Trying again on the three you didn't get... ;)
Thanks! ...Check for the ones I probably should have received
yesterday (July 2nd): had zero to download. Normally not an unusual event, just with the intermittent missing messages something to check.
I've been trying to keep a little closer eye on things now, watching for
your responses to ones I've just sent... But there still is (more often
than I'd like) the day (or two) I just don't send out anything....
doesn't help my backlog, either, of course... ;)
Just waiting for this to cycle back around... ;) Last week, on a
"it's too hot to cook, so let's pick up something cool at Wegmans
for supper" foray (Thursday, I think), I found those 2-pk packages
of hard-cooked and shelled eggs...! There was a whole slew of them
in the "quick-grab" dairy display in the front of the store... funny
I never noticed them there before... :) Grabbed one package, and as
it's good until July 7, haven't done anything with it yet, but
expect it to be an addition to a supper salad at some point... :)
Horray! I haven't 'explored' to see if Hy-Vee has the hard boiled
eggs. Did buy a dozen eggs at 88› -- advertised special, limit of two;
got just one dozen as didn't need two.
Our store still has the bags of 6 (cooked, peeled) both in organic
and regular... those are in dairy, next to the uncooked eggs... but
this finally answered the question of where that odd 2-pk at the
checkout had come from (at least potentially).... ;)
Yes: doubt the store is just going to buy a case of cooked eggs just
for the check out.
The 2-pk eggs are at the front of the store with other quick-grab dairy,
so sorta just for the checkout... I haven't seen the 2-egg packages
anywhere else in the store... :)
I still haven't seen any at Hy-Vee; admittedly not
doing an all-out search for them but not at the Eggs portion of the
store. Which is 'to the left' of some meats which initially seems to
not make sense but transitions from (starting partway down to the
right) kielbasa, lunch meats, breakfast sausage, bacon, EGGS! So lunch
to breakfast! They're clever!! (Milk and orange juice is on the back wall two aisles away.)
Each store has their own way of being clever in their setups... ;)
Yours does sound particularly clever... <G>
space between us whereas the drivers sitting lower see their hood and
have to guess the spacing. Or could be just when I see my rear view
mirror filled with a reflection of a semi it just looks really close!
Probably some of each... :)
There have been times when I've been tempted to step out and check;
the problem of course is the other driver would probably think I'm
being confrontational just for getting out of the car, much less
approaching.
Yeah... probably best to just stay put and wonder... ;) Maybe you
could set up the experiment with a friend that has the larger
vehicle... have them come up behind as at a light, and then go out
and see... :) There's also the possibility that some of those higher
riding vehicles actually have less stuff in the front of their vehicle
than a shorter normal car's hood would extend... :)
Possible, and right on probably best to stay in the car. ...Might be
able to get by with it in an eccentric manner: use a tape measure.
"Whadaya doin'?!" "Just checking for six feet. COVID-19, y'know!"
[wary shake of head] Dunno about that... tempers are likely to be
getting short with all the isolating people have had to be doing...
even eccentric might not seem very humorous... ;) I'd only do it
with someone I knew, and that was already in on the operation... ;)
Right: don't want to end up being a news headline! Measuring with
someone I knew would be a lot less dangerous (at any time!) but
probably skew the results. They would either know ahead of time I was going to check something, so drive differently, or end up being
considered even more -- umm, 'eccentric' than they thought I was!
You could maybe just warn that at some time, you might jump out of your
car to check out something... not tell them exactly what you want to
measure, lest it influence their driving... ;)
Would seem when moving there was always air rushing under the hood but
could see where above a certain speed a spring or something else in
the latching assemblies moved/flexed. And yes, that would cause me to
slow down too ==> something's not right and so slow down to be a little
safer/easier to stop, etc.
And just a little concern that in a moment I might have become
airborne, even.... <G>
Probably impossible under those conditions but seeing a hood rise and
one would wonder what else.
Given a slight rise in the road, not totally out of the question...
probably not more than an inch or so, but that's enough to not have
control of the car until it returns to the pavement... ;)
Cue that scene from _Smokey and the Bandit_!
Don't need to... ;)
I can eat leftover pizza warm or cold, depending... but fresh
certainly is better nice and warm with melty cheese... :)
Agree! I prefer leftover pizza cold just because it never seems to be
right when rewarmed: crust gets soggy, hot spots next to cold spots,
too hot.... There are devices and techniques to reheat pizza which
appear to work, for us generally just something else to store. And
often to me the cold leftover slice has a different flavour from when
it was originally hot.
As long as it still is good, just different, that's not too bad... ;)
To me it tastes good and that's all I really am concerned about;
wouldn't continue if it didn't! And no, I would not want a fresh
pizza that way. Well, unless a dessert pizza and that's another
category.
Yup, dessert pizza is a different category... :)
Just as easy to glance and toss into recycle, though... ;) But nicely
done might be enough of an eye-catcher to at least read once... <G>
Or glance at the back: ooo - blank! Slice with letter opener and
becomes scratch paper!
That works, too... ;)
Saves money from buying scratch pads, though have purchased because
'fit the job'. Maybe need/prefer all the same size. clean edges, etc.
Some jobs, any piece of scrap will work... other jobs, some uniformity
is more helpful, especially if the scraps need to be kept for a while... ;)
