245: My name begins with...


Roasted (P)eanuts at Five Guys. If you are within their service area and haven't tried them, they make the best old fashioned burgers you can find anywhere. They'll serve the kind of burger that you would make from scratch and serve to your own family, it is that good.

The peanuts are free, they are Five Guys' way of thanking you for waiting while your food is cooked.

Today was also my first time ever having a bun-less burger. Instead of bread they simply wrap the burger in lettuce. It was great, but it after the first bite I resigned myself to using a fork. So it was two firsts: first burger without a bun, and first time I use a fork and knife to eat a burger.

244: Together


As usual, PJ decided to play the too-cool-for-his-parents teenager.

September Topics


As usual I am following the Fat Mum Slim list. This month is actually a "people's choice" picked by Chantelle from thousands of suggestions.

243: Dangerous



"Programmer's Kitty," masterfully using his environment for maximum concealment (notice the Amazon box), stalks the Most "Dangerous" Game (aka "Caustic Kitty").

Once Caustic Kitty realized what was going on, she stared him down until he decided to walk away and try stalking something a little less dangerous, like for example, PJ.

Happy Caturday!

242: Clutter


Of course, I misread my prompt, so I thought I was looking for "cluster."

Then I got sidetracked, we were shopping and I just *knew* that there are some cereals with the word *clutter* in the name. What I didn't count on was the 500,000 different cereal types that they sell at Walmart.

Then it went from silly to truly stupid: frustrated because I couldn't find the cereal with the wrong words in it, I decided to google for it. And I found it. And as soon as I put the phone away and looked RIGHT IN THE SHELF 6 INCHES FROM MY FACE was this cereal.

At that time I decided I was done for the day. It still took me two more hours to figure out that I had the wrong prompt.

241: Lucky


At least in this particular shopping center, this Nissan Leaf driver was lucky to actually find an open parking slot at the EV charging station. 99% of the time none of the cars parked in these marked spots are EVs, and this always happens with hundreds of empty spots just a few yards away.
