I May Be Changing The World | Eastern North Carolina Now

I probably exaggerated by using the title above. The World Changing Part is the Exaggerated Part. The truth is I appear to only be changing my Local Newspaper.

Are you interested enough to read on? Are you confused enough to read on? I’ll accept interested or confused as your reason for reading on. I’m not picky.

I can see you are wondering why I think I am having an effect on my Local Newspaper. It’s because I have been known to make things up in my blog and my local Newspaper appears to be following my lead.

Here is a Bullet Point Summation of the article in my Local Newspaper that has me pecking out this Foolishness...

  • Local Police have arrested a Local Indecently Exposed Man.
  • Our Local Indecently Exposed Man has showed his Indecent Parts 6 times since early June.
  • He has been seen driving 2 different vehicles but none of the victims have been able to provide a tag number because they were jogging without their cell-phones at the time that the Indecent Man became Indecent.
As this inset picture will testify women Do Not Exercise without their phones.

Do you see where my Local Newspaper tried to be like me by making things up? Did you just say you don’t?! I continue to be disappointed in you, my Dear Readers. I have tried to hone your Noticing Skills but here you go again failing to live up to my example!

As I was trying to keep my heart from attacking me at my local high school track recently, I watched this lady go round and round more times than I could count and all the time she was talking on her cell phone.

I am prone to believe that, if she called and there was no one out there to talk to, she would have held the phone to her ear anyway. If she was asked why she held the phone there when there was no one to talk to, she would probably have looked at the questioner as if he were stupid and said, “That’s where it belongs!”

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: It is hard to comprehend that there was a time when we could remember license plate numbers of bad people we encountered. Now we have come to the point where, if we don’t have our phone to take a picture of the license plate, we don’t bother trying. That’s just asking too much of us!
