100 Pounds of Dynamite

Well, not a bag, but new package. I bought some yesterday. It looked like the standard package:

until I noticed the “EZ Close Pack” label. I turned it around and saw this:

(OK, this is a shot from after its been opened, but you get the idea). It closes like a cereal box. You slide the cardboard edge into the slot to keep it from popping up. But otherwise it looks like the standard package. So what does it look like when its open?

It opens up like a clamshell. Pretty neat.

Paris Bennett

Holy Crap. I just watched Paris’ performance of “Midnight Train to Georgia”. It seems like shes been doing this her whole life.

Last week they changed the separator paper on the printer from canary yellow to light blue. When I picked up my printout not only did I notice, but I said to myself “Hey look they’re using blue for the separator pages now! “

Me and my favorite kids

Drew, Julie and Jessica visited this weekend. It was kinda like a hurricane and a tornado had it out in the living room and guest roon, but overall we had a good time.

We had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and saw “Nanny McPhee” on Friday night. Then on saturday we all went to Martha’s for her open house party. Apparently the crab cakes were “to die for”.

They’ve got socks and all the soap has been washed out of their hair. So now they’re all off to go to grandma’s house in West Virgina.

I’ll be doing some cleaning. And laundry. Then more cleaning…

I just finished reading “Crimes Against Logic” by Jamie Whyte. Its 157 pages of short chapters “exposing the bogus arguments of politicians, priests, journalists and other serial offenders”

I found myself identifying with a lot of what he had to say. He deconstructs the way that we tend to get off track in arguements, or are mislead with flawed logic (whether the speaker knows he’s misleading or not). If you’ve ever felt frustrated because someone seemed to be completely avoiding rational thought in defense of a position, I’d recommend this book.
