Mark Bittman is such a drama queen. I didn't see much in there that counters Teppy's analysis from a week or so ago. He just seems to hate McDonald's and fast food culture, really. He's a bit of a food elitist in my opinion.
Nora already said what I would have about Bittman. He's annoying at best, but on this specific issue, he's sanctimonious, pearl-clutching, and inflammatory. He says nothing to actually put the oatmeal's nutritional content in context, and that allows him to pontificate his ass off. I noted that only a few people in the comments were willing to point out that the ingredients he was decrying as horrific were, actually, pretty common and pretty healthy.
I'm on the iPod, and typing is annoying, so I'll end my screed here.
I have a variety of silly hats, but they are more for display than wear. I don't really wear hats, but I want to start.
metal wig stand...Is TSA going to let me fly with it?
Should be no problem in a checked bag, but in carry-on? Maybe, maybe not. It is subject to whim: [link] "To ensure travelers' security, Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) may determine that an item not on the Prohibited Items List is prohibited."
Yeah, I had gotten that far, but I wasn't sure which way the whim might go. I think I will risk it though--they are cheap
so 2 hours outside weeding = tired. My yard is such a disaster, just years of neglect. I'm gonna eat and go out again. I would really like to pull up all the weeds and grass in one bed area and get mulch down.
Our first crocus is up!! I have grading this weekend, but I hope the weather is nice enough next weekend that I can do some yardwork.
Also, my cat purrs so loudly and violently it sounds like she's gargling. It cracks my shit up.
The wig stand got through no problem. Yay
So TSA didn't mistake the wig stand for an antenna of nefarious intent? That's good.
I shall check into the train sitch further before I decide. It would certainly be less hassle than flying.
