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

Does the DMV get to close early today?

Now tagless for your comfort.

On an unrelated note, the county fair next summer should have all the cheese curds Owen can eat. Not that that helps now.

We drove to a nearby dairy this weekend. Walked out with $40 worth of cheese made on site--including said cheese curds. We can actually watch the process through big windows and Owen seemed to enjoy it.

I'd call the DMV first just to check. Or you know, deal with it on the 2nd?

So nice they're notifying you just before the end of the year when most people are away and couldn't do anything about it any way.

well, yeah. And they didn't actually send the letter. I only saw it because I was on the website and I was tooling around looking for something else and I clicked on the PDF of the letter. People are going to be pissed.

Cash, in Ohio near where I grew up, there was a cheese factory in an Amish village. I used to LOVE watching the cheese being made. Even if it was A Very Smelly Place.

When I was a kid there was a small cheese factory about half a mile from our farm. Sometimes we'd stop by and get fresh cheese curds (sometimes we'd get to watch too). Curds are the best when they're fresh enough to be squeaky. Best of all is when they're still warm.

The place got closed down by the DNR because they were dumping waste straight into the river.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a slip of paper in my wallet that says I have a license. I'm waiting for them to mail me my new one. Freaky feeling.

Yeah, that's weird. The security lady at the airport the other day said I should white out the date on my license (expiring that day), and I was all, "Oh yeah! I have the piece of paper, too! You want that??" She was like, whatever, you're fine.

Last year I went to Ikea on New Year's Eve Day (or New Year's Day? I forget), and it was pretty good -- not too many people.

white out the day? WAIT? Like alter the license. The security lady was recommending that? WHA?

White out the date after the license was expired. I've heard of that before, but I still think it's weird.

I think it's totally weird. WTF? What would the point of that be?

in looking up 56s for the next natter, wikipedia tells me this

Shirley Temple, as a child, wore 56 curls in her hair. Curls were set by her mother who thus made sure of the exact number

Whoa. OCD much?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hee. I knew that. Knowledge gained from "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood".
