I was on a mission trip to Trinidad with a local Christian radio station and at the compound we were staying at there was a girl with another organization there I saw her wearing a shirt with my Elementary School Name on there which is in a small town in NE (Current population 15k).

I approached her and asked her about it. She looked at me strange and said she had never heard of the place, she had picked it up at goodwill and that she and her group were from Texas.

So now I don't approach people based on the shirt they are wearing, I assume they just bought it at goodwill and move on.

Unless you live on a beach or in a nudist colony, you must not talk to many people with that approach! I have an opposite approach, I don't talk to people out in public who aren't wearing pants/shorts...but from a distance I will tell them to go to a goodwill if they need to. Seems safer that way to me. To each his own I guess

Default Free Booze to Shanghai

Last January we visited Thailand. I live in a small town in northern Wisconsin. On the leg of our flight from Chicago to Shanghai, I was wearing a golf club shirt from my club in Wisconsin. The flight took the polar route. I had a question for the flight attendant as we were nearing the North Pole. She saw my shirt and went crazy because her brother-in-law has a summer home there. We talked for quite awhile and my glass was never empty all the way to Shanghai, and no, we were not in first class. Finding someone at North Pole, who had been to our dinky little town, is a long shot in my book.

I was once sitting in a Denny's in Atlanta, talking to a friend about a girl I used to know in Texas. No lie - a girl in the next booth popped her head over and looked at me. It was her. I had no idea she had ever left Texas. We re-established our friendship and hung out together for several years. She moved again and I have no idea where.

If she responds to this post, I am going to crap.
