HybridTalk's Thought provoking Blog

Reports from the Yellow Truck.

 [Intro: Banjo music sets background mood. Narrator: (HybridTalk) introduces the program,]  

In an effort to get closer to the heart of the American people, I have taken off in my big Yellow Truck to chitchat with other American’s and find out what they are thinking. 

My first stop will be at the Starbucks inside the Target in Solon. I make my way to a woman who is holding a number of Target bags filled with goods. She has just ordered a medium Chocolate/Banana Vivanno drink and said I was free to ask her a few questions. Her name is Jen.

HT: Hello Jen, my name is HybridTalk and I was wondering what you thought of the Bush economy?

Jen: It is killing me (rolls eyes) to where I have to cut back on my coffee size [holds out the newly purchased Vivanno]. Gas prices, food prices, they are all out of control.

HT: I see you have some packages from Target. Were you buying necessities for the home?

Jen: Oh yes. Let’s see, I have the new Ipod for my son James. For my daughter I found this great Sony Digital camera, so when she goes to college this year she can take pictures and send them to me. 

HT: So your daughter has a computer?

Jen: Yes, we bought her a Mac Book last month as a ‘going to college’ gift.

HT: And what college is she attending?

Jen: Ohio State. 

HT: Why not send her to a local school and save some money?

Jen: Well the local schools are not as good as OS and the cost is negligible. In the end it will be worth the investment.

HT: So you have hope for your daughter’s future?

Jen: Heavens yes. This IS the greatest country in the world and he hope all our children will do better than their parents did.

Police: Hey buddy, is that your big yellow truck parked in the handicap zone? Move it now or I tow it. 

HT: Um, ok, [queue exit banjo music] that’s it for now from the Yellow Truck Interviews. See ya!
