Weather or Not

The weather data I pull from the NOAA and display for my own amusement showed me this today:

The temperature is 28° F and the current conditions are best described as “Ice Crystals”

I often make references to “my movie” (with apologies to JFA) in which the movie I write will have twisted outcomes to all of the standard movie plots and situations. Actually, I suppose I should start calling it “my film” because it would obviously not be commercially viable. True art rarely is.

Still, now that I firmly believe that everyday situations are just as crazy as the stuff in movies, I start to wonder if even that will be enough…

In the rough chart I conjured in my head last night, the revenue line and the “I don’t need to sell my blood plasma” line are converging nicely…

Pete says: Oh how I wish there were a place near my home that would pay me for my plasma, or other bodily fluids I can quicky replenish/have too much of – and remember kids, besides providing some extra income, plasma can actually save lives – start selling your plasma today!
