Throwing Little Thought Pebbles at
Your Windshield October 11, 2000
Work Cam
Yes, that is a web cam shot taken at work. All I ask is that if you happen to check it in the middle of the night and you see people stealing things, you'll maybe save one of the pictures so we can give it to the local police. Not that it would happen, but wouldn't you like to be involved in keeping the workplace crime-free?
Oh, and sometimes the camera will be focussed on two pink mounds. Those are our Hostess Snoballs. Mary and I started an experiment to see how long they would last out of the wrapper. We unwrapped those in August. We started to take scientific readings, but every day the report was the same. "Getting harder, but still smell and look fresh." These things have been out of the bag for two months and two different people threatened to steal and eat them today. Which I just asked they do on camera as part of the experiment.
Oh, and if the picture isn't updating the camera or my computer are off. Hey, the world isn't perfect. As you can see by looking when the web cam is capturing the contents of my cubicle.
Road Respect
I was crawling down route 2 last week next to a car that had a "Road Respect" bumper sticker. I can only assume that this bumper sticker is supposed to make me a nicer driver. What really would have helped, though, is if the guy wasn't READING A GALL BLAMED PAPERBACK BOOK WHILE DRIVING. I'm telling you, it took every ounce of strength in my being not to pull him out of his car by his hair and smash his head into the guardrail.
If you want respect, you have to earn it, you big boob.
Salad-y Question
I was building a salad the other night out of a few items I happened to have on hand. Those items being a bag of ready-made salad, a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch, and a jar of green olives.
This got me wondering, as I often do. The brine in green olives...is that stuff a good disinfectant? I mean, it's brine. Right away that sounds like it would kill any germs that you might introduce to the jar because you licked the fork before you put it in the pickle jar. Or someone did. Not me. I wouldn't do that. (Don't panic, I'm the only one in the house who eats 'em.)
The Big DumpTruck Store
I give a big thumbs down to Glaceau Vitamin Water. The lemon-lime flavor ("Complex B"). If I want water, I'll drink water. If I want B Vitamins, I'll steal one of my son's Elmo chewables.
