Afternoon

All I hear out everybody around here is "Afternoon," or "Morning," or even just "Ma'am"... have we gotten so lazy that we're shortening the greetings now? What the heck does "Afternoon" mean to me anyway? Are you telling me that its afternoon? You won't even wish me a good afternoon? It's more of just a way to announce to everyone that you know what time of day it is, or that you are being that smart ass telling everyone what time of day it is.

And folks,  that's what really grinds my gears.

Also the first dust storm I have ever experienced was this very day, followed by a bit of light rain.  I drove through it all for some KFC, but it really wasn't worth it.
