One and One-half Is Not the Same As Two
by Steve West on March 15, 2012
Recent conversation with Brenda:
me: There are not two scoops of raisins in my Raisin Bran.
Brenda: Excuse me?
me: There appears to be less than two scoops of raisins in my cereal box.
Brenda: You can tell this by looking at the top of the cereal?
me: Don't be silly, I dumped it all out, sifted out the raisins, and put it back in the box.
Brenda: So now we have a box of Bran without Raisin.
me: I'll put them back but as you can clearly see, there is absolutely no way that is two scoops.
Brenda: What if their scoop is smaller than yours? Maybe they should switch to an even smaller scoop and claim there are 50 scoops in every box.
me: You are taking all the fun out of this.
Brenda: Eat some breakfast - you'll feel better.

Vacation Week II
Took the girls to a petting zoo where they could not only look at the animals but interact as well. Saw some things of interest to me; an albino peacock (well, I don't know if it was albino but it was all white); petted a llama (their hair is kinda rough); the world's fattest rabbit (big as a poodle!); pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, turkeys & chickens & roosters (oh, my); a beautiful garden of vegetables and flowers; and lots of ducks and geese.

Recent conversation with Brenda: Me: I watched the neighbor's dog for an hour the other day. Brenda: That was nice of you. Me: I let him off the leash and a cop came up to me a few minutes later and said my dog has been seen chasing a guy on a bicycle. Go »Who Needs a Karate Ghi?
