What does this mean? Do they have problems with people putting their feet on the wall? Is it meant to be one sentence? This is on the fancy building, I think it is a bank, on the southwest corner of 14th and 8th.
Note carefully the content of the crate is "MONEY" but I did not disclose it to the Courier Services as Money, rather I informed them that the crate contain Vital "DIPLOMATIC DOCUMENTS" belonging to my client (that´s you).A plot device worthy of Snidely Whiplash, complete with comic sans font! I wonder if the person writing this twirled his handlebar moustache and cackled gleefully "They'll never uncover my clever ruse" as he wrote that.
Every time I get one of these little juice containers I am amused by the contradictory messages. There's the traditional "Open" at the top of the container. Yet there's also the "Please use straw hole" admonishment just below. Does Tropicana not see the opposing messages?
I also have to ask why Tropicana would care how anybody opens their container. Does it matter to them whether someone opens the top, uses the straw hole, or punctures the container with a rusty nail?
I have returned from Boston. I am still sick, but not as sick as when I left. I have a doctor's appointment early Thursday morning. No photos from Boston proper, but there are some entertaining ones from the trip there and back.
The tomato has taken a turn for the worse. Compare the photo from this morning (above) with that taken a mere eight days ago.

Back in the olden days, when I lived in Ohio, there was a couple of months where I was distracted and, thus, more absent-minded than usual. I was running low on dish soap so I made sure to buy some on my next trip to the grocery store. One money saving tip I learned during that first Bush recession was to buy larger sizes, as the unit price is usually lower. That often wasn't the case at Kroger's, which I suspect countered the money saving tip by raising the unit price on large sizes. In the case of Palmolive, the largest size was the least expensive per ounce.
The next time I was in the cleaner aisle at the grocery store I "remembered" that I needed to get dish soap. I was surprised when I got home and put the new large bottle of Palmolive under the sink. A couple months later I had at least a half-dozen large bottles of dish soap under the sink. I wouldn't buy it every time I went shopping, but some days it would be on my list and other days it would be an impulse purchase. It was several years before I had to buy more.
When my father was visiting this past Christmas I realized I was almost out of shaving cream. I live above a drug store so I just went downstairs and bought a can. This evening, six weeks later, I saw that there already was a new container in the medicine cabinet. The original shaving cream hasn't run out either.
Anybody know what this instrument might be? It belonged to my grandfather and was perhaps passed down from his father or grandfather, so I'm guessing it was used on a farm. It looks like the little blades are supposed to come out of the slots at the end of the tube. They no longer do because they are bent and crimped. There's no tension in the blades so they can't be used like scissors.
I may have reached a level of Fairway insiderdom this evening. There I was at the deli counter, number in hand, waiting patiently for the people holding numbers lower than mine to be served. A deli guy looks at me and asks what I want. I politely protested that there were people in line ahead of me. The deli guy looked at the people I had pointed at, shrugged and asked me what I wanted. Half a pound of roast beef.
While at Fairway I must have had a dairy craving. I bought milk, butter, sharp cheddar, mild cheddar, gouda and romano cheese. All but the romano are going into a mac and cheese extravaganza.

The lion above doesn't actually look like that.
For your enjoyment.
Some days I don't have anything to say. I like this sunset I saw last week, though.
