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.
