no title again today

Guess what? It's another chilly day here in Western, NY, and there's still snow on the ground and it's the 4th of April. The saving grace is this: It's supposed to be in the high 60's this week (yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll believe it when I feel it). Sounds like someone is still crabby (see my terse blog from yesterday).

Ridiculous item of the day: It's not their fault, they are just color coordinated challenged. The prisoners in Tokyo will be getting a makeover. In an effort to improve prisoner morale, the colors of the uniforms and the bedding will soon change. Instead of pajamas that are black and white striped and uniforms that are yellow-green; prisoners will mint green pajamas and pale blue outfits. The bedding, instead of orange and green striped, will now feature a "warm" color such as brown. The thinking, by the color psychologists (honest, I'm not making this up), is that the old uniforms aren't bright and the new ones will give prisoners a more positive outlook. The old bedding caused prisoners to be nervous and aggressive (so that's why prisons are so violent; the bedsheets clash) and the new look will allow for a better night's sleep. I've heard of certain prisons treating their prisoners so good they'd never want to leave but this is ridiculous. Did Martha Stewart have a hand in this?

That's all for now. Enjoy YOUR day.
