Employees Must Wash Hands

Let me ask you this. You go into the rest room at the restaurant and you see the sign "Employees Must Wash Hands." I want to know have any of you stopped and waited?
Waited for what? Waited for an employee to come wash your hands. That's what the sign says. Maybe, I'm being too literal. Or maybe someone ought to write the sign to make clear what they mean.
How about this. How about a law that says when a store has a sign up that says open you are allowed to open the door and go in the store. The fact that the door is locked either because they didn't unlock it, or only unlocked one side of a double door, or that they closed and left the neon sign on saying, "OPEN" doesn't matter. You might have walked into the door and broken it down because it was supposed to swing in and couldn't because there was a dead bolt into the concrete floor and how were you to know? Or maybe you yanked on the door and it didn't budge so you hooked it up to your tow hitch with a chain and ripped it open?
Maybe that's a little extreme. Here's another extreme idea. If you aren't in your seat doing your job for eight hours a day (okay, make it seven and a half), after three days your fired. We'll get someone else who can do the job. That's the standard that's applied to anyone working in a factory, you are expected to be on the job and if you aren't after three days your fired. Why do I bring this up? Because I want this simple standard applied to both the congresspeople in the House of Representatives and the senators in the Senate. I also want the rules enforced. There is a rule that says that every bill must be read out loud three times before being passed. I'll bet if they really did that and if they had to sit in their seats and listen to the bill the size of the bills would drop dramatically.
Why did I tell you this? I'm not sure it's been on my mind and I've got to tell someone. I was going to tell you all about all the various Hatteras and vacation rental things that Shelby and I have going on but I just wrote about that in my blog, http://letterstohank.blogspot.com/
So why don't you go there to learn all that good stuff?
Let's talk wine. Here's a mini-mini review:
Est! Est!! Est!! Yeah that's the name of an Italian white which if my Latin serves me correctly means, "It is!" (repeated 3 times with increasing emphasis). My mini-review, "It ain't." It's one of those "not bad" cheap white wines, not good but not bad, slightly acidic on the tongue on top of the palette. Nothing to write home about or buy again.
Thirsty Lizard - This falls right into the type of wine I'm drinking this summer, regular bottle/cute label. They say it's a white but it's really a blush. It's another "not bad" wine - not good/not bad. Tending more toward bad than good. Slight fruity and kool-aid taste with residue left in the mouth. It gets you nicely skunked in a few glasses, of course that's true of most wine for me now-a-days.

Time for the weather report - We got a storm yesterday and the day before that, the remnants of Low Pressure system "Bob"; I think it was Bob. Lots of rain, which was good for the new lawn at Sound Mind and lots of wind, which wasn't so great. It's cool in the shade provided the wind blows, which it has been at 20-30 mph, in the sun it's been brutal. Now it's sunny with gentle gusts.
