Maybe he has a salt shaker?

To protect himself from the snow demons?

I keep thinking I should buy a snow shovel--now that I own my place, I have to be the one shoveling...and it's not like it'll go bad if I get one this year and don't use it til next year! But I haven't gotten around to it (and I do have a garage, and a scraper)

I completed an onerous task today! Doing all my contact logs for the last month. Of course, for a couple of them, I still need to do several months' back. And now I have to write up the cover sheets for all of them. And take them to UPS.

I, on the other hand, am playing around with Google Goggles. So, opposite of onerous.

I think I broke it.

Growing up in LA in the 60s my neighbors from the east coast used to comment on how you could not get decent pizza there. When I finally tasted NY Pizza I understood what they were talking about. Been a long time since I've been in Southern California, and of course San Francisco is a different planet from LA as far as food is concerned. I gather that even if decent Pizza is now available in LA it is not common.

I once found out the spatula had gone missing because a roommate was using it in lieu of an ice scraper.

The only vegetables I've had so far today are bits of dehydrated spring onion in a noodle bowl. Well, unless you count coffee beans.

I really don't get NY pizza. Why have a crust so weak that you can fold it? I much prefer Chicago thin crust--it's got a really good crackery crust that does a good job of holding the extra sauce we put on our pizza, as well as the toppings (yum, sausage...).

Won't anyone think of the children?

Apparently Chinese mothers are thinking of the children: [link]

I like fractions. I originally reacted to decimals with distaste. So much messier! 5/7, for instance, takes just two numerals. But as a decimal, you need six digits, and that's just to get to the point where they repeat. In theory, you have numbers forever!

Of course, I got over it, just in time for the aptly named irrational numbers. But I still like fractions.

Yeah, I like fractions. I remember we spent a lot of time on them in (I think) sixth grade, learning to find the least-common-denominator so we could add and subtract them and whatnot....

If we're county coffee beans I've had way more than one serving of fruit and veg today.

We've gotten a bit of snow here, finally. Just a dusting, though.

Just had chicken roast with garlic, rosemary, sea salt and olive oil, with carrots and potatoes roasted in pan. So yum! It helped that I was starving.

This also introduced Oz to home roasted chicken. His interest in the chicken was rather...intense. I think I need to watch that chicken closely.
