the one-armed lady

So every morning when I'm driving home from work I pass this billboard and everytime I think "why doesn't that lady have an arm?". I mean, absolutely no offense to amputees, but you don't see alot of ladies on billboards with just a nub. Especially a billboard that is advertising someplace that is supposed to be fun. Unless they are trying to say "you may not have an arm but you can sure have fun here!". (At this point an obvious segway would be to look at how our backward society views the "abnormal" or those with disabilities and how that image is generally not something that inspires people to have fun or go to a casino... but I'm too shallow for such a serious topic.) Anyway, the other day I got off the freeway to investigate further. As it turns out, the one-armed girl actually has two arms but the black gloves can't be seen from a distance. Talk about a disappointment. Oh well, she'll always have one arm to me...




































The end of an era:
In their infinite wisdom the chiefs have decided to shuffle the shifts around for no viable reason. Evidently it's a bad thing for a crew to enjoy working together and, consequently, do their job well. This is a pic from our last day as 2C. Everyone is going to new crews and new stations. I'm back to Station 1.
