Wednesday

I got out for a few minutes at lunch time today. It was so nice outside, compared to the office. The day was fairly productive. This evening Walter & I headed out to do some grocery shopping for the dinner that he is preparing on Saturday. It hardly took us any time to get through the store. It was amazing when we asked about a particular cut of beef - they told us that they were out at the warehouse. Craziness....

Email & Newsletter Gleanings:

Thought For the Day: OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel. OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel. Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel. Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil! Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel ass!!!

Midnight Feeding
"Grandma, when you and Grandpa had your first baby, did Grandpa ever handle the middle-of-the-night feeding?"

"No. I always did that."

"That must have been before you had women's liberation."

"No, it was before we had baby bottles."

When not to hypenate a name...
Actual couples, I copied the names from the wedding announcements attached to an email that I got last week. Some of these are just plain wrong. I sure hope that these folks take the advice and don't hypenate.
