Look what I found today.

Apple Jacks were my favorite as a kid. I want to like these. They’ll probably be okay. They probably won’t remind me of Apple Jacks and I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed. But I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw them.

My morning routine currently involves half a toasted bagel with cream cheese and apple butter so I didn’t buy a box. Anybody try them yet?

Dude, treat yourself. Life is short.

Not sure what to think of this. A guy in my neighborhood a couple of doors down started mowing his lawn at 6:20am. 

I get the Texas summer is brutal. I get the impulse to mow your lawn at sunset and dawn, the lowest the temp will be while having light.

But is that a violation of the neighborhood social contract to be respectful and honor a “quiet hours” period?

Edit to add: He’s probably late 50’s/early 60’s in age, if that matters for heat/health danger.

Saw a box of Kit Kat cereal the other day was tempted but held off.

Will it be a treat, though? If it tastes too much of apple and cinnamon, will it taste like Apple Jacks? If it tastes like Apple Jacks, will that be all that good? It looks right. I’m not sure what I’m expecting from the taste.

I’m sure I’ll try it eventually. But like I said, I’ve got bagels and cream cheese and apple butter so my morning sweet pastry slot is already filled.

This is hard to top:

Not too long ago I learned that Pop-Tarts cereal was a thing. I’d never seen it in the stores. I checked several stores again but nope, I couldn’t find it. Not that I was planning to buy some, I just wondered if I’d missed it.

While I was looking I found this. I didn’t buy it, either. Wasn’t really interested. But I hadn’t seen it before. Have you seen it? I don’t know if they’re selling it nationwide. Since Wendy’s is based here I thought maybe they were test marketing it.

[markstanco 12616]

Never seen these in hotels before.
The hotel is next to the Toronto conference center. I guess it’s for when you hook-up with people you meet at conference.
Not particularly useful for this conference that my wife is attending. 100s of unattractive math (statistics) nerds calculating the probability of banging a stranger is 0%  
 

A math conference sounds exhilarating.

Has something changed in addition or multiplication so drastically that y’all had to leave the country and meet about it?

[Underdog 28774]

Tried the lemon cream pie PTs a while back and wasn't it impressed with it, may have even tried the s'mores but don't remember how they were if I did.  Will just stick with the unfrosted brown sugar/cinnamon, blueberry & strawberry flavors.

We weren’t particularly fond of Apple Jacks but they had the best toys inside, so we’d have to put the cereal in the trash without my parents noticing.

I don’t have any recollection of toys I found in Apple Jacks. The toys I remember most were the ones found in Freakies.

When I was in 3rd grade a bunch of my classmates and I would race our Freakmobiles out on the playground during recess. That was a blast.

Never heard of Freakies. Must have been a midwestern thing. Good for you. Let your freak flag fly.

Coincidentally, I have another Pop-Tart post. I saw these tonight. That was new (or, old). I wonder if they’re using the old style wrappers inside or if they’re still just using the newer, flimsy foil ones. Strawberry was the only flavor available in the old school packaging.

Feet on the dash. I've noticed it's always a female. I have no idea how that works either because my knees hurt just thinking about hyperextending.

Talk to a paramedic.  My SIL is one. When the accident comes, and it will, that airbag is gonna fold her like a hinge and break those legs, knees, hips, and tear every ligament from the pelvis to the toes.

You’re just following God’s word.

Leviticus 19:19
You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your animals breed with a different kind; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; nor shall you put on a garment made of two different materials.

Tropical Storm Hilary is moving up the Baja Peninsula dropping rain on Southern California. Based on the headlines, the number of cancelled events, and people telling each other “be safe”, you’d think Hurricane Andrew levels of rain are falling from the skies.

Instead we’ve gotten a light rain for the past 5 hours for a total of 0.5”. Compared to a Texas thunderstorm, the intensity is like a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Which reminds me… one of things I miss most about living in Austin was the thunderstorms and heavy rain. Perfect time to sit in the garage, drinking a beer while watching the rain. 

[YGIFS 19452]

In 40 years of inquiry with serious, doctoral level theologians and multi-generational, successful farmers alike..........not a single Christian, agriculturally inclined or otherwise, has ever been able to remotely explain to me the biblical deal about the planting of two kinds of seeds near one another.  Monsanto, whose entire business model is engineering different kinds of seeds, donates to half the churches of the great plains/ag belt.  Or their employees do anyway.  Don't get me started on the two different garments deal.  Was there some kind of satanic polyester craze going on back then?

Thankfully we are still stringent about those biblical teachings to this day and forgot about the love and forgiveness bullshit.

Guess I should retract my statement. While It was really tame where I live, it fucked up the more inland parts big time. Even my coworker who lives east of LA gchatted the team saying there was flooding in her area.

My wide bought some sugar scrub for use in the shower and now we have an ant infestation all over the bathroom and in our bedroom. She freaks out and we move to the spare bedroom while the chemicals kick in but she's still using the scrub. Now we have an infestation in the spare bedroom. Guess who's sleeping on the couch tonight?
