The Great Fall

I have been making things. Lots of things and learning lots of new things. I have piles of posts to post, but sadly there has been a death in the family. My 7 year old camera, who was wonderful and has traveled the world with me, met its death from a 4' fall into the dirt. I tried to save it. I tried to get others to save it. Sadly it appears it was the cameras time. Until I get a new one, I can't post any of my fun stuff. Or at least until I talk someone into letting me use their camera. The fall of mine isn't inspiring confidence though.

Heartbreaking

I discovered these at a race in my goodie bag.

 I don't like BBQ flavors and this I loved.  I emailed the company to tell them how wonderful I thought they were and they sent me a box of all the flavors.

 I fell in love with the salt and pepper. I searched for places that sold the chips. I spent 2 years telling everyone how wonderful these chips are. I was given a box of individual chips and was excited about it. Then I made a fateful mistake and read the ingredients list, of which I can't find an image of and they don't have on their site.

While they are low in calories and big on taste, the chips are not made directly from potatoes, but rather dehydrated potato flakes. WTF? Seriously, my much loved chips have been through way too much to get to be a chip. I can't enjoy them and have banished them from the house. All natural, my ass.

But I am really good at it

Lots, and I do mean lots, of people tell me they are good at driving and texting or talking on their phone. They are not. No one is. Driving is the activity and while it can be boring driving the same freeway everyday or for long distances, it is still an activity and one that can't be added to by say texting and driving. I have almost been run down multiple times by morons on their phones driving. Nothing you are texting or talking about is that important.

Here is a fun game:  text and drive   It will show how terrible you are at it.
