Random Friday

Just random odd thoughts. Don't mind me. Go on about your business. Thx.

• If you have a handful of vitamins 'n stuff to take in the morning, do not take them along with the very first swallow of a freshly brewed cuppa hot coffee.
• If you cut red meat and dairy from your diet one day a week, sez a study from Carnegie Mellon university, (link leads to Science Friday -- grab the podcast and have a listen) you'd be helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If everyone in the US did this, then the reduction would be far more significant than the reductions realized by the "eat locally" movement. So maybe the Catholic Friday Fish Fry whoozit was ahead of its time?
• Ms. Clinton should remain in the race for as long as she can. That way she can earn "delegate points" for sale or trade later. Won't matter. The dead guy from Arizona's probably going to win the White House. Anyone else as apathetic as I am about all the candidates?
• It's graduation time. My neighbors have kids that are all graduating from college or high school and they're each having separate parties. That makes for plenty of games of beer pong, which would be great if only I could stomach beer. "Sapphire and Tonic Pong" just doesn't have the right ring to it, either, dammit. Anyway, high school/college grad makes sense. Some friends' are expected at their granddaughter's eighth grade grad. If that's not way iffy, a cow-orker's headed for his daughter's sixth grade graduation -- sixth grade "graduation" is not a new concept. At least we don't have Prom for first graders. Yet.
• This is not Murphy, but could be my rascally pup if I had a pool slide I left running all day:
