*Dash Observes Needless Tragedies... simply intended to observe, entertain and even make us each think a little more. No offense intended to anyone, but we could all benefit from a little extra thought . . . and perhaps a mirror next to the front door.

Duct Tape Distraction Attempt?
"Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff."

Blondes Have More What?
(Provided by a very loyal reader witnessing a bad personal experience.)
My reader provided no physical description. . .but I'm just sayin'. . .)
I just witnessed this at the Post Office:
Characters:
1) YW = Young woman (maybe 20), trying to return a package to Victoria Secrets
2) PW = Postal Worker
YW: I want to drop this off.
PW: How do you want this sent?
YW: Right away.
PW: (places it on scale) The prices and options are right there (points to screen).
YW: Oh, I've already paid for the shipping.
PW: How did you pay for shipping?
YW: The label is right there.
PW: Ma'am, that's a UPS label.
YW: Well, can you mail this?
PW: Yes, how do you want to ship it?
YW: What do you mean?
PW: Choose one of the options.
YW: Will you give me my money back for what I've already paid?
PW: No, you'll have to take that up with UPS.
YW: Why can't you do it?
PW: Because we're not UPS and you haven't given me any money.
PW: I know. I haven't given you any money because I already paid you for it.
PW: No Ma'am, you paid UPS.
YW: Aren't you UPS?
PW: No Ma'am, we're the United States Postal Service, the Post Office.
YW: (blank stare)
PW: Do you still want to mail this package?
YW: Yes, but not if I have to pay for it again.
PW: Ma'am the only way you won't have to pay again is if you take it to UPS.
YW: But, why can't you take it?
PW: Because we're not UPS and they don't pick up here.
YW: But you just said you are the post office. (turns to the line behind her) Didn't she just say this is the post office?
PW: Ma'am, that is a different company. You will either have to pay me or take it to UPS.
YW: Can you call them and ask them to come and get it?
PW: No ma'am, I can't help you. You need to get out of my line now.

The Wearin' (and the totin') of the Green
This woman is FAR too into St. Patrick's Day. No one told her your ensemble does not have to match your luggage.

Vegas Fashion Trend
Aside from the plethora of fashion DON'Ts one sees in Vegas, this is a very apparent and frequent flaw in the city's wardrobe.
These structures have been in this state of "undress" for over a year now.

No "overly coordinated" looks here, but at least one of these "gents" is seasonally appropriate.
NEW FLASH: Shorts are NOT winter clothing!

Thump Thump Thump . . .

The Halls Are Alive, With the Sound of Mueslix
Somehow the Von Trapps just seemed out of place here. Can we say "tourists" any louder?
Webster's definition:
pre-packaged dry muesli mixture.
