Oh what a delightful contribution this morning, Pidge. Your quotes from Emerson were top drawer, but the natives at the party this week want Bombeck and Chocolate. I'm in that mood too. Too many weeks of fighting droughths and heat I think and we're in mental rebellion. I don't, nor never shall (double negative?) understand the washer/sock phenomenon. Both hubby and I agreed ten years ago to buy only one style sock for everyday wear. They're all matches now except our few pair of dress socks. The odd sock still pops up without a mate, but if we wait long enough there'll be another one. We call this lonely sock our emergency sock. LOL. I noticed my weight slowly climbing up the last month or so and nipped that one in the bud pronto before it became an issue. It's a lot easier to lose ten than thirty. When the weather gets a little cooler I think most humans go into a state of preparing for hibernation. Never mind we don't hibernate, rofl, perhaps it's built into our prehistoric mitochondrial dna. I went looking for chocolate chips last night when marketing and was sticker shocked. The price has at least doubled since I last stocked up on them three years ago. I had at least twelve pounds of them in my freezer then.

Rob, I hope that this garage sale will not be as traumatic as your last one. Wow....... I just luv the pic of your grandfather in the lab. I can't tell by the photo, but I bet there is a bunsen burner in there somewhere. we had one in our chemistry lab in high school in Sweden. I also recognize some of the beakers in the photo.
