NEVER JET HOT

This poor kid, her dad is a real nerd, graphing her feeding times, diaper changes(!) Now sleep? Future therapist fodder for sure. The Trixie Update: Metrics

We have all seen these before, but they still crack me up. They are especially appealing when neighbor girl I call "Screamy McScreamerson" is playing in the street.

The Mrs. thought it would be fun to go to the local street fair; You know, when they block off the street and put up tents hawking sunglasses, risque potholders (??), there's always the "sand art" thing, what else? Oh yeah, I always take this opportunity to get the Sunday paper for about a third off the newsstand price. His pitch was "Free newspaper! Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!" but like I said, I was there to do business, he had me at hello. Then, the garage sales. There are always several this time of year. We went to one and I picked up $3 DVD's, H.G. Wells' "Time Machine", and a Sinbad movie, the one with the multi-armed dude and the cyclops.

From the Snohomish County Freecycle Yahoo list. Good grief, what else is fermenting in there? Not that I'm one to talk, I think we have some vintage cola in the pantry.
