    I didn't know you used to live in Wisconsin. I visited that area recently. Saw the Eagle Center. Now I wonder whether eagles prefer black squirrels or white squirrels.

    I spent three years in Wisconsin, then another 25 in Minnesota, before moving here to WA, 11 years ago. I was born in Southern California.

    I just cleaned something like 30,000 bits of email out of my gmail account.

    I didn't get a job I applied for.

    I'm not sure if I'm happy or not about it. I think I might be relieved. But, I'm also a little let down. :huh:

    Over a year since I finished my toilet paper study and I still have toilet paper left over.

    Notwithstanding your landmark study on toilet paper, my personal preference for TP is the current iteration of the Scott 1000 sheet roll. The current iteration of Scott's is thicker and softer than the Scott's we grew up with, and A LOT thicker and softer than the store-brand 1000 sheet rolls. So IMO, Scott's is now the best overall TP to get ... reasonably soft, perfect thickness (I don't like the really thick ones ... they feel like you're wiping yourself with a rug), still strong (less unintended ripping), still "septic safe" so it doesn't clog up my toilet or septic system, and still cheap (I get it on sale for 50 to 69 cents a roll).

    I took my KiNSMART Priuses (I don't like "Prii") to the car wash yesterday:

    Yeah, that's very cute. Looks like somebody left a window down, though. They're all wet inside. :)

    Note to Rae Vynn: Do not try this at home. The dalmation spots are not dishwasher safe. :)

    Yes, but I have two little Prii that are unspotted! Oh, but I don't think the shark fin antenna is dishwasher safe, either.

    I'll just hand-wash my Prii. :p

    What?? You don't wash and polish your Priuses by hand?? I hope you used the gentle crystal cycle, at least.

    Top rack, drip dry, which is ... close enough! That's the standard I aspire to these days. To wit, I'm drinking Three Buck Chuck out of a yellow plastic kid's cup from Ikea. I'm not kidding:
