A Variety of Things

"Stupid cow! Don't eat my jacket!" Bonk!

I've lost track of how many times I've said that last night. And hitting them on the head. The bovines never noticed my jacket before--why would they think it was dinner now? Well, at least they didn't try to eat my hat...

Tangled Bank #99

It's now up over at Greg Laden's Blog. Go read about cats, brains, and DNA barcoding.

Booking Through Thursday: Format

All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?

This depends on the type of book. If it's a reference book, textbook, or non-fiction, I would prefer hardcovers because I would use them more often. As for fiction--there are some that are my favorites so I guess I would like a hardcover copy of those. But I read most fiction only once so paperbacks would be fine. But then there's moving which I've done a fair amount of--and that's when I would prefer everything to be electronic.

The Thursday Threesome: Liquid Drops Bandage

Onesome: Liquid-- is falling from the skies this time of year. Be it rain or snow or fog, what's late Winter looking like at your place?

The weather is fairly mild and the heaps of snow piled on earlier in the year is melting. Which is good--because I detest driving on icy roads.

Twosome: Drops -- of sweetener? ...or teaspoons of sugar (okay, tablespoons < g > )? What do you use to make iced tea and other drinks acceptable?

Are you people mad? Drinks shouldn't have extra sugar in them.

Threesome: Bandage-- your owies with a spray or with drops? Have you seen these liquid, no sting, bandage drops yet? Man, I'm thinking these may be ideal to have when you're out and about with kidlets!

I've heard of them, but haven't used them.

And off-topic: I don't have children, but the term "kidlet" (is that a real word?) makes me cringe. Small humans are not bits of chewy candy!

You probably didn't want to hear this, but I once had to keep a petting-zoo goat from eating my child's diaper bag.
