Using a handwipe to sanitize grocery cart handles is a) sensible, or b) yuppie affectation?
Since I have only seen this phenomenon at Whole Foods, I'm going to go with (b). I do wish they had more santize-y things around the raw chicken though.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I'd say b, unless your sanitizing it for a kid sitting in the front of the cart.

So the preliminary tests indicate Devi might be hyperthyroid, and I okayed them running a further test.
Jeezlouise. Can one of my cats not have a chronic condition? Is that a lot to ask?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I vote c) bad, because it causes the superbugs or whatever!

Heh. Speaking of grammar police, one of our designers just sent the following out to our whole department:
Some of you have heard me argue against the use of two spaces between sentences, and endured my grousing about "old typewriter habits" and my mumblings of the words "mono-spacing" and "proportional."
along with a PDF of a few pages from a book called "The Mac is Not a Typewriter."

Our Trader Joes has sanitizing wipes available. I'd use them if it didn't create more landfill-filler. But after grocery shopping (and after getting on and off the Metro, etc.) I do try to wash my hands.
I don't think of myself as germ phobic, but now I probably seem like I am to all of you. Eh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, I'm honestly curious. I saw this woman at the Kroger doing it yesterday, which means she had to bring her own handwipes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I used to use two spaces between sentences. I don't remember when exactly, but it was a significant decision for me when I decided to stop doing that.

Safeway now has a thing of wipes mounted by the doors.

Nah -- I'm a huge fan of handwashing, but not antibiotic wipes. I believe what I've heard that they work well enough to help the bacteria evolve stronger but not well enough to eliminate them.
Also, I can't stop putting two spaces after a period. I didn't even learn to type on a typewriter, I don't think!!
