The elimination of Autumn.

This has been happening for years.  Commercial interests have been destroying the very idea of Thanksgiving ever since the idea of Black Friday and Cyber Monday caught on with the mainstream public.  But this year has just been absolutely outrageous.  Wal*Mart already has their Holiday commercials playing, and T-Mobile made a big boo-boo with their "4G Wonderland" (say that 3 times fast and you'll see what I mean).  But do you want to know who I blame? Justin Bieber and Michael Bublé.  They both released Christmas albums far too early this year.  I'm just as guilt by listening to Bublé's album.  It also doesn't help that I have never been in cold weather before, so now whenever it gets chilly here at WKU, I get in the Christmas mood.  But hey, if Amazon wants to have Electronics deals all the way up 'til Black Friday, I say go ahead.  I'm all for savings.  But let's not forget what comes between Halloween and Christmas.

Unlabeled Street Signs and more.

During move-in weekend, my mom and I decided to explore around the city of Bowling Green.  Using a combination of Google maps on my phone, and some paper maps, we attempted to find the second Wal*Mart.    It seemed as if every other street we came upon did not have a street sign.  How am I supposed to know where to turn if the directions say Street A, but Street A is unlabeled?  You could end up (as we did) 3 miles into the country before you find a place where you can turn around and head back.  I'm also going to include out-of-date bus schedules in this post.  The WKU website only has 2010 Bus Schedules posted.  It says that the bus to the mall comes once every half hour, but guess what, this year it only comes once an hour.  Imagine the fun I had waiting outside a Wal*Mart in Kentucky at 8:30pm with bags of stuff.
