It's been a wild day on the Texas Gulf Coast.

We had major flooding that no one expected. The weather guys said there would be thunderstorms and some "spot" flooding. Yeah. If the spot is a bridge stretching over a bayou that you have to drive over on your way home from work.

Safe at home, I tried to make dinner. The package cover for my meal had a little pull tab with the words "Easy Open" printed on it. I had to take a steak knife to get that plastic cover off.

This got me thinking about oxymorons:

Accurate weather forecast

Easy open

Jumbo shrimp

Military intelligence

Friendly fire
(Probably coined by someone endowed with military intelligence)

Pretty ugly

Happily married

Job security


Very Happy Feel free to add your own Very Happy
