If these cars — Jeep Wrangler, Nissan Altima and a Mercedes GLA 250 — are any guide, it seems like those who work for the post office must be doing pretty well for themselves…

Most people seem to think that their lives are largely shaped by “major” events.

But in reality, it’s the chance meetings, and the random decisions, and the spur-of-the-moment acts that have the biggest impact on our lives.

In other words, it’s actually the little things that matter most.

Sleeveless fleece vest with logo badge from an “exclusive” country club? Check? Legs splayed wide open, invading the space of others around him? Check. Talking loud on his iPhone through an earbud microphone? Check. Shaved head to hide the fact that he’s going bald and to show you how tough he is? Check. Tasseled loafers without any socks? Check. Stupid goatee? Check.

Yeah, right. Why don’t you go jump in a lake.

I’ve found that simply saying “how’s your day?” can make even the most miserable-seeming person suddenly become all warm and friendly.

Some people come across as so sad or aloof, but then when they suddenly smile, it’s as if you are looking at a totally different person. It’s funny how such a little gesture can make such a big difference in how others see you.

According to the shadow, at least.

A warm moment on a chilly morning…

If the shoe fits…

Today, for the umpteenth time, I said “hello” to someone who I thought was speaking to me, but who was actually talking to somebody else on the phone. People should wear a little “do not disturb” sign or something like that when they are otherwise engaged.

If photos of yourself are “selfies,” does that mean that those of your dog are “petties,” those of your wife are “spousies,” and those of your wife’s family are “in-lawsies” (or should it be “crazies”)…?

Can (straight) men and women every really be just “friends,” or are they simply fooling themselves (or others)? How about those who used to be in a relationship with each other — is it really possible to move past the physical and emotional attraction they once had, or are those feelings always there, lurking beneath the surface (on one side, at least)?

People can put any spin they want on it, but at the end of the day, much the way we act toward and interact with others basically boils down to one thing: mating and reproduction.

…so to speak…in reality, I think he just wanted a little R&R…

How can banks get away with advertising a “low” rate on a credit card of, say, 14.99%, while offering a “high” rate on a five-year certificate of deposit of 2.5%? Can they simply say whatever they want?

How many arguments have started because one person either misheard or misunderstood what another person said?

Waking up to this made the rest of my day a whole lot better.

When I see a woman with one of those massive tattoos that runs up her back and around the sides of her neck, I can’t help but wonder: what was she thinking?

Or should I say “drinking”…?

Call me a cynic, but when people say I can trust them, I immediately begin to think otherwise.

Why does water taste so much different when it has bubbles in it?

Obviously, they know what’s important in life.
