Quick Shots For 09/29/2017

I realize hotels want conference rooms that are as versatile as possible and adjustable to various sizes in order to accommodate multiple groups at one time and make more money by booking consecutive meetings. However, those adjustable dividing walls are really a joke. All they do is block what is going on in the adjacent meeting room from view. You can still hear everything. All this accomplishes is to distract everyone from their own meeting because they are too curious about what is happening just beyond the partition.
When I used to record news segments for the Toddcast 2.0 podcast, I had a couple of recurring themes that kept popping up. They were Tetris and poop. (Unfortunately, I never found that one perfect story that combined the two.) Well, it appears that Half Air has a recurring theme, as well: Amazon. This past week both my wife and I received notifications from the online sales giant advertising their Amazon Treasure Truck. From what I can deduce, the Treasure Truck offers special prices on certain items, stops at various locations around town and anyone who comes up to the truck can get that product at that price. As an Amazon member, you may sign up for notifications telling you where the truck is going to be and what they have to offer. Is this an effective way for Amazon to sell items and gain brand recognition? I really have no idea, but I do have a suggestion. Whether or not this venture is successful, perhaps Amazon can do even better if the Treasure Truck played children's jingles as it drove down the road and offered free Bomb Pops with every order.
I read an article this week about an organization in California that wants to put cancer warnings on coffee products. Many experts say that the amount of the questionable chemical that is actually present in coffee is so small that it poses no real threat. I'm not here to make any judgments about who is right or wrong, but, depending on who you talk to, it does seem like everything these days contains something that has the potential to cause cancer. And I'm not just speaking about man-made products. This applies to nature, as well. For instance, light from the Sun can cause Melanoma. We can't change the composition of sunlight, and putting a big warning label on the Sun would be costly, impractical, and, I suspect, impossible. I say we cut to the chase and just go straight to the source. We should contact God and request that He prints the following on every sperm and egg: "Warning: Life can cause cancer."
What's Coming Up on Half Air Plays: Next month is October, the time when everyone has fun experiencing things that are creepy, spooky and scary. Half Air Plays will be no exception. I am planning on playing several games that either have a creepy theme or involve nightmarish monsters (mostly zombies). So watch the site or subscribe to the Half Air YouTube channel to join me every Wednesday for all the fun.
