On the gallon jug of Gandy's milk I purchased at Walmart the other day, it says this: "QUALITY CHEKD." Can we have a word with the QA department at Gandy's, please?Everyone in Texas gives directions in the strangest way. I'm accustomed to directions that include landmarks I am supposed to follow. You know what I mean -- turn at the first lights, head past the Chevron and turn left, yada yada. But Texans invariably prefer a system that includes only landmarks that I am not supposed to see. "Well, you go down 3rd -- if you see a 7-Eleven on your right, you've gone two blocks too far. You want to turn off on MLK and head east. Go about a mile -- if you see a Denny's on your right, you've gone a block too far..." and so on. It's like orienteering-meets-Heisenbergian-physics.
Happy birthday, Luva. You'll be okay. Twenty-five is no great hardship -- I did it myself, just two years ago, and look at me... Er, um. Nevermind.
My birthday present for Luva: the Eiffel Tower. It's yours now. Don't try to move it or anything -- it's better where it is. Just look at pictures of it and know that it's yours now. Enjoy!
