Golden Pecan Trees

 Oh, Wikipedia.

I feel like every other month you are out pan-handling your patrons for donations. You are so determined to keep your site "ad-free" all the while posting querulous "we, humbly, ask you, dear reader, to donate" banners that might as well be ads. Many, if not all, of your money problems could be solved by you selling discreet ad space that can be blocked with my ad-blocker.

That way, everybody wins!

Anyway, I was just on there trying to see what Alan Alda looks like now. 

Turns out, just like Hawkeye, but older.

Yesterday, we were at Publix milling around in the meat department because I wanted to see if there were any leftover turkeys on sale. There was one and it was 22 lbs.

But only $11!

But 22 lbs!!!!!

It has come to my attention that an inordinate amount of time on this blog has been dedicated to assorted foods and their variable prices, so I'll make this short. 

I don't want the first turkey I ever cook to big THAT big. 

Bigger turkey means potential bigger turkey problems that would require bigger turkey solutions. 

But only $11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't buy it, but I keep thinking about how my life would be different if I had. 

Did you see that they are putting a Chick-Fil-A in one of the busiest intersections in town by the mall? I mean, if you want to make any place busy, just put a Chick-Fil-A there, and BOOM! You've got yourself some serious traffic. 

But to put a Chick-Fil-A where there is already too much going on? That's just cruel. 

Especially since they built a brand new building for it all the while the vacant Eckerd/Rite-Aid on the next block over stands grey and sulking like a fat clarinet player behind the color guard. Did you know that ex-pharmaceutical buildings have drive through windows, too? It would've been the perfect solution!

Oh, Eckerd building. They just didn't see it in you.

What if Sam has been a furry walrus this whole time and didn't tell anybody?

On the way to the auto shop this morning, there was a sign that said "Flagman ahead" to indicate roadwork, but there was no roadwork going on and no one around.

Me: Flagman? I wonder what his superpower is.

Mike: Invisibility.
