My neighbors across the street continually think of new and exciting ways to be extremely annoying.  One of their most successful methods is via their cat.  Don't get me wrong, I like cats...even have a couple.  But if you leave your garage door up, it's in your garage.  If you leave your car windows/top down, it's in your car.  Another neighbor finally got pissed off to the point of calling animal control.  Mind you, this is after he had several fruitless conversations with them.

Well, I woke up hungover, went to work, mowed the lawn, sprayed the weeds so far.  Not a modicum of novelty in any of that.  However, I did do one thing I haven't done in probably 25 years:

I caught a grasshopper with my bare hands.

I startled her while I was walking around the yard spraying.  She jump-flew up on my burning bush...it's the one that refuses to either grow or die.  I very...carefully...cupped two hands together on either side of her.

I started my Triops aquarium. What's that you ask? What is a triop and where might someone get one?

The answers to these questions are here and here.

So I've got the aquarium started. My little guys should be hatching sometime tomorrow if everything goes aright.

Just got done running some errands.  I had three things on my shopping list:

Gasoline
Cat litter
Bourbon

As you might guess, this trio required trips to three separate stores.  Luckily BP, Target, and 21st Amendment are within a few hundred yards of each other.

I'm heading home after the last stop, and a thought hits me.  It could be proposed with almost an absolute degree of certainty that there is not another individual on the planet whose grocery list consisted of these exact three items.
