In response to last week’s question, "Can you be stationary
in Mobile (AL)?," my cycling friend Ted observed, " Yes you can. And it seems like the most stationary folks
in Mobile live in mobile homes.
My neighbor Al queried, "You can have a stationary bike,
so why not?" My flower shop friend Bruce
challenged, "I don't think you can be stationary, but perhaps a stamp
(you'd have to ask my therapist)."
My dad's beach buddy Bob pointed out, "I know
of a place called Office Depot there that is full of stationery items."
My temple friend Richard recalled, "Bob Dylan released a song in
1967 titled “Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again.” If you are
stuck in Mobile, that would certainly indicate you are stationary!"
My PR friend Stan replied, "Yes, especially if their traffic
lights stay red as long as Atlanta's."
My writing and sailing friend Rich proposed, "Yes you
can! I recommend that get you get real stationary during Mardi Gras and
just let the party flow right over you."
My temple friend Bob concluded, "If you're not a stickler
for the spelling of the word station(a)(e)ry and you were a tree in a previous
life or a statue in this one, the answer is, yes."
Please share your
thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
Can If a girl fell in the water, could she be Buoyant? (from my young drinking friend Ellie)

heartily.... have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile!
