Extreme Multitasking

Things Jackspatula and I actually witnessed while roadtripping this weekend:

1. A woman removing rollers from her hair while stopped at a red light. (Apparently, women still put their hair up in rollers in Niles, Ohio.)
2. A woman on the back of a motorcycle reading a paperback novel (while the motorcycle was traveling at about 75 mph).

Plus, something we heard on a classic rock radio station broadcasting from Cleveland:

D.J.: We’ve got a beautiful day here, people are outside grilling and barbequing, and of course a lot of people are getting ready for the Deep Purple show coming up on Tuesday . . .

Wow. Not only is Deep Purple back on tour, but apparently it takes at least two days to “get ready” for them! What would that involve, exactly, Jackspatula and I wondered? Maybe you have to start drinking RIGHT NOW in order to be truly ready for Deep Purple? Or maybe you need to brush up on some serious air guitar? You have to find your oldest, most street-credible black T-shirt and rip the sleeves off?

Ah, so many things to ponder while driving through lovely northern Ohio on a lazy Sunday . . .
