Today I went out to the store to buy some nice flowers to put on my grandfather’s grave. He is buried in a nearby cemetery; he was a veteran of the Korean war. He died in his early 50’s of cancer - a very misterious thing since he was a health nut that never smoked. We think now that his cancer was caused by his possible exposure to some dangerous chemicals while he was serving in the war. Be that as it may, I plan to go to the cemetery tomorrow with my grandmother to put some flowers on his grave. I hope the weather is nice!
Had to go to the pharmacy today to buy some allergy medicine. What a huge pain in the neck it is to have to go to the counter and present your driver’s license and ask permission to buy allergy medicine! They have to put your name and address and license number and gender and phone number in their database, and then they will only allow you to buy a certain allotment per month. And that allotment is NOT enough to get you through the month! What a huge pain this is, and all because some meth heads use this kind of medicine to make their illegal drugs. What is even more annoying is knowing that they also use drain cleaner and water softener salt to make their drugs, but you don’t have to register to buy THOSE products (yet!)
There was a nationwide recall of garlic bread in Australia, including the garlic bread sold by Domino’s Pizza. The recall happened because the bread turned blue when it was baked. The company that makes the garlic bread says that they don’t believe that the bread is a health hazard, but recalled it anyway. They have no explanation as to why it turns blue, they think it has something to do with the type of garlic that they used for this particular batch. I don’t think that makes a lot of sense, I’ve never heard of garlic turning blue when it is baked - and if there WAS a garlic that turns blue when baked it seems to me that would be widely known in the culinary arts industry to begin with. I think it sounds fishy to me!
Well, we are going to have to flip a coin. My wife and I want to see both the Mama Mia movie and the Dark Knight movie today but we can’t see both! Maybe we’ll just have to go down to the movie theater and see which one has seats available! I’d prefer to see the Dark Knight movie but don’t know if we can get in - I’ve heard that there are really long lines to see it!
I don’t know that much about digital cameras, but I like the fact that you can see your picture immediately and take another one if you don’t like it. I also like that you download your pictures and print them off on your computer immediately so you don’t have to take film to the store to be processed. What I don’t like about them is how quickly they go through batteries! I’ve noticed that prices on digital cameras are going down, which is a good thing and that is a big reason why I’m thinking about buying one. I’m just not prepared to spend several hundred dollars on a camera that has high megapixels and high zoom numbers. So I have to settle for lower megapixels with higher zoom or higher megapixels with lower zoom. I don’t know which is the better feature to have so I’ve stalled in my tracks. Which do YOU think is better, and why?
