Traveling nearly 800 miles per week gives me many opportunities to witness and photograph the strangest of events. Some of those would never make the local newscast, let alone the newspaper. Thus, it seems my duty to describe and share this "Nearly Newz" with the public.

It's All or None..........
Dictionary.com defines "all" in it's pronoun form as "1. The entire or total number, amount, or quantity; totality. 2. Everything, everyone.".... I don't know what you think, but this sounds like a great deal. "Yes, I'd like some pepperoni, beef, sausage, ham, chicken, and some pineapple, and extra cheese, olives, onions and maybe some anchovies. Go ahead and top that with bacon, some veggies and then some more cheese." (Of course, if the pizza is priced to cover all toppings you select, then a cheese only pizza is kind of a rip off.) Ok, they are so proud of this phrase that they trademarked it (below logo). You know me, I had to call their office and ask just what they were trying to say. They told me they wanted to portray the idea that there is only ONE price regardless of your topping choice. Myself, I think it would be better to say "Any Topping, No Extra Charge" or "Choose from All Toppings,..." This brand is usually located in many convenience stores or travel centers. Incidently, they recently changed the company name to Hunt Brothers Pizza, formerly Buffet Style Pizza. It seems that none of their outlets actually had a buffet.

Really, what could be interesting about me? My career of 30+ yrs has been convenience store related. Presently, I am selling fixtures and equipment and doing c-store design. Part-time, I am a sales manager at a Joplin location of the nation's 7th largest c-store chain. Before a brief career with Walgreens, I had supervised 5 salesmen in the Joplin area for a wholesale supplier. My first major career was with a dominant c-store chain in the midwest. Generally, I am creative, somewhat humorous, fun to be with and I love my family and the quirks of the English language. My computer is my friend, and I have over 300 frisbees. After 29 years, I have been divorced since fall of 2007. We have had great family vacations! I would also like to write a book of everything that I've ever written. (Hey, I'm done already!) I've invented about 100 things, patented zero, so someone else has always taken them to market before me and made millions, I'm sure. My family and friends are of great importance to me. Thanks for looking, feel free to email me or comment!
