I walked to the store today as it was raining. I was wearing only a t-shirt. Some man
came up to me and asked if I wanted his cheap plastic rain poncho. I said "no thank you". He insisted and said he didn't need it, I did. So he gave it to me and I wore it. And I've kept it in case I ever need it again. I realized that yes, I am letting myself slide. I sometimes walk around in such a fog so that I walk in the rain and do not notice. Time to wake up. And I'd like to thank that man over the intertubes for his kindness, and for waking me up.

1. If we all did what was logical at all times what a boring world it would be....
Sometimes my world runs in synch with everyone else, other times I march to my drummer. What you do is who you are-nothing wrong with that.

Sounds like a nice guy was concerned and did good. Its a very sweet story-for both of you.

7. How did you get away with not wearing pants?
You did say all you were wearing was a t-shirt

8. No shoes, no shirt no service.
No pants, no problem. That's my motto.
