Well, the discounts are nice but their attitude needs some improvement.

When ever I see a label like this I have to wonder if the rub is for tuna or if it is made from tuna?

Now, I am not sure what qualities a squash needs for a blue ribbon but this one must have them.

For most of my life, firecrackers et. al. were illegal in Michigan.  And in spite of their illegal nature, every year around the fourth of July, you could hear people setting them off all over the neighborhood.  But now that fireworks are legal in Michigan, I hardly hear anyone setting them off.  It is as if the legal nature of fireworks made them unattractive.  Go figure.

From my childhood, I remember seeing sweetened instant ice tea on the store shelves.  But since most of the people in Michigan drank unsweetened ice tea, the jars of sweetened ice tea were rather sparse.  So jumping ahead 40 years, I was surprised to not only see sweetened instant ice tea but also diet instant ice tea.  I guess tastes have changed over the years.

In a effort to reduce my consumption of Diet Coke, I decided to start drinking ice tea.  After all, I had grown up drinking ice tea.  And from my childhood, I remembered my mother making instant ice tea.  So, I headed to the store to acquire a jar.

Since instant ice tea had always been next to the instant coffee, I checked there first.  But to my surprise, I couldn’t find any.  A quick scan of the isle markers revealed that ice tea was one isle over.  When I went down that isle I found canned ice tea, bottled ice tea and even ice tea in a gallon jug, all brewed and ready for consumption.  But, there was still no instant ice tea.

Finally after a second scanning of the instant coffee section, I found some instant ice tea on a bottom shelf.  But, there was only one brand.  I guess the era of instant ice tea is now a thing of the past.

MSU is in the process of banning all tobacco use on the campus.  And while this is a noble gesture, I am not sure that the ban is enforceable.  Those who wish to smoke will do so regardless of the ban.  At best, the ban is voluntary.

Since I am on the security team at my church, I often receive security updates from the director of security.  Recently he notified me that our church is now a Pokemon Go site.  And as such, he advised that there may be individuals who are wandering around the campus while staring at their cell phone.  And unless these individuals are disruptive or destructive, we are to ignore them.

Wow, a bunch of young people wandering around the campus while staring at their cell phones.  Sounds like a normal Sunday to me.

Not only did I buy my CPAP parts on Amazon, I got “Performance” parts.

I think that it is out outrageous that my doctors office requires a prescription to buy parts for my CPAP machine.  After all, I already own the CPAP machine.  And, it is not like I am endangering myself by introducing some new chemicals into my body.  I am only repairing a machine that they sold to me.  This is like an automobile dealership requiring that all oil changes be performed by the dealership.  I wonder if they would require a prescription to buy parts for a wheel chair?  Well anyway, thankfully there is Amazon!
