THE LAWS OF COLLEGE FOOD

From the Something Awful goons comes some timely advice for those heading off to college or university, The Laws Of College Food.
>1. Milk shall never last more than three days after date of purchase, no matter how well it is kept. There shall be no transitory stages between fresh milk and huge nasty curds.

>2. Leftovers from any meal eaten off campus shall be forgotten about until they are inedible.

>3. No freezer shall function properly for more than a week at a time.

>4. Any attempt to microwave popcorn shall require no fewer than three bags, as two must first be sacrificed to Radiopherous, God of Burning Things In the Microwave Regardless of How Little Time You Put Them In There For.

>5. The more food that has been deposited into any given trash receptacle, the longer that trash receptacle will go without being emptied. If a trash can is filled with empty containers and paper products, it will be emptied immediately upon becoming full. If it is filled with rotten fruit, half-eaten pizza slices, and wasted Chinese food, no one will empty it until the surrounding trash mound begins attending classes of its own.

>6. Any open food or beverage container, if placed on the ground, will be knocked over, no matter how out of the way you put it. The laws of probability and physics will rearrange to ensure that maximum spillage is achieved.

NEW ALBUMS ADDED

I’ve been scanning up a storm and instead of subjecting you to picture after picture, I’ve put together a couple of small albums that you can access if you want.

The first is A Life In Pictures which is just a collection of pictures of yours truly. Starting standing on the deck of a ferry going from Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick, we progress through to last year when you get a view of the author half-drunk at a Buffalo Bills tailgate party. Yes, I have no shame.

The second is Family which shows some of the important people in my life. Sadly, two of them are no longer with us. I’m glad I had a chance to save these. The first picture is my mother and father, Maxine and Ted. Titles sort of give you an idea of who’s who.

HURRICANE FRANCES – TOP 10 LIST

The Orlando Sentinel’s excellent coverage of Hurrican Frances brings us this Top 10 list of questions that have been asked on a citizen’s hotline

> 10 – Is the mall open?

> 9 – What does mandatory mean?

> 8 – Will the curfew let me go to the bar with my friends?

> 7 – Do I leave the sand in the bags?

> 6 – Due to the water, do you put holes in the sandbags?

> 5 – Is Casselberry a county? I live in Seminole County, and it is different there.

> 4 – I heard there is a 9 p.m. curfew for all of Seminole County. Is it different in Sanford?

> 3 – Do the shelters have parking spaces?

> 2 – I’m heading to Alabama and I am in Ocala. I am running out of gas. Should I turn around and go home?

> 1 – I heard the storm is going to Miami. Does that mean it will miss Florida?

It’s said that adversity brings out the best in people but I guess that’s not a hard and fast rule

Yet another scan of an old film print. This one was taken outside Sedona Arizona a few years ago. This is where I would like to retire.
