365 Days of Knowledge #62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, and 69

Back from the Phish show and it was nothing short of amazing. The energy of the crowd was insane, to say the least. RZ and I only had tickets for the first night so we decided to spend the rest of the time in Washington DC, which was just as amazing. It was a great trip but I am exhausted and not 100% ready to go back to work in the morning. So, what did I learn? A lot of my tidbits came from late night radio shows I listened to on the drive during our trip.

1. Over the past two decades, a Japanese cosmetics company has been researching hair length and how it coincides with the economy. According to their study, women tend to cut their hair shorter when the economy is in a slump and leave it longer when the economy is doing well. This kind of makes sense because when people are looking for jobs you want to try to have a clean-cut look, which is more easily attainable with shorter hair.

2. When there is a child abduction in or around Chicago, the city puts the vehicle information the supposed abductor is driving on signs over the motorway.

3. Phish fans brought an estimated $7 to $8 million dollars of retail revenue to the Hampton area in Virginia during the three day concert this last weekend.

4. Cops confiscated approximately $1.2 million dollars worth of illegal drugs from Phish fans during the three day concert in Hampton. Wasn't me! FYI - I saw maybe a handful of cops while I was there. You'd have to have been pretty obvious to have gotten busted, but that's just my opinion.

5. Barbie, who recently turned 50, was a risk for Mattel because they weren't confident mothers would buy their children a doll with breasts.

6. Rabbits don't make as good of pets as cats do. Rabbits charge and grunt.

7. When you go on a long trip you may begin to form a relationship with the voice inside your GPS navigational system. You may even find yourself asking them philosophical questions and then become disappointed when they don't respond.

8. When a person is tired they tend to be slothful and not insightful, hence this post. All apologies.

9. Last but not least I learned that I don't travel nearly as much as I used to and I really miss it.

I'm going to leave you with an awesome picture from the concert on Friday. I didn't take this because I was told I couldn't bring my camera in the venue, even though by the time I got in the venue people were just charging ahead and I didn't even get my bag checked and I could have easily gotten my camera in and taken some really awesome pictures and perhaps a video so I could remember that moment for ever and put it in my scrapbook next to the ticket I have........I'm a bit jaded and will now stop rambling.
