How to Celebrate The Week

People often ask how they should honor and have fun with every day. In particular, what food goes with what day.

I’m glad you asked.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 6

Yesterday was such a busy day. The Earth’s core is filled with nickel. Yes, it is. Well, have you been there? Anyway, Earth’s Core, EC, was fed up with having an inner, no view, cabin on Cruise Ship Earth.

“Four billion years,” it said, “that’s long enough. I want to be on the surface.  I want to see the stars and the Moon. I want to feel the wind brush all over me. I want to see the Folies Bergère. I’m coming out now.”

“Do you mean you’re telling the rest of the world that you’re gay?” I asked.

“I’m not. I’m molten metal. Anyway, I don’t get out much. And speaking of getting out, give me one good reason I shouldn’t bubble to the surface and cover the world,” said EC.

“There wouldn’t be any tacos if you suffocated us all with your metallic self.”

EC sighed. “Ok, but send me some tacos.”

And so, I spent of yesterday drilling a taco tube to EC. EC liked his tacos very much. It says, “Thank you.” The world is again at one with itself.

I am happy to say that I was able to take up latch hooking again today. I have done 4,752 squares out of 8,588. I am up to Charlie Brown’s neck.

Here’s what it looks like:

The information was important, that’s why you strained your brain and fretted about not remembering. But once more you forgot. All you did was diminish your self worth.

Why stress yourself?  And this brings us to

Public Service Announcement – Online DMV Tests

Plate tectonics

My friend wanted to take the online DMV test. Her friend said it would be easier than driving to the DMV and taking the written driving test. So she plugged away on her cell phone at home. Off and on. For two days. And got nowhere slowly. The DMV’s test site was glacial when it worked. But mostly the test site stopped her cold, Often and early.

So she thought she’d use the computers at her library. Which was closed today. So we drove for 3o minutes to get to a library that was open. Logging on was a snap on the 13th attempt. She started the test, which stopped. For minutes on end. So. Many. Times. The stock market closed before she finished the test. From pillar to post, the test took her three hours. It took 30 minutes. So in total,  the online test took four hours*, which is officially slower than plate tectonics.

All in all, I have to say, I was unimpressed.

* = You could have six colonoscopies in that time.**

** = To be fair, the online DMV test is discernably more pleasant.

Now you know.

The Anguished Demise of Bill bel Pepper.

Inside a bell pepper, no one can hear it scream. Maybe bell peppers’ scream can’t be heard because they’re mimes. Miming bell peppers would explain a lot.­

Bill bel Pepper went quietly into the night, but not easily as the photo below attests. On the other hand, Mr. bel Pepper had it coming as he’d giving me the silent treatment all afternoon. His fate was as an ingredient in Peanut Soup from Cameroon. This soup turned out rather well, so some good came out of him being minced into little bits.

And now, Bill bel Pepper.

The end of Bill bel Pepper
