Pattern Blogging

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BLOG HAS LITTLE OF INTEREST OR SUBSTANTIVE CONTENT. DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU WASTE YOUR TIME READING IT.

Pattern blogging is something like male pattern baldness. Blogs that occur in somewhat predictable patterns with occasional bald spots.

I've noted that I suffer from this syndrome as do many others. I suppose it occurs when we get busy with important things in life like walking the dog and taking the trash to the curb. I try to avoid too large a bald spot in my writings thus this useless blog.

Also, one of the reasons for the latest drought is that I am working on a blog that may have some real content. Of course it relates to politics and ranting about incompetence,etc. It has created a condition rather like constipation but I'll keep grunting and soon deluge my readers with fantastic drivel (hows that for a mental image).

Had a phone call the other evening. It was a young lady doing a survey (stress not selling anything), ok, I'm retired and decided to cooperate. Event though there were some questions about what I though of the local grocery, some politics, etc., it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it was sponsord by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. One question that puzzled me was: "If you had a choice of any insurance company, what would it be?" I admit that is not something I lay awake wondering about. I gave a mental shrug but deciding not to confess my ignorance told her "Scott Adams."

A few mintues after completing the survey I had a call back by the supervisor of the young lady doing the survey. He wanted to just verify a couple questions. One was related to my age group, the other was the insurance company I most wanted - I repeated my answer, "Scott Adams." He thanked me and hung up. Now doesn't Scott Adams sound like an insurance company rather then the Dilbert Cartoonist?

I'm watching the US Open while writing this. Just saw a pro (Cabrera) hit a drive that went more then twice the distance I can drive a ball, 397 yards, that is huge.

I gave you a warning.
