Monday's Missives

• There was a rock in the pocket of my oldest sons new cargo shorts.



• It is like volcanic pumice but, light brown with glittery crystals in it, very light (I bet it would float) and about the size of a peach pit. He and my daughter brought it to me to check out after he found it. I looked at, hefted it to get the feel for its weight and smelled it.



• Then I licked it for taste.



• Ewwwww DAD!
• I met a 72 year old man recently who told me,"The secret to success is vegetarianism. I've been a vegetarian for 50 years." He told me that about 30 minutes after seeing him eat the most epic, ginormous, delicious looking cheeseburger I've ever seen in my life.



• My neighbor is always spraying or spreading something on his lawn. When it heats up after a cool morning it can smell chemical-ie even.



• I lightly weed and feed mine in spring and sometimes late summer/fall, water it- that's it and it looks a lot better than his.
• I've yet to read anything comparing what the Taliban spends in Afghanistan and AQI spends in Iraq versus what the US spends as a percentage of what each has available.



• Well- probably a nonsense question, we all just print more bills.



• The commercial for the Jack In The Box Mini Sirloin Burgers is epic. "Herding cows the size of schnauzers" Ha, funny.


• I have never eaten at White Castle.



• I've used the word "epic" twice in this post.
