Movie Night Was A Bust!

Yesterday evening was my 2nd event for the month.  It was movie night and we showed Sherlock Holmes.  It was a complete bust - practically no one showed up!  We even had quite a movie watching spread.  We had candy and popcorn for snacking, soda and freshly baked cookies (sorry Dad!).  Of course, Matt and I were there, and only three others attended, one of which doesn't live at our complex!  He attended because he was invited by a current tenant.  The final participant only came because he just happened to stop by the clubhouse around our start time and had nothing else going on that evening.  But, I'm not fretting about it because I still got to watch the movie and frankly it's a whole lot better watching a action movie in movie room vs. our TV.  So whereas the actual event itself was a bust, Matt and I still had fun.  :)

Since I had another busy day of random boring details, I thought I would share a couple of interesting observations I've made about Ohio's safety laws.  First and foremost, there is no helmet law here.  It's so weird to see motorcyclists drive around without a helmet.  Don't they know that even though there's no law requiring them to wear a helmet, there is the law of gravity and there is no beating that one!  Why take the chance?  (Oh, Mom, you must be so proud of me right now!)
Also, I never saw this in CA so maybe it's an Ohio thing, but it seems as if everywhere we go, we see this sign posted at the front entrance of many public places.
Pay no attention to the above sign, it's the one below that we see everywhere.  Is this seriously something I have to worry about?  Will I be shopping one day at a store that didn't post this sign and will held up at gun point because some lady is packing and whips our her gun because I grabbed the shirt she wanted to buy!?  

Well, be rest assured that we are only attending places that clearly has this sign posted!  :)  Want to know the sad thing, I took this picture outside the main entrance of Matt's work place!  And want to know something scary, enlarge the picture and read the black text message below the no gun image.  Is it me, or is there a typo - no one is to conceal any deadly "pons" in the premise.  Great, I'd hate for someone to get off on a technicality because their gun is considered a "weapon" rather than it's nickname "pon" !!!
