While driving on I-85 yesterday, I passed two different sets of "Inmates Working" signs; however, I never saw anyone working. Of course, I thought, "Should I be concerned that I have been told twice that inmates are working, but I don't see any?" I'm guessing the signs were placed on the road a bit before the inmates actually arrived; however, I think it would be best to place the signs on the road at the very moment the inmates arrive and then remove them at the very moment the inmates leave. That way, there is no cause for concern that we are possibly missing inmates.
Although not extremely clumsy, I have been known to lose my balance a time or two. My most memorable fall was at a friend's wedding 5 or 6 years ago. I lost my balance on some carpeted stairs. My embarrassment quickly faded when I saw blood running down my leg. Jay and I had to leave the reception early to attend to my knee. The carpet did quite a number on it. In fact, it took several weeks for my injured knee to heal. Okay... that might be a bad trip, but the worst trip ever goes to the gallery visitor who recently ripped a portion of Picasso's The Actor. According to the New York Post, the accidental trip reduces the value of the painting by at least 65 million dollars! Can you imagine!?! I wonder if she'll ever visit a gallery again. I also wonder why such valuable works of art are not fully protected so that this sort of thing cannot happen. For more on this story, see:
Believe me, the next time I visit an art gallery, I'm going to be extra careful!
