I recently learned that MSU does not allow hammocks on campus. Apparently they have had problems with students hanging hammocks and damaging trees. But to make things more interesting, there is also a MSU hammock club and they enjoy using their hammocks on the campus. Fortunately, it appears to be a seasonal problem.
One of the items on my grocery list was a box of golden raisins. No problem, I have seen them hundreds of times in the store and knew right where they were located. So, when I got to the store, I headed for the dried fruit section in produce. But, while I found dried cherries, and dried apricots, and dried mangoes, I could not find any raisins.
Were they right in front of my eyes and I was not seeing them? I would feel so foolish if I asked for help only to have point out to me. And after all, I knew that they should have an ample supply. So, I kept looking.
Finally, after a half hour of searching, I asked a clerk for help. She told me that they moved the raisins to the baking section.
The other day, I over heard a conversation between two adult MSU fans. One of them admitted that even though their neighbors were U of M fans, they seemed like normal people. The other person agreed. Imagine that.
One of the perks of working for Michigan State is that every now and then, they offer free football tickets to the staff. Of course, the tickets are never for any of the big games and they are on a first come first serve basis. But they are free and if the weather is good, it could be a fun event.
The laptop that I purchased last year came with Window 8 and I absolutely hated it. So, when Microsoft came out with a free upgrade offer to Windows 10 and the promise that it was better than 8, I decided to give it a try. And, I have to say that I was so pleased with the product that I upgraded my other PC to 10 also.
The best laid plans….
This is the spring.
I think that this is a tropical fruit. Or is a pod from “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers”?
Alien seeds from outer space.
Every now and then, I get behind a semi truck that is burning “biodiesel”. I can tell that they are burning “biodiesel” because I get this strange craving for french fries.
