blood plasma, 150th
I guess today’s plasma donation is a milestone – #150. I got a pin saying “150 donations” and a little thing of juice.
A worker there offered to take my picture. “Smile!” he said.
So I did. … It seems such an unnatural thing to do these days.
garage mouse
Got him. Second attempt.
shrinkflation
Dave commented yesterday that the Dulux paint cans are 17L. We looked at a previous Glidden paint can, and it was 18.5L. Not only does the price go up substantially, but the quantity goes down. This isn’t only applicable to Triscuit crackers and Cheez Whiz spread but everything else including construction products.
vicious garden raiders
Vicious raiders invaded the front garden. They forced their way through the electric fence barricade then stood brazenly outside the house, ruminating, without remorse. Untold amounts of fodder was stolen from the property.
DS9
I just completed watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 to the end.

return deposit
I took back the cans and bottles. Some were from home but most from work.
Holy crap. 455 cans! This is the largest return I’ve ever done.

One of life’s biggest questions.
archives
I’m adding archived “ongoing letter” entries as I find them. I’m doing a deeper search in my computer archives to see what I can find. See “archive” in the Categories to read them all.
I believe it was 2001 when a virus hit my computer, so entries between 1998 and then are likely gone forever. We’ll see.
