three weeks after his arrival Al is still in the adjustment period. I say that because we are still noticing changes in his behavior as he settles into his new environment and routine. He's coming out of his shell more each day. Unfortunately that includes things like a fascination with socks. If we don't get a dresser drawer shut all the way (Pam has one that sticks) we'll come home to find the contents on the floor. Nothing chewed, just removed.
And the morning is PLAY TIME! He still wakes up early but now with lots of energy. I suspect that he had training sessions first thing in the a.m. because if he doesn't have something to do he paces and whines. We got him a rawhide bone to chew on and that does the trick; gives him something to do with all that energy. He alternates between chewing vigorously and tossing it up in the air. The problem is that his digestive track doesn't handle the rawhide so well, so later in the day he gets a look of desperation on his face and it's time to go out NOW! I think we'll try to find something else to give him, 'cause it's hard to scoop up...well, never mind.

I feel sorry for the GM and Chrysler dealerships that are family businesses, especially those located in smaller towns. The economic impact on a small community has got to really hurt. Where do the mechanics, body shop workers and sales force go to get work? And how far do people in those rural and farm communities now have to drive to get warranty service?

So what does Paul mean when he says women should have their heads covered in church?
